    Hi All, Just got back from Palm Beach and while there went down to see our ole friend Steve at Motorcar Gallery. Steve is doing well, and send's his regards to all back in the ATL....
    Here are a few pics of cars he had "laying around" - for what ever reason I did not get a pic of Steve! - All of his cars were low mileage - original or somewhat restored cars... several Dino's & Daytona's.... couple of BMW M-1's which Is about the most I have seen in one place ever!

    Oh yea, the last pic is my "ride" while in Palm Beach area.... the company would not spring for a 360 spider... so had to go to the dark side....

    I plan to visit the gallery during my annual extended trip to south Florida late next month. With my luck, Steve will be up here visiting family while I am down there! (That's the way it always seems to happen with Tim Stanford.....)

    The new location is a nice bump up for the boys. God for them! Palm Beach suits you!

    Gotta love PB... we were shopping on Worth Ave, so I popped into Torneau - they were literally just re opening their Rolex Show room... champagne etc... nothing like a glass of bubbly while trying on watches!!!! as for living there... I think the humidity would curl my hair to much! (Not to mention drying up my wallet!)

    I was there a few years back when Marc Sonnery was there with Steve and they had a fabulous Lamborghini Jarama and a blue Lancia Stratos!

    Hi everybody.

    Tom, thanks for stopping by, it made my week. This is a forty year old dealership and we have lots of regular but seeing real friends is the best. Cool Porsche but be careful the devil doesn't pull you to the other side.

    Jack we actually have three Mangustas on the floor and one on a truck that was just traded on a flares and chairs Dino. That will make four in stock. Four seems to be a lucky number for us. We also have four Maserati Boras, four Bentleys, and until last week had four Dinos. I hope the Daytona is working well for you. I've been up for a couple of the Cars and Coffee shows and keep watching you.

    Josh, we had three M1's but one sold last week. We've owned 20 of the 450. We have pictures of the remaining cars at motorcargallery.com

    Jim, I'll watch for you at the end of December. Bring your camera... oh wait, I forgot, you don't go anywhere without your camera. Call me (678 361-7997) before you come over and I'll make sure you have the run of the place if I'm not there.

    Any of you folks making down to South Florida have an open invitation to stop by. We're in downtown Fort Lauderdale, minutes from the beach, airport, and cruise ship port. We specialize in vintage exotics so you won't see the spiffy rides Will sports, but I guarantee we'll have something you'll want your picture.

    and Will my friend, the locals tell me there's 50% more fish here since you moved north.

    Regards to everyone,

    Steve

    Steve,
    Miss having you in the 'hood and haven't even received your AutoWeek in my mailbox for sometime! Glad to see you're now "President" of my company, addressed to my location. I filled out all the credit apps that have your name on them (as Pres. of the company), so you'll be getting some bills to pay in the future.
    Your neighbor.

    (for readers - we share the same street number, one block parallel to each other)
