Pavillions? Went to a car guy party instead!

[Xplantdad]

Our family was invited to Ed Montini's house for a "Car-B-Que"...

If Ed didn't live so FAR away from me...I would have brought the Chevelle...but that's okay http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It was nice to meet all the wives of the car guys as well!

There were some cool rides at the party. You should recognize most of them... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

BTW...Ed...thanks for the great food, the good times and the great hospitality! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

It was a very nice turnout for the first show on short notice. I like to thank Bruce and family and Fred K and Mike G for making the trip down south to the ponderosa!

Big thanks to Sam for helping out getting this off the ground and setting everything up.

Looks like it should be an annual thing, especialy for our fellow muscle car enthusiast that are snow birds here in AZ.

Thanks again for everyone that attended and making it a nice day with the families and cars!

PS, Sam and I estimated today (after a few remaining beers left over from the night before) that we had about $1.6M worth of beautiful cars on the property.

[m22mike]

Very cool get together Ed.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Now that would be a party worth crashing http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
