Default Ecklers Reunion Pix

The Jacksonville gang made the trek south again. The weather was great and so were the cars. The event could really use more vendors, imho, but it still was enjoyable.

Stuzvette was looking great and some of the pics I took show why it does. I left before Stuart met the second judge so I don't know how he finally made out. The first judge deducted no points, so that was a good start.

Here is a link to my Ecklers picture gallery at SmugMug:

I've never dont this before, so I hope the link works. You can view the pix in various sizes (the originals are pretty big) and download any that you wish to.

I really hope the owner of that car is NOT a Forum member.
That was bizarre... a shrine to the big O.

Thanks. I tried to post them as soon as I got home instead of waiting six weeks or so, like usual! Sorry I didn't get to meet you - maybe next year.

Thanks, Vaughn, nice meeting you, too. Did you guys run up the coast and grab a bite? I figured I'd go right home and post the pics.

Cool PIXS Bill, I love Ernie's light show He kept tapping his brakes all the way home trying to show them off. Had a great day as usual. I would like to see Ecklers start pushing a bigger show, notice they were not even doing exhaust systems. What gives?? Still enjoyed the great rides though.

The group left after lunch at Dixie Crossroads. I went back for about an hour before heading north. Anyone know how Stu did?
