. July 2010 Seattle MCA Show, Northwest Get Together Part Two

[aemoo28]

Going to pick up Franklinair in an hour at the airport.

Went to the racetrack in Kent this morning and watch JBart get 'teched' and 'numbered' and 'oriented'.

We found StigMrtr from Stangnation there with his white & black Jedi looking super charged '08 CS. And then Randy with his 07 Redfire CS, AND a mysterious dark blue CS with black stripes. (Who are you?)

To be continued...

Well, I am safely up here in the Seattle area Had a great flight and I am at my niece's house in Tacoma. We went to Pike Place Market this morning and stopped at the original Starbuck's for a "much needed" cup of coffee!!

Amy, I'll call you later and touch bases with you, or you can call me if you get some time. You have my number...

See everyone on Saturday

 

[Sarge]

I have made it up from Sacramento, and it is a beautiful night here in Bellevue!!! Temps were ~ 106 when I left Folsom. The cool air feels great!!!

Amy, I will be out front of Silver Cloud lobby just before 9 am. Thanks for the lift to Rob's. See you all tomorrow.

...BIG Ditto to that all around David! "PonyGal" called me from the hotel lobby yesterday afternoon. The noise in the background was intense, festive and warm. After a brief, but equally intense description of the incredible cars and all the people arriving, she handed the phone to Neil who's commanding and fatherly voice solidified the magic!

When Renee returned, it was; ..."OhMyGawd - I just met "limelyt", "Northern Pony", MountiePony", "Deadstang" and "JBART"'s car is so awesome!...Amy is such a kick!...and, and "HighcountryBob"....These people are SO amazing!...I gotta' get a glass of wine!!"" then <click>...off the radar, she went...

A follow-up call late last night nearly brought me to tears with all the wonderful stories (until the phone batteries died;-) of real people united by a "Special" website....and the magic is only beginning!

 

[Sarge]

Ok, just got back from the BBQ at Rob's lake house, and he smokes a MEAN brisket! I think there was only about 4-5 pounds of the 30 that he made. Rob and Val were most accomodating hosts, and have a cool cabin right on the lake. We did go out on the boat, and take a couple of laps around the lake, and then everyone got ready for the big show tomorrow. Lots of good GT/CS folks as one would expect, and enjoyed immensely meeting all the folks I had only heard or read about. Plenty of pics taken, we will post as able. More to come tomorrow!

A BIG THANK YOU to Rob and Val for a fantastic time. Excellent food and great people. What a great way to spend a Sat. afternoon. It was also a real pleasure to talk long distance to Tim (Midnight Special).
More to come after today's show.

Friday night at XXX Rootbeer Drive In

So here we have Bob (hicountrybob), Neil & Peggy (franklinair), and Jbart in the background. We met for dinner after the Ride N Drive at the racetrack.

HOW do I post videos on here?? Ever been so scared you cannot scream? I have passenger footage in the Super CS on the track. It's not like you are alone doing 140mph. You are with 4 other cars at least, all riding on top of each other at the speed of light.

The second photo is everyone on the ferry, coming back from that famous BBQ.

 

[calspcl]

MMMMmmmmmmm awesome brisket!

Yes, it was a great time/eats at Robs and Vals, we could not stay for the duration and team photos, but attached a couple that I was able to take. It was great to meet everyone and put a face to the internet names, great group of people. Missed the show on Sunday, we didnt get out of port Hadlock till 11, wish I could have met the rest of the group. Sounds like overall it was a great turn out in the pacific northwest!

[PonyGal]

Words cannot describe how wonderful this past weekend was for me!! It was so great to meet all of the CS.Com members that were in Seattle as well as all the different people from Canada. It really was a fun bunch!! Amy, you are the best!!! Thank you for arranging all of this!! We all had a blast!!!!!

The BBQ at Rob's was awesome!! I can still taste that amazing brisket!!! Rob and Val were great hosts and it was really nice to take a short cruise around the lake. However, Rob did forget to tell us that there was a SHARK in the water!!!! I got proof... Check out the picture! It is a bit fuzzy because I had to snap it so quickly before the shark sank back into the depths of the lake :wink:

Anyway, here are a few pictures... More about the show itself later.

P.S. Tim, we ALL missed you!!! It was great to talk to you on the phone though. Thanks for letting me "pass you around" for everyone to talk to!! Still, we wish you were there!!!

Renne drives the 08 GT/CS

Unofficial count for Sunday show is 1700 Mustangs. Have you ever heard of so many Mustangs in one place?

Renee drove my 08 GT/CS to the show so I could have both cars there Sunday... Thank you Renee!! And to JB for helping me return the cars home post show.

 

[aemoo28]

I have someone's cell phone!

Or rather, Satan was hiding it in her trunk. That car! Bad Satan! Hiding a phone like that!

Today, yes, 3 days after the show, I was finally getting things out of both Mustangs when I found someone's cell phone. Thought it may be JBart's but he's already texted me so not his...

It's a Motorolla. ID it and I'll send it to you... or drive it to you...
