>Chuck,
I talked to you today and didn't realize it was you. I was in the Cherry Red
Bugeye. Ed pointed out to me later that that was you, but you had already
left. It was a great show and I had a blast driving the 160 miles one way to
it on these great Carolina back roads. I have now passed the 1100 mile mark
on the car. Carol. '59 Bugeye
Howdee!
