Hey thank you Rod for the kind words...not anything someone would do for a friend...and Dave & Mary are some of the nicest peeps anyone could call friends...anyone who knows them knows that.

Anyhow's...awesome day today,Dave got re-acquainted with the car in short order with a strong 20 minute session that not only bedded the brake pads but produced 7k bursts...and came back clean and dry...really not much more one could ask for after a 5 year absence.

Tired right now but please follow along here for the complete start-to-finish story along with the latest updates:

That's just the coolest thing ever John --- You've heard me say it before -- the cars are just the part that gets people together --- so it's perfect that you were there to help Mary and David! They're great folks! Lucky you!

That little Lola has to stir the soul for sure!
