[V8] Back home from Carlisle

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Sorry I couldn't make it out this time, guys.  Yeah, Tony's a hoot and
Dave's right -- don't ask him what he really thinks about V8's ;-)

I'll pass along your thanks to Mike tomorrow.  We have a combined
Audi/VW show at VOA Headquarters tomorrow and Tim Hollister and I will
be representin' the V8s :-)  It's called Motorstadt (Motor City, he,
he).  I'll make sure to take some pics, too.

Best,

Ingo

(Seriously -- flying across the country to bank on a $700 4kq to get you, your gear, and the occasional family member from, roughly, NC to DE to PA to VA to WI to OK without any major gotcha is even nuts for most of us wack-jobs!)

And of course it was great meeting listers (george, scott, allan, endezer, et.al.) and finding out they're not the dicks everyone says they are.  Ron and Lanier, we held out hope and saved you a spot, at least in the beer line.  And if anyone knows Mike (4kq), please pass on thanks for the tent space!  Can't wait for the next event.
