That's the start of your 15mins of fame Robert. Was that in MI? Why did you come down here just to drive back to Niagara? And how come I didn't know there was going to be a stopover in MI???

Yup. Came to MI and then drove BACK to Niagara!

Why did you not know? That is a good question that only you could answer.

I though you gave a nice interview Robert! It was nice to see you and your dad again even though I couldn't be there. Wish you guys were coming to the event in Branson!

Was Ralph Gilles in an ACR or a Vert with a custom double bubble top and wing? I never noticed a cut-line across the top of the windsheild header on an ACR before.I thought the whole roof flowed smoothly into the A-pillars. Anyone?

Ralph very much has an ACR. A very bad ACR I might add. Will upload pics tonight of it.

Good job.

If you run fast enough or drive fast enough, you won't catch on fire.

Ralph was not at the media events....his black/Graphite ACR was "double-locked" in his garage, along with Grailkeeper's VOI-10 Coupe ....

Unbelievable. I just opened my mail box to find the Fangs VCA-Ohio publication. I opened it up and the first picture that I saw was of the Mopar Nats and who do you think was right there front and center? Mopar Boy!

Way to go guys. Excellent advertising for Chrysler. These newsstories give Chrysler another reason to keep sponsoring us and our events. Yah, VCA.

That's a lot of exposure for Chrysler. All this publicity and Motortrend and the other magazines are lookin' bad since they never publish good Viper stories anymore. Wonder if there'll ever be a "ZR1s Invade Niagara" - NOT!

Not likely there'll ever be a Datsun GTR invades anywhere (outside of Japan).

Great job Mopar Boy - guess you get to write a story.

Ted

It's too bad that they missed Leslie was a vettegirl, not a Porsche girl.

I suppose someone (that belongs) should leave a comment on twitter?

Mopar Boy I thought you had a Great interview and I had to get my son to watch it so he could see how far a little savings from small jobs can go.

Thanks Steve!

Maybe it is just when one watches their own interview that they see more flaws....

You show your son! Anything is possible! Not to mention he will become VERY good at mowing lawns! He can then make anything look like a golf green!
