Thanks Rich... thanks Billy. The modesty is fake--I'm an unremitting self-promoter... yes sir.
It's great to be in Excellence magazine--I've enjoyed it for many years. It's also kind of neat to have the article posted online which is done to only a select few.
The car has changed quite a bit since it was photographed for the issue. Here's a recent iphone shot of my bud Jerry's Carrera Speedster in the foreground, and one with my other bud Yale's '70 S--both those cars are many clicks above my little hotrod. And here's a shot of my first time at Willow Springs.
The odometer is at nearly 215,000 -- I've put over 24,000 miles on it since I bought it and hope that can continue. I've had it all over the east coast and even in California a couple of times. It's so much of a blast to drive and that's definitely the best thing about these cars, and this car in particular -- IT IS DRIVEN and enjoyed to the max.
