Not sure who this is but I waved and passed them on my way home, 300 miles from Solvang.

Great show, quite a good turnout.
Highlights:
All the beautiful cars, liked the wood grill!
Meeting new people- Bob2 from Arkansas, Skyman and his wife from Utah, DatsunDave from Canada.
Seeing others circulating- Shannon, Michael, Garm, RCMike, Alvin, Ruth and Michael, the Admiral.
Fun to sign the fender on Scott (Fish) Fisher's car ("Take 1, do it again") and read the other funny stuff.
And also a hug from Paul Gabriel (heyAce). Now that's a good looking man! LOL

I was very glad I finally attended. It was great to meet so many members I have only known online through this forum. For some reason it didn't seem like meeting strangers. I met most members I wanted to meet, some others I did not expect to meet, and some I did not get a chance to meet. A special thanks to Dave Premo, Alvin, Dave from Canada, Linda, Kevin D, Mike A (RCMike), Stan, Greg, Mike Young, The Dickson Clan, Jeff Torres, MSmethers and so many others. It was cool to see Bob2's black 67.5 2000, and all the amazing swaps. I did not meet Ted, Garm, Michael (Spriso) Ron Carter, and a few others. I guess I'll need to make it back sometime. :mrgreen:

I will say, it really was a pleasure meeting everyone, and I can't thank everyone enough for your fellowship and friendship, and look forward to the next time we can all talk roadsters in person. My Wife was impressed with our little group, and really enjoyed her time. Especially with Alvin's cute Daughter. I think she wanted to take her home.

We ended up driving 1793 miles. Didn't have one issue and the car ran great. Didn't use any coolant or oil. Drove with the top down from Cedar City, Utah the whole time, and ended up putting the top up in Cedar City, Utah on the way back! Temps were around 40F. I will see if I have any different pictures other then what has been posted, and post in the other thread. Thanks again everyone!

I always found it amazing that you can go to Solvang, basically be within a 150 ft radius of everyone there for a day and a half and still not run into everyone you meant to.
Glad Bob and Dave made it.
I was in a downpour driving the 66 to a show in Hershey Pa. Friday night wishing I was there with all of you eating pizza.
Side note, Marty's 66 1600 won 1st in the Japanese class over a bunch of NSX's and GTR's.

Well, it was strangely quiet around Svendsgaards without Brisco there!
