Here are a few more. No GTG is complete without some awards. John Roncallo won the "Most Modified" award with Samson the V12 SL, and Stefan snagged the "Farthest Distance Traveled" award, having driven from Ontario, Canada. Mistress was so excited to win the People's Choice Award. You made her day!

And a good time was had by all . . .

Thanks for posting the pics, all! Unfortunately it's as close as some of us are going to get in the foreseeable future.

(Whose idea was it to have all of these kids!?!?

)

One of these years...

Good looking turn out...maybe someday I'll get my W114 running well enough for the trip.

Aaron Sheen points out mods to his SEC380, and Mistress stands in shocked awe before John Roncallo's souped up 107.

Sorry we were late getting there, but we had a great time, Chad and Raquel. Thanks again for all of your hard work and hosting another terrific GTG,

Just to set the record straight

It's Kelley (not that it's ever been misspelt before! and..... ramonajim's adult beverage was water.

While we're setting records straight... look closely - I know I did a double take:

That is NOT my hand on Darling Wife's boob!!!! I do know how to behave in public - and even do sometimes!

Wardrobe malfunction?

Next year I stay for the good stuff.

So many of my favourite people under the same roof(tent)!
Sorry I could not attend, I ran short of time with all the preparations for the trip... and two days shy of becoming an illegal alien, I had to cross the border VERY soon!

Ha ha ha, Jim KellEy. I knew you were imbibing adult water, but didn't want to go into too detailed an explanations and risk losing whatever tiny comedic flow I was trying to get going. I, too, did a double take on whose hands were where in that picture. I didn't even notice how it looked at the time I took that.

Yeah, Jim, right after this one was taken, everybody got naked and began dancing around the yard!

You were deeply missed, but are forgiven sir. Safe journeys!

Dee8go · #**1122** 08-22-2012, 11:41 AM

Yeah, we forgive you this time, but next year, we expect to see you there, Miguel, front and center with funny stories and lots of photos of your Pan American adventure.

Jeez, Miguel. You jumped the gun. Once you become illegal here you qualify for all of the benefits!

Shoot, according to some folks, you can even run for, be elected, and serve as PRESIDENT!

Great pics!! I wish there were more to post.

Now that everything is back to normal it's a bit sad. The tire tracks on my driveway are the only evidence left and that will be gone after the first rain.

I think I'll take Dan's advice for next year and do a big batch of BBQ pulled pork and rolls. I'll still do the veggie stuff, but the pork would save hours of time.

I'm going to get two picnic tables for next year so there will be 16 more seats with a spot to eat.

Lastly, I'll be extending my fence 2' higher for Kaspar so next year he'll be here with the need to keep the gate closed so he doesn't get out. Maybe I'll put a spring hinge on the gate so it closes itself.

Sidenote: Kaspar is hypoallergenic and very laid back.
