Grabber Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 2009 Pacific NW Meet & Greet (3rd annual) This years event had a total of 50 cars that attended. We had about 120 people attend the event. All the people were great and the variety of cars was outstanding. Here is my photo journal. First off this is what 50 cars looks like parked on my lawn. My camera does not have a big wide angle so this is what it looks like when all 3 photos are stitched together. Click on it for the full size effect. This short video from my shop roof gives you a great idea what 50 cars on ½ acre looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 At 8am my son and 07 Cobra and his son Terry helped me set up the tables and chairs and get the tower speakers out in the yard and ice on the drinks. 07 Cobra (Chuck) had all the cool Pacific NW T-Shirts on a table ready to hand out to the members. Special thanks to his wifey for all the hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 We hung out and had some coffee and muffins and then the cars started showing up. I personally showed each one where to park. My bull horn came in handy to communicate to the members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 08vaporGT500 drove 1188 miles from Palm Springs CA. He had his front end taped up to prevent rock chips. We pitched in and helped him clean up his car as soon as he arrived. Here is a video of his arrival and some pic’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
