I will be there if the temp is under a 100F

Well you did keep the temp under 100 (barely). Thanks for working on Saturday and having us over. I always enjoy meeting new car people.

I hear there are two cool Volvo 122s making the trek—one is Jerry Sira's absolutely mint light blue 1967, and the other is Chris Short's modified '68. Both are bitchin'!

We should have the Berkeley there in fresh paint as well as the Saab, TR3, mini, MINI and more!

Was that you in the office today? Sorry we had to cut out, but the Berzerkeley needed some re-assembly before the open house.

Just a friendly reminder that the weekend is approaching by the minute. We even have some door prizes. (Well, it's crap we found while cleaning up the place.)

That was me. If I hadn't been trying to beat the weather to Tampa ( your hail hurts!) I would have offered to gopher tools at the least. Oh, and Pers MINI looks like my friends new Flex was washed with hot water and then dryed on high. Nice seeing those that were there though. Maybe the Bezerkely could make the UTCC?

We're hoppin on a boat with her parents from Tucson. Wife's aunt lives in Gainesville so we're all meeting there for Sat/Sun and then Monday morning heading down to Port Canaveral.... I was hoping to talk them into letting me come visit Ground Zero on Sunday but didn;t think that people might have lives away from work! lol.... Friday morning it's the mad dash home to pack up and be at Grissom for the NT. I'm impound chief so I need to be there.

Had a great time. Had a guy who questioned if he could fit in a Z3 Coupe. I opened the door and let him see. That's one of the cool things about these type of events, car people having fun. Great office by the way!

Thanks

Yeah, that was fun. The rain came in quicker than expected, but we still had a good time. Thanks to those who came.

Also, I was talking to someone about their fiberglass Mini. Here's the link to the one at the Lane museum: http://lanemotormuseum.org/collection/195-austin-mini-fiberglass-1969
