Default The Grond Chronicles : EG's Cruise In VII Pictures [Dialup: excruciating agony]

Here are my Cruise In VII Pictures and Videos. I will annotate them tomorrow.

First, the videos -
CajunDude's unbelieveable burnout!!!
11mb AVI video

Cruise through the KY countryside
JFTaylor doing a burnout in the Baymont carpark

Cruising up with the Florida Gang


This was at 6:45am on Wednesday


Stopped to hook up with Well Adjusted and others




Yes, you are seeing correctly. Stangkiller locked his keys in the rescue vehicle!!!!


So now the black guy and the college kid are jimmying the Surburban in Tifton, GA...


Serious help is needed to get Grond onto any transport system




Oil everywhere - though it's hard to see

Finally after almost 3 hours, got Stangkiller's Vette on the UHaul


345 rear wheels with offset outboard are too wide for UHaul...


Luckily he did not sustain any wheel damage...


Deja Vu....


On the way home




Moved Grond out of Stangkiller's garage and preparing to get his car in his garage.


FactoryRaceCar dropped by (from Missouri!!!!) and hung out with us for the rest of the day


Even though I am not a fan of non-popups, I love how his car looks !!!!

I got Grond on that ferry last year. No idea if it would have been able to get on this year.

All in all it was an excellent trip. It took us longer to get there and longer to get back than anticipated - and we now have some repairs to do - but I would not have missed Cruise In for the world.
