This event this year was better than last year. The fun that I had last year is what made me put it on again this year. You can count on a 3rd annual event next year. The members here on this site with their wifes and friends is what makes it so special. It was cool that members brougt there Dads, and friends.

 

The circle had 24 spots laid out and they were all full at one point, with a Ford Gt Car in the center point of the circle. That's 25 cars on my lawn. I think the head count was about 55 people here for the event. I think I hold the record for the most cars on a lawn at home. :happy feet:

 

Five-Oh-B has a great camera and his shots most likely almost got the entire circle in view from the top of my shop. You will have to wait for those pic's. I have 153 Pic's and they are all pretty good. I need to weed thru them, but I am too tired right now.

 

Here's the circle. We were missing a car at this point.

My 153 pic's and videos will have to wait a bit to get sorted. Tomorrow Tana, David and I are taking a road trip with Alloy Dave and his wife Terry1234 and ati (Alan) and his wife Lisa and daughter Alesha to Mount St. Helens and then a trip to the beach at the Oregon coast.

 

This might mean...more pic's. :hysterical:

 

Night all.

Hey I was out driving around with the family Saturn saving my gas money. Some of you may have seen my little brother hanging out the window taking pics with my camera. It was hard to keep up without my normal car! :fool:

Grabber: just confirming what all the others have said, a fantastic event thanks to you and your wifes efforts! Thanks so much for all the work both on-line and at the house for setting up the meet. :party2: The route that we drove was perfect and great fun to drive it with all the cool folks and their cars after not doing so for many years.

Barbie and I met all kinds of cool folks, it was great talking to all of you, thanks to everyone for such a great day. Mark.

Thanks! Just at the right place at the right time. My brother and my cousin were really excited seening all your cars together. I was driving my grandparents Saturn since I don't have to pay for the gas. It would have been much easier to keep up with my car and it's 18 psi. We were going to see the ships at the Vancouver waterfront. But rather we just took pics of the caravan of Shelby's :D No complaints from anyone in the car! I'm on many car forums with my Audi, so I figured to organize a cruise of that scale, the group must belong to one too. Just googled looking for a Shelby forum. I was surprised my brother got such great pics. He had never used my camera before. I had to drive and show him what to do. The ISO was set too high for some reason so the pics are a bit grainy.

Pics are great! Good to see an Audi fan appreciate Mustangs!

 

Our West Coast members know how to gather up and have a blast!

 

(so do our East Coast memebers! - check the Southeast forums! Nag's Head Rules!)

 

Thank your brother for us.

Chiming in myself; Rob, outstanding event! It's so cool to be able to see all of the mods everyone has chosen to make to their cars. Every one is such a personal statement. As I was discussing with a couple of different people, every time you see something new on another car, it gets the gears turning for your own car again.

 

When I took my camera out to snap the first shots, it beeped at me and said: "No memory card." AAAAAAAAAGH! I'd left in in my computer. So, I'm relying on everyone else for photos. So far so good!

QA, thanks for some great shots, and for taking the time to seek us out to let us know! Above and beyond bro, and greatly appreciated.

 

Above all else, what a cool group of people. It's fun to put faces to names, and talk things out in person, but it's just great to know what a community we really have here. Thanks to everyone for making the day one to remember.

Rob, Tana, David, and Harley - an absolute joy again! Thanks for making the PNW M&G #2 even better than the first. Shirley and I had a great time and look forward to #3, #4, #5, etc......

 

We have family at our house vacationing from Holland right now, and I'm working the balance of the holiday weekend, so it may be a couple days before I can post pics. We have a lot of pics, and the rooftop pics Grabber took with Shirley's camera almost got the whole group of cars, but I can stitch them together to make a complete pic. I also had my hard drive camcorder filming for much of the drive to the falls. I'll do some editing and compile a DVD at some point in the coming week (I'm still learning how to do that as we haven't had the camcorder very long).

 

My face is so incredibly sunburned (as you can see in one of Pam's pics above), but I can't get the smile off of it as we had such a great time. The weather was good, the food was good, the scenery was good, the cars were good, and the people are great!!!!

 

Thanks again to the Grabber crew and all who attended!

Just wanted to add our thanks as well to Rob and Tana for hosting this event. Weather couldn't have been better and the lightening show was pretty cool too at the end of day. The rain, not so much. You two put on a great event, met alot of nice people and saw some really cool cars. The caravan down was awesome, the looks and thumbs up was priceless. We even saw some bikers going northbound that gave us a thumbs up!! It was 175 miles of smiles.

 

Another fun Team Shelby event.

 

Will post more later with pics. Wait till you see the GT's stable mate. :drop:

 

Dave and Sherri

I am a car addict. It doesn't help my dad sells Hot Wheels for a living.

 

Yeah no problem. I bet the people behind me were not happy about it. I'm sure it looked funny having my brother hanging out the window taking pics.

 

QA - awesome shots! We had no idea we'd ever see the pics you guys took as you drove past us. That is so cool of you to do!

It's funny how the internet works and how easy it is to find a group of Shelby owners in the PNW! I had to share the pics! :D

 

 

Audi's Rock! :superhero:

Mustangs rock too! I've been thinking about selling my Audi so I can buy this 91 LX 5.0
