    So, I followed through and went to Fantasy Junction and Canepa. Both wonderful in different ways. Met Bruce and we chatted for a while - he was very generous with his time. They gave me the full tour. The 73s is very special. Too rich for me probably with the project I have but a very very nice car. I love what Bruce is doing with restoring the 959's. $2.1m for a concourse restored 959 actually feels like a deal!

    Thanks for the great recommendations.

    SF was once a great place to visit. I haven't been in years. About a year ago I met a doctor who practices there. She and her husband bought a "river house" here in VA. (very popular)

    She said I probably wouldn't like what SF has turned into since I'd been there.
    Tom, good recognition of an east bay treasure, Tower of Power. I’ve seen them at least a dozen time over the past few decades. They play at a few smaller venues in San Diego annually and I go whenever I can. Oakland funk at its best!

    You bet!

    Listening to CB Since 1969! Mick Gillette (RIP) jumped to TOP. My first live concert. They led off for J Geils. J. Geils was good but TOP blew the roof off the place! Still love the work on "Waiting for Columbus", especially Spanish Moon!
