I Had A Good Week End

[UncleLar]

Yesterday was good.my son lives out in Mountain View,CA and he went to an airshow at Moffett Field Air base. He went for a flight in the WWII B17 bomber nine o nine and loved it.He topped that off by going for 1/2 hour of stick time in the only dual control P51 Mustang still flying.He liked that even more than driving a Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder in the mountains in Italy with a Ferrari test driver along as an instructor.
Then today I got some PM's from a member here asking me if I was the Uncle Lar who was a salesman at Gateway Mercury who stuffed a card in his DTR MM.
Well,I wasn't that Uncle Lar but as it turns out I was the second owner of that DTR.It was my first one,still in real nice shape and well cared for and well loved.That was great to hear.
Some of you guys probably met him last year in Chicago for the big shindig,but at that time he didn't know the Red Sled was my old Marauder.
I ain't gonna post who or where he is though,I'll leave that up to him.
So,it was a pretty good week end,topped off by me,out on one of my Harley's,running into a bunch of Austrians riding rental Harley's doing a Rte 66 ride,stopped in Prescott on Whiskey Row.Rte 66 is famous world wide and a big attraction bringing more tourists to the States than you'd first think.And it's just plain fun to explore,lot's of neat old stuff still remains to be seen.
:burnout:

I am the owner of UncleLar's DTR. It was nice to learn more about the cars history and to know that it was as cared for before I owned it as much as it is now.

My son called tonight,it was good to talk to him.After him having owned an 89 RS camaro at the age of 16,a couple of Honda S2K's,an Audi S4 and a 2006 LeMans Blue C6 Z06 Vette he's put a deposit on a new Porsche Cayman GT3,the proposed but not yet sure if they will make it S or R (I ain't good with that S and R furrin stuff designations) and would take delivery of it at the factory and go bumming around Europe with it.If they do produce them he's #5 on the waiting list and he said he'd take me with to bum around with him.Why not,I've never been to Europe and I'd get to visit some of the family I know in "the old country".meanwhile he's signed up for Bondurant's driving school.
Ooops,it's a GT4 RS.
