WHILE WE WERE GETTING THE CARS BADGED FOR THE RALLY, "LONMAN" ARRIVED IN HIS MERCEDES 55 AMG CONVERTIBLE FLOWN IN FROM EUROPE. THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO WE OPENED IT UP AND DETERMINED THAT A BELT DRIVE PULLEY HAD A BAD BEARING.

ONE OF THE LOCAL GUYS SENT HIM TO BEVERLY HILLS MERCEDES TO HAVE IT FIXED. WHEN THERE, HE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE EXACTLY "NONE" OF THOSE PARTS IN THIS COUNTRY AND IF HE WERE TO DRIVE IT ANY DISTANCE THE DRIVE BELTS WOULD FREEZE UP, SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR.

HE CALLED A FRIEND IN GERMANY WHO HAS AN AMG ALSO. THE FRIEND WENT OUTSIDE, PULLED THE PART, WENT TO THE AIRPORT AND FLEW THE PART TO LOS ANGELES, RENTED A CAR, DROVE TO VEGAS TO ME LONMAN AND INSTALLED THE PART.
NOT A MINUTE OF THE RALLY WAS MISSED.

WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR!!!!!!!

GREGG AND VICKI, THANKS FOR THE CALL.

YOU TO ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT.

IT IS TRULY ABOUT THE PEOPLE, NOT THE CARS
