Re: Mav

He was a character.  When you met the guy he acted like he knew you his whole life and he loved to talk.  Once you got him started, he would talk until it was time to get the truck out for another show.  I'm glad to see he is stll around.  The pics are from the 40th Hemi Anniversary and that is one of 3 or 4 or 5 trucks he had.  He was quite a legend from about 1960 or so on, for years.  You met Mav, so you were friends for life.  When you asked if he wanted help he didn' turn you down.  Mav was really something and I'm glad we both got to meet him.  The truck and the guy behind the truck are two different things.

I helped work on this truck (or one of them) years ago at the Mopars @ Englishtown. He was making exhibition runs and blew the trans on the first run. A buddy of mine knew him and we happened to walk into the pits as they brought it back. His pit crew had bailed on him that day, so he was by himself. Aaron asked him if he need a hand, and net thing I knew, My buddy's and I are in the bed of the LRW unbolting the 727 from this HUGE HEMI, and helping him hoist it out and swap it.

VERY cool!!!
