Thursday evening. We were invited to tour the private Richard Munz Roadster
Collection. For those of you who have not heard of this collection, myself
included, here is a link to an Autoweek Great Garages article from March of
2008: http://www.autoweek.com/article/20080310/FREE/136277459" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It was an absolutely amazing evening. As can be seen in pictures by Dan
Kroninger, the other “force†behind the resurrection of the DD Club:

Great shots Dan! Thanks!! It was great to see so many classic Roadsters that
actually get exercised on a regular basis. This was evidenced by the fresh bugs
in the radiators of the most recently driven cars!
The only “sadâ€
part of the evening was Mr. Munz’s announcement that he was selling off part of his collection. It is too bad too, as most likely, the new
owners will most probably not drive their new classics like the current owner
does. Here’s hoping the new owners allow others to enjoy these beautiful cars
the way Mr. Munz did for a number of us last week. Here’s a link to the auction

Between the great beer that was available there, amazing cars, motorcycles and
memorabilia, it was truly a great evening. Hell of way to start the season
here!!
