Yes... you may be correct.... Sometimes i thinks its more like the Millennium-Falcon on Starwars fast and fun... but always working on her:-)

Minus 1 more.

My brother bailed. Apparently the lure of a double time Saturday shift was too much for him to resist.

On the plus side, he will have more money for mods!

Great turnout today. 14 plus cars (I hope the problem with Steve's car is not too costly). Nice to see the new faces today, I hope you all had a good time.

Forgot to mention, Ray joined in the cruise being chauffeured by Louie (Thanks for letting Ray tag along) and thanks to Mark 1 for lunch.

That was a lot of fun. Sorry we had to bail at the 14 as I would have loved to have gone to lunch with you guys. Maybe next month. Also thanks for putting it together.

There's the money shot, thanks. Nice meeting you and your son. Hope you can make it out to another GTG, which is normally the second Saturday of the month (this month was an exception).

Loved seeing such a clean engine compartment. I believe you were the first C4 to run with us in a while. Thanks for coming, and hope to see you again.
