another roadster devotee

Post by luke »

I started looking at roadsters a while back and my search eventually led to Mike Young. He was fantastic and fixed me up with a beautiful 69 SRL311. The car is in great shape and a daily driver. I'll post some pictures soon.

I can't wait to meet you all in Shasta, Solvang, ...

Great purchase - and certainly follows the "buy the best you can afford" axiom. I think you'll be very happy with this!

Beautiful car, Luke! Congrats... I'm always amazed at how many of us have been impacted by Mike Young!!

Come out and take a drive with us on August 26 - see the post titled "Bay Area Fun Run". At least 6 other roadsters will be joining the drive.

Cheers,
Dave

Welcome. You are one of several in the Bay Area that have bought Roadsters in the last 6 months. I look forward to meeting you and the car as well. Hopefully you can make it to Dave's run in a few weeks.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I gotta say, while I was looking for a car I spent a lot of time lurking on this site. This really is an amazing forum and group of people.

I'm sorry to say I can't come out for the ride that weekend because we'll be checking out the concours in hillsborough. Next time for sure though.
