Pics from 6-30-07 Central Texas GTG

Nobody from other areas of the country ever looks at the GTG stickies, so here is a few pics from the GTG today.
The weather started out great for near-July in Texas. One thing about a month of rain is that it keeps the temps low. OK, humidity might be "up there", but you can't ask for everything......
OK, first the Dallas group met around 10:00 at Carl Jr's. We went inside and hung out until about 10:35, then it was time to head south.
Here were all these high powered MB's having to follow a slow little kitchen vegetable for most of the way. Sorry......





We the met up with the other groups [Houston, Austin, others...] at "The barbecue place". Don't remember the name, although this is the second year to meet there. {meat there? Ha...}

No pics from there.

Then it was off to Fort Boggy State Park, which is accurate based on our weather of the last month.
There were 2 prominent W116's. Armando's Mafia Mobile, and Al's Big Dog [6.9]



There were quite a few W123's, although no wagons and only one little vegetable colored 240.





The W124 was very well represented, and very close to the dominant car. A couple of coupes also. And we had a beautiful Crimson colored W124 sedan and coupe. I can't believe I didn't get a pic of them together. [you can see them in the top two pics, though]



The shade was a very handy place to hang out. That is where the smart folks stayed, and they let me stand under it also......
This is Rich and Tracy, Al and Armando.
I have no idea what Armando was doing......





Heck Don, I could have gotten you another triangle.....



Awards were given in the end. Drew, you were robbed.......



I really enjoy the GTG's. I got to yak with a good amount of folks today, and it was good.
Hopefully others will have pics to add.
