Crap, I should have looked you up.  Of course, the wife was with me  :o

In that case, I could have pointed you to the best 5-Star restaurants. I've been kicked out of every one of them because, well, you know.

Did Pond move the machine shop and whole operation to Arizona?

Laughed at that episode as they had a couple of other Stocker's in the group.One of which was Jason Line's mom running her F/SA. Jay....was the wife with you at RPM?

She has a friend in the area also so she had lunch with her, but she did stay around Robert's place for 15 minutes or so before she left.  I believe she gained a new appreciation of how the car hobby could explode  ;D

Clearly the easiest way to minimize your own collection is to take her to someone like Mr Pond's place.  Makes total sense.
