Yep, though for a minute I had to think about it because I rarely get called a gentleman. Believe it or not, it was TWO years ago for the June meeting when I went up and met you all before touring Sam Packs collection!

I sent you a PM a few days ago to that effect, in fact when I saw you post on the thread, though it may not have made it to you. I appreciated your taking me under your wing that day and introducing me around to everyone. I am always a bit hang-back in new crowds, though everyone was very friendly and I look forward to driving up when the heat or the 90 min drive won't bake my poor balding head.

I wish it were not so far up to that pat of the World! Down here it's more the Quad-Cab Cummins Dually Club group than Cobras (though I can legally joke about it since I have one of those, too).

I finally took the cover off the Cobra it had hidden under for those 2 years and put the engine/tranny in it earlier this month. I am awaiting a new steering rack (the original was defective-I guess they got a bad run of them at some point) Reg at Backdraft said he'd send me so I can get the car registered and on the road.

BTW, I didn't know you were a LBC fan as well, evidence your Big Healey. I used to have a British Car Restoration shop some years back, and still have my trusty Morgan 4/4 hanging around I should really try to sell now that I have the Cobra up and running (almost).
