Nice pics Erik.

Thanks! Do you ever get thoughts of Having a 5-6 car garage instead of the workshop there? (after winning lotto, of course

)

I would love a 6 car garage with a second story for my workshop.

And enough room for a full height lift!

That would be amazing.

I might as well go for a downdraft/paint baking booth in place of one of the bays too.

Chad, thanks so much for having all of us. It was terrific and your culinary skills are right up there with your stained glass and bodywork skills! As it always seems to be, it was great to meet everybody who came. What a great bunch of folks these GTGs draw. At the risk of duplication, I'll post some of my pictures too.

I believe Richard (RML) won the award for the cleanest, lowest mileage Benz by a wide margin. Nice car, Richard!

I believe "Loudest, Meanest-Sounding Exhaust" went to Johnhef.

I'm not posistve, but I believe "Wettest Interior" went to me, with the Dee8gonator. Next project is to locate and stop all the leaks.

Powerpig would surely have left with the trophy for "Fastest SUV" with his new AMG ML55.

Chad, thanks for the fuses. It was really great going home with my brake lights and instument cluster working again!

Okay, here's my photos, there are some repeats, and mine are just of the cars, I was too busy fraternizing to take pictures of the people, oh well. I see I missed some sausage and another car after I left

as well as some more looking at the cars. Well, next time.

Wow!! You weren't kidding!

I just had a bottle. I don't know if the beer is just way high on the Alcohol % or if it's because the bottle is the size of a wine bottle, but it's VERY delicious and head toasting.

Thanks for the compliments Tom.

I'm glad I got to meet everyone finally. I'm enjoying a new dimension with the forum now that I can imagine your voices and mannerisms as I read your posts.

Repeats or duplicate photos are no problem to me. I'm interested in seeing what the GTG was like through other peoples perspectives.

Next year, I will do more food prep in advance and have chaffing dishes with sterno cans to keep things hot and ready. I want to spend more time mingling and chatting. I feel like I missed a lot.
