Joe, did any of your pics turn out? That sun was blaring yesterday.
I got some useful stuff but the sun was way harsh(I needed a neutral density filter, but dont have one)

I hope you all see why I dont do summer things, as do the rest of my car clubs, too damn hot

pics are uploading

Dang it!! I had a neutral density filter in the car. I would have loaned it to you. I had the circular polarizer on the camera but had it at the wrong angle. Most of mine washed out as the result.

My departure conditions (even after knowing that the Shuttle launch had been scrubbed)...



A brilliant specimen...



Hip001 and his Lady (Ladies if you include the W126) headin' out...



Note the popped sunroof to purge accumulated greenhouse heat. No doubt that the A/C is going full blast.

I'm sad I missed this, but I really needed to get my AC fixed. Hopefully we can put this on repeat in August.

Looks like a good time guys.

^Well Tyler is coming down hopefully in early August, so we're trying to do a get together then. I'm all for a winter GTG, but don't let winter fool you, it can still get pretty hot.

Plus, aren't you in Texas?

I've got a slip-n-slide I can bring. If not, a garden hose will do.

But yes, we definitely need to have a gathering. I'd like to meet Pierre too, even if he won't really like what I did to Norm

A garden hose won't do much good without a place to put it.

When Pierre comes over to see Norm we'll just shut the hood
