Great time of fellowship!

Beautiful coaches!

Makes me wish Monaco could have made it through the recession.

Was glad to meet Moe today. Will be heading to the shop tomorrow to look over a slide of his.

Thanks for coming in and trusting your baby to my tech's, Dustin and Mike. I think you will be pleased with their work. They may drive you nuts as both are very OCD and perfectionists.

Hope that Aussie mate makes it over to see us. It is always a hoot getting the two Aussies together. 🙂

 I saw it too,  takes you back. 

 Where is this place and what is the sign advertising?

Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing.  Located off I-75 south of Ocala FL at exit 341 (FL484). Worth spending a full day there.  So much to see.

They let us stay overnight. 

Arrive before the museum closes at 5PM, then they lock the gates till it opens in the morning at 9AM.

They have a truck/RV pull-through parking area with about 10 spots.

That's a cool museam.  I saw it any years ago, and even briefly saw Don himself outside. 😎

[Mocephus]

Yes, it was amazing to see the engineering he put into his cars and his many accomplishments!

Yep!  Maybe the upcoming Monacoers. 

I think that Landsdown was a popular paint scheme that year.   The only concern I have is the black "racoon mask" around the windshield; I have little to no checking but I know the black paint is most likely to absorb IR heat.  Wondering if any 05 Sig owners have repainted that to body color.

No checking on the front black mask here yet either but trying to keep it waxed!
