    Bob's place is cooler than you could describe.

    Thanks for the great photos to capture the feel of his very impressive collection.

    Bob is great guy who is always willing to help other car guys!

    Thanks for sharing the photos. Wellington is a great little town.

    I don't know what's in the water up there, but everyone I met was very friendly. The manager of the Ritz theater took time to show my wife and I through the whole thing.

    Besides Bob's place the old buildings in the town are very cool. I don't know if you saw it or not, but the old gas station that's a block north and west of the theater makes for some great shots.

    Great photos, what a rad place. I love old parts boxes and the like. Walking through old shops and parts stores is always a blast.

    Thanks!

    I love "The Mayor" and W so much I bought stock.

    Seriously, The Owens Family is Family and I look forward to every visit. Which is about 2-3 times a month.

    Mike, Great work as always. I'm hoping the DeLozier truck made it into your viewfinder. :)

    Mike, i'm not just saying this because you're one of my best pals and the fact that you know who Robert Johnson is, but you are one of the BEST photographers out there . Period ! And any automotive publishers that are reading this need to give this guy more work. Your magazines will improve significantly !
