You guys may recall several months ago a craigslist posting was forwarded to 
the list for a NOS Bugeye hardtop in Torrance CA for $100. I have always wanted 
a hardtop for my Bugeye, so I forwarded it to Zoom and Buster in SoCal with 
instructions to buy it and if they didn't want it I'd take it. Buster responded 
first, CC'ing me on his correspondence to the seller saying HE'D always wanted 
one, and he'd take it. I was happy for Buster, but a little bummed that I'd 
missed yet another hardtop. I'd even lamented this to Flounder repeatedly while 
relocating his shop, which includes several rare and beautiful hardtop 
variants. 

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. My wife sits me down and has a weird look on her 
face (I'm thinking I was gonna be a papa again or something!). Turns out 
Greyhound has LOST the hardtop that Buster bought and SENT TO ME (of course, 
Frank, Peter and possibly others were in on it to some extent)! It was never 
his intent to keep it, the whole thing was a ruse by him. Greyhound finally 
finds it, it's beautiful and, like Buster's BusterCluster Sprite, means a 
helluva lot more than than its tangible value. Buster's note says "Now, why in 
the world would I ever live in a place where I need a hardtop?".

The top has inspired me to get my street Bugeye right, and I've been driving it 
every day. An amazing thing to do, and once again proof that this hobby/list is 
truly a brother (and sister) hood. 

Cheers to all,
Ron
