Awesome!  The cars look like they made it just fine!  4.gif

Is that Buzz on the far left?  New roof rack?

Great to see them all lined up.  Was great to meet Dave and Don as they came through the Dallas area.  Hopefully the weather is a little warmer down there for the week. 
I am the GR8KORNHOLIO! Are you threatening me?

Wish I could have been joining you guys.  Willie_B will be through this afternoon and I will be sending along the drive routes with him.

Yep, that's Buzz......same roof rack, cleaned painted and improved by Justin. I never ran it tho, I preferred the "clean" look...

Justin killed a few big bugs on the way down....

Today, once the sun came out this afternoon we took the cars to a nearby carwash to get the roadgrime off, then we headed out for a quick run up into the hills - a test run if nothing ese. Happy to report all cars did fine, no bent, broken, overheated or other problems at all! WillieB should be rolling in anytime now and tomorrow we'll head out on our first real run.....

Weather promises to be beautiful all the rest of the week.

We both left ours on, too much trouble to take it off for just a few days......

WillieB rolled in just after I posted that, he's down at the car wash right now getting his not a wide load cleaned up, he drove it to dinner too.

Yours didn't stick out as far as his.  Found the rattle in my car.  The plastic/rubber u-joint coupler on my car is banging the exhaust.  Think it's due to my subframe not being aligned as Bruce noticed at cars and coffee I don't have the tower bolts.  They are currently on order and hopefully will get here asap. 

Love the pics, keep them coming.

Wish I could have been there to share the roads with you guys.

Sadly, I had to put my mom on hospice level care today.

The tears are hard.


MPlayle

These tears are even harder - she passed away this evening.  I was able to be with her as she went.


John Gervais

I'm very sorry to hear this, but knowing that you cared, tried and were there with her throughout surely meant a lot to her.  My condolences.

Pictures look great guys, keep them coming as I'm riding with you in my thoughts.
