I'm using an old laptop on dail up (UGH!) because our DSL is down this weekend but I wanted to post a big thanks to Dave "RenMan" for a great buying experience. Robyn and I couldn't be more pleased with the car and the overall purchase.

As many of you know it is a great car and we were a bit sad to be part of Dave's sale as we could tell how much he cared about the car and how much of his heart and soul went into building and enjoying it. All I can say is that we already are very fond of it and it is so special that my Corvette is sitting out in the rain while the Cobra got a nice warm and dry spot in the garage!

The rains in Houston are keeping us from having a Labor Day drive but we did get to take it out last night for a few short drives and it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I can honestly say that no car I've owned up to this point has given me such a great driving feeling. Kudos to Dave for building such a fine car.

We'll be in touch with all of you soon, plan to be at the September Houston meeting if the weather cooperates. And yes, I promptly met the hot side pipe right after being warned by Dave, something my wife is still teasing me about!
