glad you made it dave, the Lv turned out really well. looking forward to seeing you at snt.

if we had trophies for "best in show" and stuff like that then you would have won. but that's why i set up the raffle the way i do. i'm sure you needed the mud flaps more than a trophy, right?!:cool:
 
Thanks again G. We had a great time. You guys really know how to throw one hell of a party. The hospitality was fantastic and I felt like one of the crew. We are definately in for next year!! It means a lot when people you have never met treat you like one of your own. For those who haven't gone before I highly reccomend you go. Even if you don't have a 45.

Mr and Mrs GreenFox the dessert was awesome!

Thanks for the mud flaps and sticker FoxFab.

Joe and Paula thanks for the roasted pork!!! It was amazing!!!!!!


It took us about 16 hours to get home with a few pit stops. The 45 ran great! I have over 450 photos, but need to have georg sift through them for his TT article before I post a bunch. I will add a few highlight ones though.

Thanks again! See some of you at Surf and Turf...

Rodney, how else can I say this. you ARE the biggest big spoon!;p Definitely worth your weight in ......... tequila!:cheers:

It's GREAT to see someone else join the ranks of those not afraid to DRIVE vintage iron across country! Look forward to seeing you again at SNT. Mucho thanks for the t-shirt.

Georg, this run gives new meaning to the phrase 'third time is a charm!' Definitely one for the books! Had a blast, and it was cool getting to lead a run of ALL 45s! My only regret was that Dave was at the other end of the line. I would have LOVED to see the LV gettin it on the trail. The only thing more incredible than how nice that rig looks is the fact that Dave is willing to wheel it too! I hope SOMEBODY got some shots of that beauty in action.

Joe and Paula, OUTSTANDING meal and company once again! From the looks on your faces, I KNOW you had as good of a time being with us as we did with you! MUCHO THANKS for the grub and all the other portugese hospitality!

KT and Gail, you've got to come clean on the smoking pillow story! No one's ever gonna believe that muffler crap!;p Folks, that is one HOT couple!

John and Sue Pardi, thanks for putting me up at your place on such short notice! BTW, there aren't anywhere near as many toys in the kid's bedroom as there are in the workshop! Which is how it should be! Get that 25 DONE!

GravelMaker: super cool to meet such a down-to-earth cruiserhead. I'm gonna have to find some way to promote some of your stuff on my website. Looking forward to more adventures with you.

Michael [sine80] You know I'm gonna rub it in on Ian that ALL of your beer survived long enough for ME TO DRINK IT!:cheers: I'll remember that when I get around to building your carb.;p

Kent, glad I got to see you with the whole familia this time. Thanks for donating the cruiser beer glasses that I won at the raffle. I didn't waste any time breaking them in!:bounce:

Ryan, how COULD you forget the guitar? D'oh! Oh that's right....you're RYAN! P.S. you're kinda funny when you're wasted!
 
Here is what you see when you wake up in the morning...simply stunning

You 45 guys sure throw one heck of a shindig...

Thanks Georg & all the vendors (the cooler will come in useful) for a great raffle.

Cool pics. Thanks for posting. I dig those ass shots. Cool to see so many 45s hanging out together.

Did someone bring a 75 series pickup?

BRING 'EM ON!!!

Those of us that could not be there can live vicariously through them. And I'll be there next year. That's a threat...I mean a promise.

Regarding your friend with the 70s...are they registered in the US? I love those things. If I had to pick an all time favorie Cruiser, it just might be the 75 Troopie. Love them.
 
I just wanted to thank Georg for putting on this run, this was by far the best 45 run thus far. This was my son Matthews first 45 run and he had a blast, he's looking foward to next year.
I'd also like to thank 65swb45 (Mark) for all of the entertainment at the camp fire, we had a blast.
Last but not least I'd like to thank Bull (Rodney) and Kelly for supplying the FJ45 shirts he did a great job on them. He and his girlfriend were great to camp with and made my son feel right at home.

Thanks for the great time Georg!

And thanks to Georg, Ryan, Mike and Dan for stopping on the way up to Jackson for the 45 with its hood-up. It was refreshing to have some actually stop to help.

Since I seemed to have too many problems this trip..I also owe thanks to Paul for helping me get the front axel back square on the spring (sheared pin) and Mark fro the loaner chain to get the axel tied down for the trip home.

Thanks Again to everyone!
