Many of these friends will be someone offering to help you push your car or offer to help you get to your hotel or even offer to help find a part for your car. That said, I want to tell you about an email I received when I got home from dinner. It is a perfect example of the kind of friendship and hospitality that is everywhere to be found in Mexico. Earlier today I posted a short blog stating that Clyde Morter and team were looking for some hard to get parts for The Lucky Taco. This email pretty much says what I am trying to explain... What can I say... there does not seem to be enough ways to show my appreciation.

The Solanas are a well known name in Mexico´s car history. They even made some sports cars of their own, I have seen some of them in auto shows here. And here in Queretaro we have an avenue that is an 8 loop. It is known as circuito Moises Solana and it was a car race track some 30 years ago.
Glad they keep their spirit!
Jorge
