    Just got back and wanted to say that I had a great time. Even without my car I had a blast. Thanks to all those who put this on and all those who provided some much needed parts. I had a great time chatting with all of you and found that everyone was super friendly. It was nice to put some faces to the screen names and hope to make it back with my car next time.

    Had an awesome time. Was great to finally put faces to names. Everyone was super friendly. Wife & I had a wonderful time. Was great to be back home. Things sure have changed in 20+ years. Was fun cruising Telegraph Rd after the car show. Can't wait to be able to go again. Was great to make new friends. Thanks to all that were involved in putting on this event. That will be a hard act to follow...

    Sunday morning in the hotel. Getting ready to go down for breakfast. Yes, it was great meeting all the new faces, as well as the old faces. The Michigan folks sure know how to roll out the hospitality.

    I will post more pictures in the gallery when I get home.

    Quite the event. Well planned and well executed. Had a wonderful time. Big thanks to the Michigan team for raising the bar. Really nice crowd and cars. Got to meet some long unmet people and make new live in person friendships. And as always, wonderful to see the incredible friends I have made and continue to make. See ya next year, God willing.

    Really glad we could bring out "Clifford" to hang out with Mavericks and Comets this year. Turns out I still remember some of the stuff I used to know about these cars......
    Now I am all recharged to get working on a project.....now which of these 7 should we give attention to......
    Thanks to all that made the Roundup possible,
    Sarah

    Yup Sarah you know alot about Mavericks for sure. Sarah won the Maverick trivia quiz. The Roundup does give you inspiration to get out and work on the car.

    Thanks to everyone responsible for putting on such a great event. Spookie and I made it back home safe and sound after a 9 hour drive getting 22 mpg. Not bad for a 40 year old close to stock v8. Dennis and I left at 2:40 am and I am still winding down from an action packed week. I miss everyone!!!

    Had fun doing the Telegraph cruise. Got on I-96 to head to my brothers & blew the header gasket on the passenger side. Very embarassing having a loud exhaust leak. Stopped @ O'Reilly's on the way home ordered a new set. Came in this afternoon. Had it replaced in an hour. Ready for my trip back to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The only other problem so far was a transmission leak. The upper coolant line on the tran worked loose. Just had to tighten it & add more fluid. Glad the problems have been little ones & cheap to fix.
