Thanks for adding me to the list. I'm always in favor of substance over form. Sometime the best things happen naturally.

As an aside, I'm in the process of building, pretty much single handedly, a little modest garage down in back of the house which has come to be known (particularly by my spouse) as the bachelor's sanctuary. The theory is that when (not if) you are "locked out" and need to go and think about what you have done, you can let yourself in and have time and solitude until such time as you are ready to go home and face the music. So I have informed all my male friends, that the sanctuary is there for them, admonishing them only that when they have come to their senses and are ready to go home to just put the key back under the mat and leave the place a little better than they found it and quietly let themselves out (and never breath a whisper of where they have been). We ask no questions and the location of the garage will be a closely held secret. Should you find yourself in similar dire straights, I assure you, you won't be located. We call it the witless protection program.

My goal is to have a little garage warming this coming fall with some sort motorhead mania/culinary event. There is enough room here for a modest gathering of cars, the admission requirement being only that you bring (or would like to bring) along an interesting vehicle to share with similar minded folks.

I'll keep you posted.

PS: I was at LR on Saturday sans Cobra this past year. For the past 15 years or so though it has been the annual pilgrimage; a weekend long session of vintage race car watching, barbecue and cruising the Berkshires in some of the nicest cars ever made.
