Hey, Adam -

Just read the entire story - and what a story it is. You did an outstanding job - I hope you can turn it in at school for credit! You really gave me a feel for your journey. You are a lucky guy to be around such great cars and great people.

The more I hear about the RUF's, the more I like them - like I want them to be my friends. What incredibly gracious people to spend so much time with their customers, sharing their enjoyment of cars and driving.

Thanks for writing this up!

If I'm ever able to afford a RUF the RUFs can thank you for getting them another customer. Some marketing guru should include this story in a book. I bet RUF has a lot of repeat customers.

Regards/Robert

Ps. Great looking car. Ds
