My pics from the get together

Be patient - using new photo editing software... (have to say Microsoft Digital Image is crap)

First & Second Pic is the Dallas group's redevous at Carl's

Third & Fourth Pic - caravan in action

Fifth - hungry travelers at Woody's

I guess I'll slap a few pics up here, but they are far less in quality to the above. The first 2 are pics of "Bodyart27's" engine compartment(I'm sorry, I don't remember your name). The largest display of anality I've ever seen, and I love that kind of thing! Looks brand new in person. I wandered across the parking lot and closed my hood after seeing that.......

first 3 pics are a view from far end of parking area. Kind of a "left, middle, right" view.

more (love that last pic!)
Wagons were certainly under-represented! Dave from the Woodlands was the only other wagon. If I remember he is "Chasing the Sun" or something like that. I enjoyed lunch with my table mates. We didn't have the prettiest cars there, but at least we made it there and back.....

Looks like you guys had a good showing and a good time overall. Great to see pictures of these summer get-togethers.

Want more wagons?

Next GTG I'll prod Passion Flower to life, get my extended family together and drive all the functional articles to the bash.

"Looks brand new in person. I wandered across the parking lot and closed my hood after seeing that......."

And to think, I nearly parked right next to him!
(My SD is the same color and year as his.)

Did anyone get a post of TX76513's SDL and his engine bay? Both of these guys put on the shine.

Bill,
Show up in your TDI and we would have given you the "Drives a car that uses an ignition process and injectors similar to the diesels in Mercedes-Benz™ and is also manufactured in Germany" award.

Thanks Randy but i would have felt out of place. I'm looking for a nice ML to replace the TDI soon; i need seats that are a bit higher off the ground now. Used M class trucks are really a bargain right now.
