Thanks guys! It is work, but I love it. Piped in music inside and out and talking cars all day, priceless.

Dana, do you know a guy out your way that had a 1967 Z/28 on consignment at this location a few years ago? I remember him talking about a burgundy COPO Camaro and a L-89 that he owned also.

Dana, Congratulations! It's funny, every time we past that store on the way to the desert, or pavilions I think it looks like they have some interesting stuff in there and a lot of it, what a cool location. Do you live close by? Now I really need to stop. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Tues morning will be easier since we are closed on Mon.:-) I have had a few people tell me I am crazy but, usually when that happens it works out for me so we will see.

Thanks again for all of the kind words and encouragement. I want to have a place that everybody feels comfortable when they stop and visit. It is set up like a 2nd home. If you guys are ever on the 10 fwy going by you had better stop by and say Hi.

As far as the questions about the cars I will find out and pm you guys.

Hi Bill,
I live a whole 7 miles away. Now I am in trouble. Can't ever complain about "Nothing to do no place to go."

There are tons of PLAYTOYS hiding in the hills around us. I visited Dana today at his Orange County home. He and wife Kristy can't wait to move the boys and the horses out to the ranch land county area out of the LA Basin.

Dana is a great guy and fun to do business with. And he really understands the vintage car market. A very fair man and an asset to the hobby. He will do well.

Hi Mark
I am sorry it took so long. I have tried to remember anyone that fits that description but I am drawing a blank. Not the 1st time. If you are out on the 10 you NEED to drop in. Talk to you soon.
