Mark, Jason,

The Ford plastic speedo gear stripped out a little while back. I have gone through two now.
Happy to use the windshield mounted GPS module in the interim.

Besides, I can't be posting videos on the net from TCM with the speedo front and center.

On a related note, for those of you sorting out your drive-train options before taking the plunge, check out

HM1038 is outfitted with
Tremec 3550/TKO 500 (0.68 5th)
3.36 rear axle ratio
295/50R15

Okay Gents,

I compiled three legs of Saturday's cruise as a POV video from the cockpit of HM1038. I am posting the Youtube link and hope you enjoy it. Bob and I were blessed with great weather, great company, and open roads.

The video is in 1080p and overdubbed in stereo, so prepare your browser and speakers. I hope you enjoy it.

Awesome job there Bobby, certainly looks like fun.

Great pics.
Thanks for posting!

Great pics Bobby

Bob, thanks for the pics!! Looks like a really nice area. We're planning on visiting there in July so we'll check some of these places out.

My son is now transferring to San Antonio where he will be the XO for the San Antonio Naval Recruiting District. Hopefully next year I can schedule a trip out there and time it so I can at least attend the Texas Cobra Meet. Have fun and post lots of pics!!

Dear All,
I have been out of pocket for far too long... so long in fact that it was just easier to create a new user than resurrect the past. Bob's enthusiasm is infectious; my re-emergence on the Hurricane Forum is testament, so be wary of large doses or prolonged exposure to his enthusiasm.

Bob did a tremendous job in his reporting to you all who could not join us this year. We have a saying about the Texas Hill Country and the Trans-Pecos however; "they don't make a camera big enough to do it justice." Bob did his best and succeeded for those of you not having seen it in person.

So... we are all in agreement about 2017,
- sounds like Sam has a plan to make an appearance happen, he just has to make arrangements to bring his car,
- and Kurt can drive in from the Bikini's in North Austin daily (the girls sleep until about 4:00pm anyway, so plenty of time to cruise the hills before Showtime, errah', I mean Dinner),
- Mark and Matt, how about it? Start laying the groundwork now. I have unique memories of each and every year that I have attended, that I hope I never forget.

Thanks Bob, I didn't think it possible with the pain of Jay's absence, and I hate to say it, but 2016 was the best yet.
Pending weather, I say we extend to eight days next year.
