Grady and his car were both outstanding. The car for obvious reasons - Grady 'cause he restored the car himself (he told me it was a flood car!) and cause he is just the most personable guy Ive met since Jonathan.
And it WAS funny how this was a Roadster-intensive meet.

Those are Karmann badges (All Crossfires were built at the Karmann plant in Germany) The photo below is a "reproduction" badge / some color differences from the original badges.

When we were parading down thru Eureka Springs with the police escort, as we rounded a curve in a street, Roberta & I heard a woman come out on the front porch and say "Is it the Corvettes!" Sometimes, we just can't win!!

Figured up my gas mileage for the overall trip (outbound to AR; road trips MON - THU; return trip to SC). Averaged 25.8 mpg driving a total of 2370.4 miles. (Note: I haven't put that much mileage on my Crossfire in 2016 & 2017 combined!! ) Went back & checked the other two similar events. In 2010, when we attended CAA-01 in St. Louis area, coupe averaged 25.7 mpg. For CAA-06, first trek to Eureka Springs, coupe averaged 26.1 mpg. So in the past 8 years, hardly any measurable decrease in performance. That says something for the overall reliability of these cars!!

The planning committee is working on Crossfire Fun in the Ozarks (Round 4). The dates will be June 23th - 27th 2019. Again we urge all attendees to arrive Sunday afternoon or evening (June 23, 2019). I will start a new thread for this as soon as contracts are signed with our host hotel . . .
