Long Distance!

Well boys and girls.. If Rick White & I thought we put a few miles on our Speedster Replicas in April (1600 miles one way) then we all need to bow to one knee, remove our hats and pay homage to the mileage king at the 50th Anniversary Event. I was just reading through the two articles on Speedsters in Excellence (Sep-04) and spotted a caption under a green Speedster that had gone 3500 miles in a real deal. Pretty cool, eh? I'd like to meet that guy. By the way... that sure looked like Dale's Blk IM in the opening shot on the 50th article... several cars are sitting out in aparking lot, seaside. Anyone confirm?

BTW there was a great article about someone in Oregon that has The ULTIMATE collection of early prototype #01,02,03, a pre A proto and the first Carrera Speedster in the USA. Seems he lives in Oregon and was going to the 50th and said something about Emory's. Anyone spot his cars?

Well Jim Bob, it wasn't me! There is a guy here locally that has a real 550 or two and a 550 replica along with some other exotic machinery. I have never seen any of them. Right after we moved out here in 2000 the Medford paper had a big spread on he and his cars.

3500 miles is a real drive. Did the article have any more details?

You and Rick will probably fight it out again next year at Knotts, right? Rick is driving down to our Southern Oregon fall tour in Oactober so Mr. Davis has a cast iron butt for sure, That is probably close to 600 miles, ah enthusiasm!

Jim,

Love to have you make it, even in a brand X. The tour being planned will show you some of our scenic wonders for sure. Some good friends of ours are realtors and I could set you up with JoAnn for a show and tell of the available R.E if you want. She did a wonderful job for us, so much so we have remained good freinds and golfing buds!
