Just got back from the unveiling of Marty's car/Birthday party, plus some things that I got done on my car while there. I will post separately about my car and what happened while there.

This is more about the people there and what I saw at Team Ford. First a heartfelt thanks to Todd and Donny; you both went way out of your way to help me, while the Main Event was going on ( Legal Knevil Project ) I was having some work done on my car and was without it for parts of Thursday and Friday.

Todd and Donny drove my wife and I back and forth as events required or allowed my the use of their cars, when what seemed at the time a major problem that develop with my car, Todd took charged, drove it into Team Ford and had the problem resolved within minutes.

I had always thought that Todd when speaking about the people, service and attitude at Team Ford; was maybe stretching it a little, I can tell you from first hand experience: I was wrong, I walked in a stranger and left a friend. The attitude towards our cars and what we do was great.

I also had the opportunity to meet members for the first time and spend time with others that I had already met. I don't want to try to mention all by name for fear I will miss one and hurt feelings, but the barbecue, the breakfast, Marty's party and the dyno-tune all were spent with friends that I was very happy to spend time with.

This club without doubt has enriched and improved the quality of my life and I want to thank each and everyone of you for that,

I bet some of you thought I was just blowing smoke, when I drove up there in August to get my breaks installed and a dyno tune from Aric. I knew I was instore for some good southern hospitality. I'm glad some more members were able to get to one of their meets, and what a meet you got to enjoy. The southern marauders are a great bunch of guys and gals. Oh yeah, you too Todd. :)
