Nice pics....looks like a great time
I'll be honest and say that I have a lot of problems driving so slow in the US. In England, the motorways are narrower and the speed limit is 70mph - everyone drove at 90mph. Autobahn in Germany=no speed limit.

But there are a couple of differences, I will freely admit. On the Autobahn, everyone drives on the right unless overtaking. Drivers in the US haven't mastered that simple concept yet - so I'm keping my Exocet missiles for them

The other difference is there are a LOT more accidents (per capita) in England than than here. Much has to do with narrower roads plus inattentive and maniac drivers. So it's not better - just different.

So... driving under 75mph in either my 4banger daily driver or Grond is still a problem for me My V1 has saved my behind more times than I can shake a stick at. Well, 6.5 years and no speeding tickets (knock on wood) so far.

However, cannot figure out the one that includes the Airstream trailer

Looking forward to the remainder of your pictures
Airstreams are, for me, a piece of classic Americana. They are still new to me and I get excited everytime I see one Hence the picture.

Hi EG -

Thanks for the picures - you folks who were kind enough to post pictures are really helping me out, since I was unable to attend this years "fastivities" due to a business obligation in Denver.

If you are interested, I found a cool application (freeware) that will enable you to publish nicely formatted picture pages - and it will automatically resize large images etc -

It is called JAlbum -

Here is a link -

http://jalbum.net/

And here is an example of one of the pages I published using this helper app -

http://www.iammoon.com//c5tech/fobs/

best regards -

I have JAlbum, thanks. I knocked this website up very quickly from my Mac with iPhoto 4. This is a raw export.

As time permits I will clean it up and relay it out.

My other websites have JAlbum formatted pictures

Try using the search features of this forum. Also, I replied to your questions in a previous post "Ragnar, King of Vikings" and I saw no need to respond to your email.

Also, there is never a good reason to be rude to anyone. That just shows a lack of class. There are other methods to attaining knowledge.

Hi EG, just wanted to let you know that I swapped out my 3 1/2's and 6 1/2's and the stock stereo sounds ALOT better, not perfect like you said but 100% better. Thanks for the advice.
Also, I found that the FATMAT had somewhat of a tar smell so I had to send it back and went with the HUSHMAT. More expensive but no smell. I guess 1 for 2 is not bad... Thanks Again.
(class comes in all heights, HIGH and LOW)

Good to hear about the speakers and sorry about the FatMat. When I spoke to them on the phone they assured me that it was exactly the same as DynaMat Extreme (which does not have any smell).

Oh well, live and learn. Glad it all worked out for you. Are you coming to Carlisle, PA in Aug?

EG
