    I only got to spend one day at the roundup, and boy was it worth it! :bowdown:
    I left at 6am this morning and got back at 11:50pm on the dot. I had such a great time meeting everyone, it really made me fall in love with the car again. I got lots of video clips that I'll try and get together in a downloadable bit later, it'll take a while the way things are going.

    I've got to get some sleep as I'm working at 6am, but I just wanted to share my inital thoughts with everyone.

    I envy you man. :) Glad you got to go, wish I could but it's kind of a trade-off as I finally got to see my car this weekend.

    Can't wait to see the vids!

    Bruce it was great meeting you and Rachel. I too only got to spend one day this year, and it was well worth it. I got to meet a whole bunch of new faces and see some familiar ones again. Man, Rick Book is old:rofl2:, John Chandler is square, and Mike looks just like Travis Tritt.

    As usual John Ford did an awesomw job putting on the Round Up and deserves a big hand:clap: , gotta alotta love for ya man, don't hurt my parts:D , you either Becky.

    Hotrodaddy & Don Gramh, Thanks for making those trips.

    Crazy Canuck, thanks for the beer.

    John and Barry for sharing their winnings at the cruise in and blowing $100 on eeryone, I've never seen "free beer" be shouted make so many people leave so fast.

    And of course there is the Somerset bunch, John-Aaron hasn't quit asking if Santa is going to bring him something if he is good, I told him he has to good to find out, now he wants to know if we can go visit Santa, Tim?

    The list goes on and on, and I don't mean to leave anyone out. I was happy to meet you all and spend what little time I had with you. Hoefully we see each other again year. Ward

    PS Ask Dennis to see the fender skirts on the Spint:D
    And Matt I got to drive Marks car:p Thanks Mark
