Yesterday, Lori drove her Pantera (and I followed in the humble minivan, 
loaded with boxes of Pantera parts for Eurodudes plus all our luggage, we met 
up with Randy and Linda Welch in their Pantera, and convoyed up to Reno 
(about three hours) where we met up with Julian Kift.

After the debacle of last year, where his 18-wheeler car hauler blew up in 
the middle of the desert, Julian doubled down and bought an even bigger, 
better rig!   He can now haul five cars instead of a measley two!   When we got 
to his shop, Jerry Brubaker arrived in his beautiful green car.

So, we loaded the three Panteras present,

then piled in the minivan for the long drives home, not getting home until 
about 8:00 p.m.

This morning we washed my Pantera (a rarity) and are about to leave to 
drive back up to Reno, load it (along with Julian's white GT5), and then start 
the two-day drive to Phoenix.   We should arrive there Sunday.

See you there!
