Default Museum Delivery

Some of you have asked that I post when my museum delivery will be. Sooooo, it will be on Monday, Oct 4th at 11:45 a.m. Some have indicated they would like to attend. We're going down Sunday, Oct. 3rd. I have several hotel rooms reserved. If you are going to attend please let me know as I need to let the museum know how many will be attending. Only four of us can go on my Plant tour, however they are setting up a tour for everyone else attending during the same time. It's going to be a BIG

Mark, sorry I'll miss it. That is my mothers 76th birthday so I'd better be in Columbus. I'll watch for you guys on the web cam & I'll buy the first beer to celebrate when I see you.

Sounds like a hoot Mark, good luck with the delivery and the car. I was at Ricart Chevy yesterday, they have a Silver/red/black in the show room, it is really neat.

Mark,

Bad timing - I'm scheduled to be in Salt Lake City on the 4th. If that falls through for some reason I'll see you there - can just stay over from the R8C reunion weekend

Either way, enjoy the delivery and post some pics!

Mark, I'm right now planning on making it. I'm going to be crashing at Jason's place in Nashville over the weekend and will probably drive up to BG Monday AM. That is the hopeful plan anyways. I'm going to confirm some time off at work tomorrow.

Mark,

Just had a seminar with the Museum prep team; they've got your car in line along with several others for Monday. Also did the plant tour - all coupes at this point due to some problems with the verts. Enjoy the delivery and look under the car on the driver's side for the prep team's signatures.
