Many thanks for accepting my request to join your community. I was torn between my real name and an alias of some kind, but I suppose it doesn't matter. I'm looking forward to meeting some other petrolheads!
Thank you for the welcome and the invite.

though I've really only been through Dallas twice, I will keep this group in mind if I ever venture that way again.

Thanks for the welcoming Larry,
I really like the aviation and car articles,
Ron
Thank you Sir, i am glad to be here finally and i send you my best regards from Luxembourg....
