Bummer. Looks like I will be missing Celina this year. I will be out in AZ which is not all bad.

For now I am just hoping to be able to drive my Amphi come spring. As some folks know, I broke my elbow in November. Wound up with three screws in there and still do not have functional range of motion after 40 sessions of physical therapy. I was picking up an enclosed trailer when I had the mishap. My wife now refers to it as the $10,000 trailer in the backyard (she adds in the cost of the PT sessions)!

Tommy has owned enough Amphisi that if he says Corky is fast, I woould believe him. My own Amphi tends to start acting like a porpoise at higher speed in that she wants to start nose diving.

Corky will run 72 mph on the hard road. My brother followed me home from the car show in a car with a digital dash and he said we ran 72 the whole way. I gotta admit it was a wild ride that I don't want to repeat anytime soon.
Corky must be a "light" Amphicar (hence the name??) I heard Corky was once paddled across a lake late one night in Florida using just a licence plate and lighting the way was nothing more that the occasional flash from a camera.
