More Pics from FFO

[markpink]

My son and I survived our first FFO that including 9 hours each way from New Hampshire to Valley Forge. Our big claim to fame for the weekend was winning 5 of the raffle prizes in an amazing display of luck that has never appeared before when I am in Las Vegas.

I have a lot of pictures that I posted here:

My son took video of the highlights of the trip down and back and at the car shows. I will post that in a few days.

These are unedited photos, most with no descriptions.

Nice car you have there and great pics! There was a nice display this year. I know I won't be going to another without one of mine though.

Craig,

Free beer is the best kind! And besides, at least I turned you on to a better brand than what we were drinking:)

Good point,John!! It must have been kickin' beer too,because Denise(who had several) didnt remember that I didnt go to the banquet...or that I took her and her 4 kids to dinner,or that I drove her Suburban because she was way too tipsy!
Craig

[mdrburchette]

Good grief, Craig! I don't recall having a beer...did I? You could just chalk my lack of memory to having 4 kids with me.

[ga.spyder]

UH-HUH!!

[kristoj]

I'd say she was probably just a we bit past being tipsy

Sounds like I missed the really good action Saturday night I'd have liked to see that

Hi Peter,
Jersey guys are making a run to the Barnegat light house and brunch at Mustache Bills. Care to join us? It's only a short drive to NJ. Was great to meet some of the people we talk to on the web. Had a great time at the Freak Out. Can't wait for the next one. George

BTW. Great pictures

[kilrwail]

Thanks George - I enjoyed meeting you too. I voted for your car but I guess it wasn't enough

I was actually planning to be down at NJMP on Sep 12, but I'll have to cancel. I have a new motor in the Porsche but it won't be broken in enough by then to allow me to push it on the track. Maybe next year! Have a great drive to the lighthouse - I spent some time there as a kid around 1960, at Ship Bottom, with friends from Trention. Lots of good memories there.
