Hey Jim,

Thank you very much for taking the time to bring your car to the meet. I am glad you made it safely after the tire blowout. We hope to see you next year!

Luis

Thank goodness the blowout caused no trouble!

I had a blowout with one of their trailers one time too - unacceptable!

Thanks for the pics, looks like a very solid car.

I trailered my 6.3 to Las Vegas from Cathedral City (next to Palm Springs, California) due to it not running yet. 600 mile round trip, picking up Tom Hanson caravanning behind me for 200 miles on the way up on the 15. Thanks Tom. I stayed at Planet Hollywood with oversize parking to accommodate the trailer & pickup. I want to thank everyone that came over to take a look at it and for all the helpful comments and advise, especially Neil and Michael.[:)] Rode with Jack in his 6.3 to Hoover Dam & Lake Mead for my 6.3 experience with air conditioning working in 100 degree heat.[8D] thanks Jack.
I had a great time and want to thank Francis, Luis & Jack for the hard work, and of course everyone else.
Not an uneventful trip home as people were pointing & waving frantically at me as they pulled along side at 65 mph, 17 miles south of Vegas, so I pulled over only to find one tire on passenger side of trailer was completely gone from the rim. WOW, I didn't feel a thing.[?] Called UHAUL Roadside Assistance and they sent out a Tire Co. with new tire & rim. Was on my way in 1.5 hours after pulling off the highway. Great Service. Home safely with much more knowledge on my 6.3 than I ever imagined.[:D]
Thanks again,
Jim @ kimobenz
