Yesterday’s final stage ended in the quaint town of Tequila and they held a wonderful fiesta for us including a guy who could whistle like a bird. But even that wasn’t the highlight of the evening for Team Taxi Perdido. After the whistling stopped and the awards ceremony started, we received another 1st in class for the day! We’re very excited and very lucky. The car is running incredibly well and both Conrad and I are driving within our skill levels but also fast enough to place high in the rankings. This morning we start 11th overall. I wish you could see the grid list; it’s ten huge cars (Studebakers, Buicks, a Hudson, an Oldmobile) and then our little Taxi. Great stuff. The team is doing an awesome job of keeping us on the road and we’re lucky to have them with us. Thank you Christine, Peter and Bill!
In other great news, my iphone arrived last night. Here’s a shot of two of our three trophies. We’ve named the little guy, Paco.
He looks a little like Conrad, no?

Just watched the YouTube video from SLP to Tequila.
You guys look great, running up front with the big dogs.
Wow! Keep it safe, La Bufa is the last tricky bit. Easy on the Mescal tonight.
Congrats

Conrad/Martin and team…one of the most exciting parts of my day has been checking to see if you have updated your blog and reading with the enthusiasm of a true wanna be! It sure doesn’t look like CSRG or even Lemons down there. I will have to check out the You Tube.
Your writing has been outdone only by your performance. Congrats and keep it rolling.
