Unfortunately, my wife passed away in 2005. uring 2006 I made arrangements to go to Bville with Paul, we would tour the state for several weeks before the races in his 34 roadster.
Everything went off very well, we went places with the roadster that would make a mountain goat think twice, and the columbia worked just fine. I asked Paul if he ever thought the columbis was worth the effort. his answer was, he really liked the way it operated but the reliability factor and the expense, as well as the down time was wearing thin and if it went again he'd replace it. I asked with what? He said not sure, not many options. I miss him, great guy.

I remember you's two stirrin'-up the old car world with your shenanigans. Hard to believe that was all the way back in 2006. DD
