    To late! Cliff was in the back door, before I could lock it.... Was good to see you Cliff. I'll see you when you head back home. I'm going to miss everyone this year. Had a ball last year. Hopefully I'll be able to make it next year. Have fun people....

    Just talked to Derick on the phone. Says they are having a blast, at the Knotts Show. I just had to give him crap. He thought because I wasn't there this year, that he would get away free. No, Way! I just couldn't help myself. Hopefully next year, I'll be able to go.....

    Just back for Knotts show. The Mavs represented but not as many as I thought would be there. I think I counted 8 cars. I was at this same show last year and there were a few PINTOS present. This year, the pintos out did us. Just in talking to the folks that were there it seemed like a lot of folks cars were still in the building process (including mine).

    Lets try and get more out next year so we will not be outdone by the pintos. Seriously, they represented hard this year.

    Big ups to the guy that drove from Canada. Sorry, I can't remember your name.

    The wife and I made a detour to KBF to catch the show on our way to Las Vegas. I just wanted to thank the folks who had the Mavericks and Comets. We seen some nice cars and a few details and ideas that were impressive. Far more then I can type about here. I hope to post a few photos once we get back home in San Jose in another week or so.

    This was the first car show I have been to in years and we both enjoyed the event.

    Once again, thanks to everyone who showed a car. Maybe in a year or two I can bring my Maverick down to the show and join you. Seeing more Pintos the Mavericks/Comets and some real nice work has gotten me ready to get back to work.

    Tony

    A very lucky save Coop. Now, are you going to let me fix another tranny for you? Are you going to change the oil in the one you have?
