Total bill for 3 lunches < $26.00

Good time, some good laughs, old stories of driving their Ford GTs on the back roads of the West to meet up with some crazy pathologist named Pickle? (Suspect my mis spelling and it should be the famous, Dr. Pikul !) Who apparently lives in one state and works in another. Living the dream! I believe he has shaved his "Kirby Vierra" moustache, at least from reports he doesn't have it anymore.

Cheers, guys, a great afternoon. Nice to have a break from work where no one knows where you are!

[RALPHIE]

Let's do it again- :thumbsup

 

[AtomicGT]

We should add the Side Door Mammoth Lakes evenings and dining to the calendar!

 

[Ed Sims]

Geez - Ralphie & Jeff are everywhere! You must live in your cars! I have almost 30,000 miles on my GT &, compared to you two, it's hardly broken in.

I'm jealous I did not get an opportunity to join you guys.
Glad to see your smiling faces and know you all were together.

 

[PL510*Jeff]

Kevin - was a spur of the moment idea. Eric had a rare bit of time off, Ralphie was in between treatments and I didn't have a golf game. The stars aligned and the sun was shinning. And boo hoo all of out GT;s were in the garage at home. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again, soon.

It would be great to see you for more than the few miuntes in the rain like last time at Kendall's.

Jeff

[AtomicGT]

Chip,

Assuming that this means you will be landing at the Chino Airport and dining with us?

Atomic,

Yes, Chino is only about an hour away.

Chino is where we have been looking at the L39s also... there are several really neat ones for sale there... need to get Chip certified in one of those :banana

 

[AtomicGT]

Chino is only an hour away for myself also, in the Yukon. Nice turnout today, 8 GT members, one airplane, one GT500, no FGTs. Good food, nice to meet and see everyone. This is becoming a monthly event.

Images to follow.

 

[Shelby#18]

Hope to make one of these events. Midweek is sure not easy.

 

[Apollo]

It sure was great to see everyone. I think Chip was last to leave, had furthest to travel, and first back home... :eek
:biggrin

 

[HHGT]

Great company...:thumbsup:thumbsup

Chip is always squeezing the Blondes!

 

[fjpikul]

Unless I'm mistaken, you guys are standing WAY to close to Ralphie.

 

[AtomicGT]

Ralphie is enjoying his time in LA. Has been sporting a moustache of late. Says it reminds him of a famous mid-western physician??? I think he is a good replacement for the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" , n'est pas?

Something about that moustache that reminds me of..........?
