Saturday morning up early again to set and prep the cars for the car show itself. Our time machine was in the company of the 'Countach' Lamborghini- (which, according to my British friend and exotic car enthusiast Tom, is an Italian exclaimation of amazement - there is no literal translation but the story goes the chief engineer walked in to see the first development model being made and shouted "COUNTACH!" and the name stuck ever since!) from Cannon Ball Run, the Dumb and Dumber Lamborghini, Kit the Knight Rider car, the Munster Mobile, the Monkey Mobile, the Bat Mobile and the General Lee. Not to mention a land speeder, R2D2 and all manner of creatures and beings from Star Wars.
We met several friends who came to show their support for not only Make A Wish, but our 'ToTheFuture' mission, and inserted their donations into Mr. Compassion!The days not done. We load our car into the event hall at Sea World for display at the Dinner and Auction. A beautiful venue, fab weather great food. Entertainment with 'Prime Time' from NYC and Gilbert Godfried. An evening to remember, I’ll never be able to look at my refrigerators butter door the same way again.
