Someone asked Carroll Shelby what his favorite car was. His reply..."The next one"

That's true machine learning.The car was memorizing in the fading desert light.
Chris Macha organizes his annual October "Kustenfahrt' (coastal drive) in Big Sur and the central Calif. wine region. This year was particularly epic as it was my first time on the holy grail of sports car roads - Calif. Hwy 229. I feel as if I am the last guy in the sports car club to enjoy this unbelievable ribbon of blacktop. Yes, it is a two lane road, but allegedly one of the least travelled highways in Calif. Its worth clicking on:
Fast forward to 2 min 50 sec. on the Youtube clip to see the treats that Chris had in store for everyone. This was day 3 on a phenomenal tour of the most scenic parts of California.
A massive thanks to Chris for his organizing this event and to the wonderful conversations and friendships that solidified at Thatcher Winery on Saturday afternoon. One of the best quotes reflecting on the 229 hwy was that "it was like being on a skiing slalom course combined with moguls".
Why am I posting this hear? At this event it became public that Patricia Mayer's Coupe had sold. Three days before this event. It was not for sale, however the buyer was persuasive, a serious long term owner and one that will keep the car in great condition. It's going to a great home in the Pacific North West.
I am extremely grateful for all of your encouragement and support in this wonderful year in returning deep into E9's. Yes, I have dabbled with other marques'. But I know where my friends are. Here. An extremely sincere "thank you'' and in the words of the Terminator......''I'll be back".
Paul, I am a new comer here and just came across your thread - truly amazing reporting and gorgeous final product. Wow, as everyone has said! The very first entry actually caught my eye as I recently purchased my 74 CS and addressing all of its deficiencies. I have unconnected wires that I believe connect to the key buzzer, which was not present but I have been able to source here on the Forum - but how to wire it?! You noted that yours was still connected - do you recall how it was wired and by any chance have any photos of it?!Tomorrow morning the new owners of Patricia Mayer's coupe take delivery. The car is ready after ticking all the minor stuff of the final punch list. The car comes with a full complement of documentation, tools and literature. I kept dragging stuff out of the attic, until it filled the dining room table. This is what the car will come with for supporting documentation. Thought you would enjoy.
