Hey guy, thanks to you, Steve, and the ladies for kat-a-van-ing to Indy with me. It was a lot of fun, and one hell of a ride.

We should all get together again some time...

So - I guess that makes the trip home better than going on the Maker's Mark tour???

I think you are suffering from a little known but highly contagious disease called "Modification Overwhelm". It strikes suddenly without any advance warning. At highest risk for contracting this disease are first time Prowler Eventers such as you and Mike and I. I think John was showing signs as well...

You know, I never got that disease. Just don't believe people that tell you our car was stock at Woodward last August except for the $9 chrome grill treatment and the removal of teh front bumpers.

Have fun with your new twotone KAT !! It was really a pleasure meeting you & Mike.

Too cool..... What a husband. Would love to get one for Shelley but that will have to wait for a bit. Really enjoyed meeting you and Mike and am looking forward to Lancaster....

Sincerely,

When we went to the dealer, the previous owner was there to talk to us and to give us the information he had compiled on the car. As it turns out, it was the number one pilot by date and time comparison run on all of them. It does not have Dr. Ru's signature or a number, which he confirmed it should not if it were, indeed, the pilot. The previous owner gave us a picture of it on display at the Detroit Auto Show.

It seems we have what the dealership said we could expect. This dealership was pretty impressive, when Mike raised a flicker of a doubt in their claim that this was the #1 car, they changed their ad to reflect their willingness to wait it out until proof positive was given. As far as I'm concerned, it was.

Darcy caught on immediately, I thought it was his sister - he (Darcy) explained it to me later.

Well, okay I'll let you slide by on this all too feeble excuse, but only because you're clearly telling me it's Darcy that's the smart one (didn't doubt that for a second) Wait a minute...Al Capone on an acid trip...that WAS Mike's sister!

HotRod,

Thanks for the emphasis on the "YOUR". It did not go unappreciated . Given what the Woodward is, I'd be inclined not to touch a hair on it's head. Problem is, I think modifying the car is half the fun of owning it--there are so many performance and appearance goodies out there. Perhaps I should give the Woodward to Mike "Dead Stock" Venezia and take the Orange one...NOT!

BTW, he's already in the process of buying a longer trailer (2 Kat sized).

Yes Hot Rod I already ordered a 32' foot long new trailer.

ED

Becarefull...if sandy reads this you could be in trouble

It was not a bad trip to get the car..let me see, 485 miles to home from dealership, sleep 7 hours drive 485 miles back to dealership, load car drive 300 miles back to Carlisle< PA sleep a little drive 185 mile home unload car, take both Kats on a 2 hour cruse...now I am tired

He forgets the power of a woman's ability to "accessorize"!

Thanks to all of you for your welcome and well wishes.

Oh and Fixumm, don't worry, I will never be in your league for number of posts (or misspelled words for that matter).

BTW, I'm signed on in Mike's name and forgot to change it to me...sorry.
