Hi
Terry.
I too drove "Golden" but
to the Louisville meet in fall of '01. John was driving our car. It
had disc brakes by then but as I recall, the stopping wasn't all that much
better than any other 300 with good drums. By the way, when John was
still driving Golden while following me through the mountains of western
Maryland, I was doing my usual and driving too fast so John got pulled by a
local trooper for speeding. Picture a gold Chrysler 300 G sporting
New York plates speeding through Md. Think John stuck out from the
crowd? Anyway, I pulled over too when I saw John get
pulled in my rear view mirror. Though we were speeding pretty
good, turns out that all the cop really wanted was to get a close look at
Golden. John was really happy, saying that this was the first time that he
didn't get a ticket. I think I took over driving Golden the rest of the
way to the meet right there
on I-70w.
...............................................
Golden was a 999 code as
per the micro film and Gil signed off on the gold color and the primer in
2000. Earlier, we had scoped it out closely with a flashlight
while on the trailer in our driveway while John was resting before heading
off to Long Is. He was on his way back home after buying it. He
never hit Long Is. before midnight. Why does anyone even remotely want to
live in "The City" [metro]???
Is our 2 cents
worth...
