Warmest Regards to all

PS "Gotthard" is a well known swiss band whose singer, Steve Lee, died in a freak accident a while ago when the group of bikers he was traveling with had pulled off themotorway near the Utah state line, to change into wet-weather gear, when a tractor-trailer truck swerved, sending the trailer careening into a parked Harley-Davidson motorcycle that then hit Lee.
Here's a clip on youtube:

Hi Edo,
I think it was the charming, charismatic, efforts of one Mr. Lowrider and his spectacular better half, Easyrider that talked you into the judging of these wonderful efforts of cars built by all your Friends.

Fantastic song video! Such a sad tragedy, Life just isn't fair at times.

[Lowrider]

It appears that Kate has no objections at all to being described as spectacular, Brian. Your previous indiscretions have now been forgiven.

Thanks for posting, Sire. We all appreciate the time you're giving us here.
Eagerly looking forward to the results of your speed trial and seeing which Lucky 13 cars manage to tickle your fancy.
(No, you can't have any of them until the series is finished!)

Best regards,

[macman]

Please Autograph mine!

The Kingie is intending to do the Lugano time trial and concours judging next weekend, 15/16th May, with the results coming through on the Monday following.
The cars will be in the post to the US before the 22nd of May when he'll be off touring with the gorgeous Bibi.

Fingers crossed!

[garyvmachines]

Does the Kingy Have a Time machine  ??????  Dam those European's  !!!!!

Must be a Smart Phone App ..........   I thought it was June

[Jairus]

It's the rotation of the earth Gary.

[Lowrider]

Well spotted, Gary. Thank you. 22nd June.

After Lugano the cars will travel to REM Raceway and be in the care of Brian McPherson. Brian is laying plans for a big web-cast round on JULY 13th with, hopefully, some special guest drivers along with the local REM hotshots.
There will also be a sprint down the REM drag strip for full series points on a different day. Brian will give notification of this once it's arranged.

The double fun at REM will take us up to six rounds. I'm glad things are progressing quickly this time around.

Regards,

[MantaRay]

I think the King should sign them all!

[One_Track_Mind]

Personally, I would like to have a picture with Miss Christine holding my car! OR any of the Kingies supermodel friends!

[Edo]

We all know this is a family forum and naked girls are a no no.

 

P.S. I would be simpler to know who does not want its car to be signed...(Kingie will not get offended, rest assured)

[One_Track_Mind]

You know my Email!
Would be honored to have a signature placed upon my car
Thank You, Sir

No offense sir, but I can live with-out a signature. Pretty sure I speak for David too.

Gentlemen

 

after taking into consideration the craftsmanship and especially a research into a kind of particular (may we say peculiar?) esthetic, sometimes possibly devoid of any utilitarian scope,

 

the Kingie speaketh (chassis points, then body paint's, then the total points):

 

Evil Minows           5 + 5 = 10 pt

 

Lo Bucks               5 + 5 = 10 pt

 

Walker/Weldon      4 + 4 = 8 pt

 

Gary Vogeler         5 + 2 = 7 pt

 

Al Bond                  2 + 5 = 7 pt

 

REM                      4 + 3 =  7 pt

 

King/SSME            4 + 2 =  6 pt

 

Tony Davey           4 + 2 = 6 pt

 

Andy Brown           4 + 2 = 6 pt

 

John Dilworth       2 + 4 = 6 pt

 

All the other cars are awarded 5 points.

I don't understand how the 2 first place Concours cars were awarded 10 points by the Kingie,

then awarded 25 points by Steve-a-roonie ??

[Lowrider]

Pablo - Edo awarded each car marks out of 10 in the concours competition to place them. I awarded them series 'round' points, as it was always the intention to treat the beauty contest as a full round of the series, which start at 25 and count downwards.

Sorry for not making this clearer.

[Jairus]

Two different points systems, got it!  Thanks for clearing that up Steve.

[Pablo]

 

[Maximo]

Yes, Jairus does correctly speak for me, however could I get your signature on a check instead?

 

Ha hahahahaha...!
