Jochen, believe me the pleasure was all mine to be able to show you around Indianapolis and to take you to a couple of private car collections. Make sure that Wolfgang writes Pepsi and ask them to inport Mountain Dew for the Police Department. Tell Stefen that his part for his car will be delivered today in Ohio so it can be packed and sent to you in Austria. I hope Marko gets to feeling better. A cold is no fun to have. And you, I will miss talking to you and hearing all about you and your family and the country you live in. We will stay in touch by the computer and there may be a trip for me coming some day to Austria. You never know. Make sure you share your pic and video and your experiance with all your friends back home I think they will like the over 7000 pic you took. Have a safe trip. Mike

Jochen,
I am so glad Mike and I had a chance to spend time with the 4 crazy boys from Austria. Our mutual love of Corvettes made it so easy to become friends very quickly. I am happy yo all got a chance to see so much while you were here in America. I hope my wife Nancy and I can visit your beautiful Austria some day. Tell Wolfy I might just take up on his invitation. Nancy and I will give that Turkish coffee a try this week for sure. You guys were the highlight of my summer. we will stay in touch.
Best Regards,
Vince

Verna & I were happy to show the guys around here in Michigan. The time was too short. Mike Verna & I would ;ile to take in some of the same scenic tours with you someday. Do people from Michigan count as world travelers? If you make up here someday I will plan a trip to the GM Build Center. The trip that the four guys took would fill anyone's bucket list.

The 4 crazy guys from Austria spent 4 days with me in Indianapolis and a couple days with me in Effingham IL. for Funfest. I must say that the 4 days in Indy they made the most of it. I am sure that when they went to bed at night they had felt like they got a day full of interesting things to see. I kept them busy and introduced them to Mountain Dew and I think that is what kept them going. They were still drinking the Mtn. Dew when I saw them last at Funfest just before they left for Chicago. With taking sum 7000 pis and a couple 3 hrs of video tape I know they will be busy for several weeks putting it all together so they can show there family and friends. I am just glad they had a good time.
