The best layed plans...

So, we had this really great idea that we would blog from the road during out "World Tour" to Indianapolis and Jacksonville. What we didn't count on was a technical gremlin with our laptop that would not allow us to connect to the internet (still working to fix it)....from what I can tell this "local only" connection thing on a Vista equipped laptop is not uncommon. Unfortunately, the various fixes I've found on the net haven't worked...yet.
Anyway, I was able to get one blog out using a computer in the hotel lobby but I was really hoping for more.
None the less, we will bring you various stories from our trip. By and large it was very good and we made the most of our time with the various performance parts manufactures, paint company reps, and other fabricators. We also managed to make a pilgrimage over the the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a tour of the Speedway's Museum prior to heading off to Jacksonville.
The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance was amazing collection of rare and exotic vehicles of all types. Truly a learning experience along with being a lot of fun. We were able to get some close up photographs of several Mercedes 300SL Gullwings that will help us as we complete the restoration of the two we are working on.
So....subsequent blogs will detail our experiences at the Trade Show as well as the Indy Museum and the Concours....along with our travel "adventures". We'll also include some pictures. So stay tuned.
We also plan to upload some additional pictures of our trip to our web site: www.hahnandwoodward.com over the next day or so....check them out.
