    NNO: Just remember, you could wake up and it could be a dream. No Penelope Cruz, no 250 GTO replica in the garage. And also remember, you are the only reason you are there (if you get what i mean...). Give my regards to Gerald. (BTW, if you want to twist some panties, do your write up on the GT-2 and stick it in the thread on "Would you sell your F car for a P?). Baisez-moi, your friend. Bill.

    Bill, you're the man, plain and simple... i hope to see you again, be it down here, up there or out in California... Hanging with you for a day was really cool; you're a real class act and i'm proud to call you my friend... Thanks for the kind words, i appreciate them...

    BTW, i posted in the 997 thread and if you see panties flying every which way, it's because i twisted them so hard they straight popped off... :)

    Sqeeze it easy, Breezy.


    Mule, it looks like i'll be there for AT LEAST a week (oh, the horror!:))... i'd really like to meet up to at least talk about models, if not real cars... :)


    Thanks, Sam...


    Smiles, since i took this job, i actually feel a bit younger... :)

    Good thing you enjoy what you do for living. How high we aim is all up to ourselves, and I believe your enthusiasm can take you to where you want to be. Glad to hear you are enjoying your current job!

    Great to hear you're loving it all, Carb. The lack of your post-whoring :) has not gone unnoticed. Posting on here as part of the job--very cool. Sounds like you are making great use of this wonderful opportunity. Enjoy!

    Don't give him any ideas, and DES don't let your job get in the way of growing your post count!

    Why not, it IS a good idea... :)
    The post count has tapered off a bit and i imagine it will continue to do so... Little breaks here and there will keep me in the loop, but there's too much to do and so much enjoyment in doing it that i can't imagine getting bored... :)

    i'm there right now... Was here yesterday; didn't leave until midnight; i can't get enough of it...! i love it...!

    i get to be creative with the things i'm doing... Working a lot on the website, making it more interactive... Will be implementing new concepts down the road... Gotta map them out, first...
    Market Letter day is always fun... i think few people realize that every Market Letter is printed in-house, then stuffed into an envelope and driven to the post office... The printing press here is older than i am... It's a really cool process to watch... Putting effort into different things then watching them all go together and eventually become one, unified thing is really rewarding...

    i'm surrounded by books, so if i need to know something, i just go grab a book; if i can't find it, Gerald knows where it is - although he usually knows the answer without having to look in a book...

    Perks...? Road Atlanta was "work"; Monterey will be "work"... but one of the biggest perks is, over time, i'll learn all sorts of old, new and very interesting stuff... Rather than just identifying a car, i'll be able to differentiate it from other, similar models; i'll know the year(s) it was built and all sorts of other cool stuff... The stories thus far, have been very cool... i've already met some very interesting folks... No regrets here, just lots and lots of fun... :)

    I cannot wait myself. In fact i just talked to my father yesterday and he wants to make the trip also. I am sure it will change a few of my weekend plans as he wants to visit a place where we use to live on top of a mountain overlooking San jose. To be honest i would not mind visiting up there also. In fact that might be a hell of a road trip to make with some Ferrari's in Tow as the roads are twisty and scenic :)

    Likewise since he decided to join in i had to change motel reservations and will be staying in Gilroy in stead of Salinas as originaly planned :( Then we are also talking about taking PCH on the way back and burning a few rolls of film in the process :)

    It should be fun the last time my father and i did a road trip was to Lake Havasu Az for the World Jet Ski finals from NM and he ended up with the girl winning the Bikini Contest sitting on his shoulders that afternoon :D

    BTW if you like some of my jokes just wait till you talk to my dad he can rip them off left and right.
