The highlight was, of course, the Exner-Event
with Stutz Meet.
Thanks to Jim Milliken I was able to attend, even
better, I drove 5000km with his 1981
Blackhawk.
The Meet was great!
It was wonderful to see all the Stutz-, and Exner-Fans.
To see the Exner
Bugatti, and the Mercer
Cobra was a dream!!!
In addition to that, I saw the Studebaker-Museum,
and the Duesenberg-Museum, very impressive
(and soon there will be some websites for these Museums...)
The Homepage was moved to a new server, so I have
more webspace :o)

of Exner Event", adding a list of Stutzes for the Stutz
Meet 2007

and the other cars of the Bortz Collection,
BUT: these cars were replaced by the phantastic Exner
Bugatti, and Exner Mercer
Cobra!!!
Wow! One of my dreams will come true, to see these
cars...
