My thanks also to Randy and Sally for pulling off a wonderful Minnesota Meet! Our Thursday visits to Berry Cam and Engelke Machine out in the countryside proved that some of the highest precision machining of cams, crankshafts and more are still 'out there.' Some Club members will be sending them some of their parts for machining. A leisurely lunch at an old-time drive-in, a couple nice car collections, a visit to an auto graveyard, admiring Randy's personal amazing Concours-level restored Mopar car collection, a morning cruise-in show at a sweet auto condo complex, our afternoon 300 Club car show and Concours judging at our host hotel, our banquet, topped off by Randy's 7th Annual 10,000 Lakes Concours d'Elegance at which Letter Cars were featured made for yet another memorable Meet. A special thanks to my Carl Kiekhaefer-precision pit crew (well, not really that precision!) for helping fix my F's gasoline line into right carburetor leak. As always, great times were had by all visiting and sharing stories with old and new Club members. Special kudos to Lindsey Fuller and his son Michael and family for driving their 300-F and 300-E coupes from Winnipeg. Special mention to Mick Maxwell for flying in from Australia to entertain us with his tales from 'Down Under' and regional lingo - Who knew a 'Nude Car' was one with no power steering or power brakes? Thanks also to Mick who brought me an authentic Aussie boomerang, to pair up with the boomerang taillights on my F!
