Hal -
from a former columnist featured in a local LA paper, this is a masterpiece.
What a wonderful chronicle, not only of your obviously idyllic life in SC, but how your Cobra fits into the scheme of things.
Thank you so much - not only for sharing your experiences, but for treating us all to a truly heartwarming glimpse of how our stupid little hobby makes new friends at every corner.
The next beer is on me, and I truly hope that someday I can make good on the offer for real.

Merry Christmas -

Durt
