The two Lemans Blue Camaros were beautiful restos! The white interior in The COPO really set it off. Congrats!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Did everyone get home OK???? About 7:00PM on I55 west I witnessed a near disaster. With a blue early Corvette convertable disabled on the right shoulder with no lights, a later model Corvette tried to pull over for assistance only to find out that you can't stop on Armoralled tires in the rain. 2 complete rotations without hitting anything! WOW. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Aside from the awards noted above, kudos to MR70 for yet another set of Gold Spinner/Top Gun Awards on his spectacular 70 SS396....and he drove it home!

Na, I did not get them autographed, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I even forgot to get her to autograph the sign with the car info. Getting old and senile [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Congrats Rick on the "Top Gun" and the "Gold Spinner" (Well Deserved) I hope you strapped them to bottom of your car to keep the floor pans dry!

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
