Hi Jamo, SFFireDog, Roy/Tina-65Blur and others.

It was perfect running in to all of you there. Last week was a pretty big deal for me and some of the crew that joined me this year. I was sort of the trip tour guide from early Thursday to late Monday evening. Thank you for all the nice comments on the car. I really enjoyed myself and especially meeting all of you. Aren't Cobras and Cobra people just great! Sooooo Cooooool.

Well, it's back to Reality again... but to soften the blow we are already starting to plan for next year. I can't believe it, other people outside of our crew are already starting to reserve rooms quickly at the B&B we stay at each year. We had not even checked out yet and 12 of 26 rooms are already reserved for 2004.

If you guys want to join in next year, let me know and I can give you the details. We may do a Friday drive to Hurst Castle on Hwy 1 next year instead of the Italiano, doing Laguna Seca on Saturday, and possibly doing Concours' De Elegance on Sunday for the ladies for 2004. Let me know if you want to hook up.

To cap it off, one of my good friends put his name down on the list for one of the Shelby Cobras while we were there so he can join in too next year. I'm starting to collect good photos and video footage to see if I can produce some sort of private DVD or something...we'll see on that.

Thanks Again! Duane
