A Major Major Major Major
Thank you to
DeepBlueGXP and Critterman
For driving me around for hours in search of a Parts for the truck.

We started at 7:30 am and finally got the replacement steering and back to the mod meet around 2pm.

I also want to thank Dark Tech, JimmyBaja and SA for the mechanical help.  If i forgot anyone that helped with the tear down while i was not there i am sorry.  That pitman arm TRE was a BeeeeeOTCH but we got it!  Heat trumps all

I had a blast.    Thanks to Joe and Dee to opening up their home and being the best hosts.
It was great seeing old friends and putting names to faces.   Can't wait for the next one

I got home about 9:45  No problems  ran OK


Thanks ALL  for the warm Welcome , and was Glad to see everybody again . I think the only person I didn't see to say good-by to was Wartie sorry for missing you. Got to meet sunnygator and his wife , it took a Mods Meet to do it and he lives about 8 miles from me.

 Tell John ( Hyper Viper ) That Our PT Cruiser Club will be at Vera's White Sands Restaurant Next Saturday Sept.8,2012 . If anybody wants to see some Dressed up PT Cruisers we will be there about Noon till maybe 3:00. I'll be there with mine . When is Kelu going Back?

                    Update Our above Cruise is Canceled
VERA'S it seems they are having one of their events on saturday, so they based on our last experience they probably will not be taking reservations  

 Maybe Later in the year.

Thank you SOOOO much to the Bartons (apart from the forum post photo, DBG!) - a much more relaxed and more social time this year, which was nice. 

Special thanks to DDM Dave for the alignment (and Ivy for the hands&knees help :) )- it really made a SIGNIFICANT difference and the car now has much better on-center feel.  I was actually really surprised!  A separate thread to come on this I think...

Great work by GJ on supervising the newbie Romanian (er, good luck, Karen!).  Much kudos to JimmyBaja for going above and beyond on ellf's wayward truck.  I'm sure the chiropractic and muscle-tear medical bills are on their way. Heheh.

Great to see old and new faces, and drool over 1KulSol's corvette motor.  Sigh.  Love and kisses to all...

Finally, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Joe and Dee!  What wonderful people to let the hoards descend on them and tear up their house at such a time.  Hope you have many more (anniversaries AND mod meets :))

What is the weather like down there right now?
Did it hold out all night.
Starting around 10pm up here it got nasty and has been a torrential downpour since.

Thanks so much to Joe and Dee for being crazy enough to host this event year after year!  This one was a lot of fun!  Pretty laid back and just a good old time!

Thanks to GJ, Wartie, SA, Joe and everyone else who helped fix the key FOB's, use a BFH on the fenders, and paint my wheels.

Thanks to my cooking crew - MoFo, The SunnyGators, and all the grill masters!  Hope everyone enjoyed it!

Will definitely do again!  Some of you guys just crack me up! ;)  :lol:

Happy Anivisery Joe and Dee!!  Hope you enjoyed spending it with us!!!!

Thank You Joe and Dee for having this event!!!! This has been a tough summer with just a few bright spots, by far this was the brightest one so far. It was great to meet everyone and put faces with names.
 Thanks to Dave and Ivy for the tune improvements and the HP Tuners "class". Thanks also to GJ for hosting the Saturday night round table, that was hilarious!!!!!
One more thanks to Diana for taking the lead on the way home!!!!! BTW I will be there a little earlier next year!!! :D
