    I just received an advance copy of the September issue of Makes and Models magazine. It features my Stars and Stripes Diablo if anyone cares to check it out.

    Hey Karl

    The story said you wrecked the car, but then raced it later. Do you travel with a trailer full of spare parts?

    Factory racecar. The only thing it could use is a diet. It is a bit heavy for a trackcar.

    Nothing wrong with that Michael. I had 2 Diablos and a TR at the same time once. Why not. Just keep on moving up. You have to have goals.
    I am liquidating most of my cars so i can build a new shop in the (hopefully) near future.

    See you soon,
    Karl

    Karl, Was that your stars and stripes diablo i've seen parked at the Wild Wings on Mt. Pleasant? I saw it one night after I saw a Carrera GT parked across the road.

    Well it certainly is an extremely impressive machine. I grabbed some pictures of both cars. It seemed to be drawing in quite the crowd as i was outside. A friend of mine, Annalise, works there. Very nice girl.

    Ask her if she knows Bradley. He is one of my sons and works there also.

    Charles, Barnes and Nobles only get a few of these books and where probably sold out.

    Beautiful paint job Karl.

    I shure hope you can give me a ride over to the rental car place in the Diablo, although it might make my A-Fib worse...

    See you on the 4th.

    John, I gladly will. The car is very loud and it rumbles your whole body. Do you think that could interfere with your condition?
