Default {Ratpack} Fond Farewell

Well the day has come to head out to start the new job. As I leave I wanted to say thanks for everything from the "RatPack". Jack and his spirited no notice cruises, the Liberty Cruise, Hooters tour, the Skyline Drive and route 211 and the friends who caravaned to the Cruise Inn's, the Knotts Island trip with a visit to Grave Digger and of course the old gravel road. :eek: It has been a blast and I can't think of a better group of people to hang out with and cruise. I'll keep a light on for you when we find a house in KY. Jack you can leave the mystery meat bag at home and please take care of the Manatee.

Oh Jack I'm sorry but I can't trade you the GS for that rare white roadster. The shipping company made it clear they would not ship a sought after car such as yours. I will reluctantly let them ship mine out there so I can put a few more miles on it exploring the roads. :jester :jester

Everyone stay safe and keep the Hooters tour alive with Waterside!! An awesome stop on the Hampton Roads Tour.
If you are ever around the Evansville or Henderson area once we get settled in stop in and say Hi!

:cheers: Leo

Thought about you today as we ran around Charles City County and then across the ferry! :rolleyes: :D

Without the "white stripe" in the mirror, it wasn't quite the same!

Don't get me wrong, it was great! But not quite the same :D
