Ready for take-off

We're about to embark on our trip to Indianapolis for the Hot Rod and Restoration Trade Show followed by a short visit to Jacksonville, FL to stop by the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance...a.k.a. "Bill and Paul's Excellent Adventure". While it sounds like all fun and I know we are both looking forward to it, we expect to get a fair amount of serious work in during our trip. There are several business and industry specific seminars along with an opportunity for quality time with various manufacturers reps to discuss their latest products.
No doubt, there will be a lot of discussion about the economy and its impact on the Collector Car Hobby, Hot Rodding and the Automotive Restoration business in general. We're anxious to hear how others in the industry are doing.
The trip to the Amelia Island Concours will be an opportunity for us to get a sense of the current trends in terms of Collector's interests and preferences. We'll also have the opportunity to view some first class restorations. All in all, it should be an interesting and educational trip.
We plan to blog our thoughts an impressions while we're on the road....both the serious "business" stuff as well as the lighter side of our travel experience. It should be fun.
Check back soon......right now, we've got to start packing.
