Only question remains is, what will Steve bring?

Wolfgang and Ludwig are both whispering, "take me, take me" to Eureka Springs.  I think they just want me to win 'em some new parts at the door prize drawing!

 

If you've not been, it's great fun.  If you've been, you know that already.  

 

See you there...

I hope to be attending again.  However, I'm beginning to become calloused over the "Iron Butt" award. Somebody drive farther!

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

Best Damn 02 Event around.     Now I even have Eileen hooked and we are bringing the NK out for its debut, whether it is finished or not.   I know of another NK that may be ready in time as well and will be there.    Bo we can park around the corner  :)   Am trying to round up the gang for another trek west.  

 

Jim, You earn the Iron Butt award for driving that long distance on those straight and boring roads  :)  

 

Always great to see everyone, some of the best folks around.    And Bo's 'extra day' now makes for a very relaxing weekend with great 02 enthusiasts.

 

Like Mike says, if you have been you know why, if you have not, why not come and find out?

 

PS   We need some left coasters to come in.   Heck fly into Branson and borrow one of Andy's cars   :)    Or just come and enjoy the fun.

 

See yall in April

I got that award in 2010...Bill Riblett and I were very close in mileage (his car was more comfy than my tii).

Some of the pressure is off my butt now!

There is a tech quiz, nobody can top Mike.

Whoever stays in the same "wing" that Bill R.and I stayed in for 2010 - hopefully there isn't another nutcase trying to bash in a hotel door down the hall and keeping us up all night  :o .   Thankfully, they were NOT with the BMW crowd.

Thank goodness they weren't with us. Rowdy motorcycle nuts I suppose.
