For years he has been a man of mystery, knowledge and urban legends. He has been called the most interesting man in the world.

He has owned (and destroyed) more B and D bodies by the time he was 20, than most of us will in a lifetime. He also lived to tell about it. He also runs the Roadmaster website, now he is one of us!

Well at WagonFest 2012 he was unmasked! And what does he do; he walks right in, and takes the first trophy.

I thought Tim snarfed up all the trophies...Glad to see some one else getting some love!
Mr. Buick was the first person I bought parts off the ISSF from in 2007. (set of used injectors for $40 right after I paid $175 for one new one!) THey are still wrapped up in newspaper in the garage.

I enjoyed meeting Cory. Seems like a great guy. Did not get much time to talk as I left early.

Well thank you Tom. I didn't realize I was a legend. I knew I was rather infamous, but didn't realize I have reached "Legendary" status. Very Happy

The trophy was for "Longest Travel" to WagonFest. I traveled about 600 miles there, 600 miles back. I put about 200 miles on the car while I was there. Total, I put over 1,400 miles on the car in 4 days. Good thing I changed the oil a few days before I left. I have never racked up that many miles in such a short time frame. The car is about to turn over 260,000 miles. On a factory, unrebuilt engine, tranny, and rear.

I had a really good time. I'm disappointed with myself, for not getting to the show sooner, and chatting with more members. I met a bunch of great people, and saw a bunch of Frickin' awesome wagons. If I needed any confirmation that I'm a wagon nut job for life, this was it. Once we have the date set for next year, I'm booking my hotel. Smile

I enjoyed meeting another member who has a car/ parts hording "problem" that is on par with mine. Buying all those parts from me, made my trip possible. Thank you for that, David.

I've been told I'm taller on the internet(Bewber...). Now that I have found a new place that feels more like home, I plan on spending more time here.

35,000 square feet is the size of a wallmart! The place isn't quite that big, but I have actually seen a place almost that big, packed with Nash, Hudson, and AMC products. That was madness. Our building is around 7,200 square feet, or roughly 35 car. With the way it was sectioned off before he bought it, the place fits about 25 cars, and then has rooms packed with parts/ random stuff. We call it Magnum Force. Very Happy

We must watch it. This is too much fame for someone so young.
It may go to his head and ruin his attitude for a normal life.
