Great Cruise & Show in Georgia!!!!!!

WOW! The First Annual Fall Cruise and Show for the Georgia Maverickers was great. We had 20 (including family) meet for barbeque. We had a total of seven Mavericks to show up. Great people, great cars, and great food.

We got to meet a newbie, John Ferguson (aubman2) and his son, who came down from Anderson, SC. (Note to Rick Porter - he likes us Georgia guys and gals.) Mike's friend, Olin, joined us and brought his Mustang II that has an engine with a bit of a crackle.

After a great lunch at Fresh air BBQ, all the Mavericks lined up and cruised up the road about six miles to the City of Jackson courthouse square. All the cars parked around the square, by the court house and in front of stores. It made for great photo opps. We all gathered around a statue dedicated to war heroes and made pictures. Here's a link to soundless video of seven Mavericks coming up the road:

Next, all the cars followed Earl up the highway about 15 miles to the Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove, GA for their last car show of the year. It was great to see seven Mavericks lined up together at a car show. Ralph Price (Greengrabber) met us at the show and it was nice to put a face to his postings. He's a great guy and works for Mustangs Unlimited.

James Edwards got to change a tire and that was story itself. I'll let someone else tell that one. I did take pictures of that little event, including Frank helping.

Here's a photo album of pictures I took today. They are in order of the happenings. You will see that James likes to eat barbecue.

very cool looks like everybody had fun

 

That is awesome.

 

Thanks to Terry for putting together such a great day for us all. Olin ,Sonny ,and myself had alot of fun. We just got home (its 12:45 am). Thanks to all for making us feel welcome even though we brought along a Mustang ,and a Mustang II.

 

Whew ... I just got home too ... Thanks Terry for handling the logistics ....

 

Had a great time today with everyone and glad that the 72' was running well enough to make it down there.

 

Man I'm tellin' you what, I had a blast!! Met Ralph, John and his son, James, Mike's son and Wayne for the first time today. I had a blast just hanging out and talking to everyone.

The car show was great. John and his son headed out first, and Terry, Wayne and Frank left later in the evening. Earl, Ralph, myself, Dan, James, Mike and Sonny stuck around until after the show was over and went over to Denny's to eat. After we were through we hung out in the parking lot for about an hour just talking about stuff in general. We all eventually rolled out of the Tanger parking lot at about 11:30 tonight! I just walked in the door a few minutes ago.

Huge thanks to Terry for arranging this. We really had a great time. As if it wasn't said enough already today, we really gotta do this more often!

 

Had a great time even though I arrived late, wish I could have spent the whole day. Nice to meet everyone. Great photos of the day Terry!

I had a great time yesterday and last night. Good food, great company and a cool car show. Thanks to Terry for all the hard work. And as Jamie said, we gotta do this more often! Thanks again, Terry!

 

'Looks like a great time was had by all!

Thanks for sharing the pics and vid.

I'm glad it was a successful event (even though I believe I saw a pic of someone
holding their nuts in their hands ).

 

I checked to see if the BBQ place had "Fish flavored tater tots" Rick but they said you had to go "up North" to find those!

 

I appreciate all the accolades, but Frank deserves some applause. He met me at Fresh Air back in Spetember and we rode around one Saturday afternoon looking at different venues. Othe than that it was a just a phone call or two.

I spoke with Phil today and he is looking forward to accomnodating us on Saturday, December 16 for our Christmas Party Breakfast. The only thing he said was that he stops cookng breakfast at 11:00 AM. I think the 9:30 time we discussed last night will be fine. I'll do up a flyer and post it soon with all the details, including the address of the restaurant (so you can Google or Mapquest directions).

I appreciate everybody's attendance yesterday. We all love Mavericks, but it is about the people and we have a great bunch.
