met tonyb55

I got to meet Tonyb55 and his lovely wife yesterday! They invited me to their home about 35 miles from me, gave me a tour of their really clean 50 F1 pickup, their shop and home based business building induction systems and ECUs for racing outboard motors, then they invited me to stay for a delicious dinner! Not only do we have an interest in old trucks and racing in common, but we both own dogs of a super rare breed (their's is a purebred, mine a 3/4 mix) and enjoy the same adult beverage selection!!! Even our dogs hit it off. I really enjoyed our visit, and hope to do it again soon.

That's great to have someone close by. I really miss that when all the guys used pitch in to help the one needing it.

That's great, it sure would be nice to have one of you guys close.
Very nice truck Tony, I'm jealous.
So, now I have to know.....what breed? I've got the super common Cocker Spaniel and King Charles Caviler Spaniel.

Thanks, Joe! It's going to be nice, having a friend nearby that speaks the same language.

Our dogs are known as "coton de tulear". I've never seen another one in the 11 years that we've lived in NC, so it was sure an amazing coincidence when Chuck pulled his Autocross car into our driveway with his dog riding shotgun!
