You mean that Miura belonged to someone here ? Arrgh !!!!!! My dream car.... Arrgh !!!!

[csx289]

If I had Charley's money I'd own it

For now I am perfectly content driving my crappy 65 GT350 with the Paxton on it around here. Even if the seat belts are "too small" for some members that have ridden in it

I do love that damn Miura, reminds me of my old Eddie Lawson KZ1000! Will be at RM to see if their Miura S is any good. Mark knows they are few and far between...the search continues

Jim, as most restaurants in the Phoenix area are of the chain variety (nothing wrong with that, per se, just not very original), perhaps you might be interested in trying out a few local specials.

For steak, I'd try Durant's. It's on Central Ave near downtown, and is easy to get to from where you're staying. It's been there since 1950, I believe, which for Phoenix is quite old. It has that great 50's Rat Pack vibe to it and the food is good. http://phoenix.about.com/od/phoenixsteak/gr/durants.htm

For Italian, definitely try Pizzeria Bianco. Also located downtown. It was voted by one food magazine as the best pizza in the US. Living in NYC (so I think I have a decent comparison), I can say it is quite good. Chris brings in water from NYC to make the dough (it makes a difference, believe it or not), makes his own mozzarella, and usues all organic tomatoes. Make sure to get the tomato, basil and mozzarella appetizer. http://www.pizzeriabianco.com/

For Mexican, there's a bunch of places, but since I've stuck with the downtown area, I'll recommend Los Dos Molinos in South Phoenix. http://www.losdosmolinosaz.com/

I'll actually be back in AZ from Friday on restoring my 442 at my parents house, so if you want to swing by, feel free. Haha.

I concur with 68tom. Los Dos Malinos has taken alot of spice out of their recipes but still good. Add Rosa's mexican at university and mesa drive in mesa arizona if you want the best hole in the wall fish and shrimp tacos in north america. everything else is good also but I always have at least one taco.

can't wait! I think this is my 10th consecutive year...........always fun and good to see old friends.

Doesn't look like you're gonna throw another shrimp on the barby today huh Ken We got the same crap down here

[Bill Pritchard]

We were off to a good start at Pavillions this evening.....Sam was in attendance with that awesome 62 Savoy, Colin (nice to meet you!) was there with a very bright lime green foreign exotic (I think it was a Lamborghini ), and by virtue of arriving late (3:30 pm), I got to park the Chevelle somewhere approaching the New Mexico border. Also caught a brief glimpse of Charley in my wanderings there. Definitely a packed house, but still not as crowded as it will be next Sat nite. Sorry, didn't bring a camera so no pictures....with that many people looking, pictures are too much work anyway

[Xplantdad]

Nice to talk to you today Ken! I just got home form Supercross...pictures to follow some time next week when I have the time!

Sorry that I missed Pavillions...but this was kinda fun as well!

Hey Bill - boy, I didn't even see that transaction with the '67 Muira happen. Mark M (Dreemz) drove in with the lime green (Muira green) Lambo and you are saying Colin now owns it!!!!! JK! Really, that prodigously sleek s*x on wheels is Dreemz ride. A transversely mounted 12 cylinder that has the sweetest growl. Arguably one of the 1st super cars!!!

Great to visit with you Bill. Your wonderful '69 is looking peachy and the latest photos you received from the original owner are the icing on the cake. Bill received at least one offer to buy his incredible Chevelle from a serious Canadian Collector.
