Phoenix Pavillions Cruise 4/23/05

[Xplantdad]

This will be an abbreviated set of pictures...we had thunderstorms and rain in our area...though it didn't stop SOME people from venturing out to cruise...It was a lightly attended event...


First shot is of three big block chevy's...what could be better? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Mockingbird812(Sam Griffith) 1969 gold Chevelle is right next to my car. In fact you can spot Sam if you look just to the left of my opened hood...his shirt is orange...

Yep....it IS Bill Pritchard! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's Bill and his wife Merilee (hopefully I remembered the right name and it's spelled right). Bill and his wife, my wife Lynn and I checked out most of the cars together.

Great people!

It was great to meet up with Bill again...and to meet his wife. It was also a pleasure to meet Sam, too! All are super people... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Unfortunately the tuner crowd is the only section that seem to know how to put on a show.

As usual, great pictures, Bruce! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Bill Pritchard]

Yes, Marilee and I had a good time (albeit abbreviated by the rain http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif ) with Bruce and Lynn. good to see Sam again, too, and glad I finally got to see his beautiful gold L78 Chevelle. Still some nice cars there despite crummy weather. Bruce and Lynn are definitely enjoying their new toy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif, it's a beauty http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Hey Bruce...who is that big guy in the white t-shirt by your car ???

[Xplantdad]

Bill, are you still here in Phoenix/Fountain Hills? I left a message on your answering machine!

Bob, I don't have a clue who that HUGE guy is in front of the Chevelle. I'm about 1/4 that tall! (5'9"). I let him think whatever he wanted to about my car! He actually had nothing but NICE things to say about it... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[mockingbird812]

Bruce,
I thot I saw you w/ a camera in your hand. Very stealthy intelligence gathering. Nice meetin' you and Lynn (and seeing Bill P. again). Your ride is sweet - the color is stunning. Have fun w/ your new "baby". See you next time.

Sam
