Default Upclose and personal with GROND!

Well.... I finally was able to meet EnglandGreen, Stangkiller, JeepTJ and beautiful Mrs JeepTJ today! What a bunch of great people!

I was with Chris and Stephen all day today and had a blast! Finally was able to see Grond in person Had dinner with them and lots of fun! Despite of going through all the trouble with both the cars, and in the middle of towing both cars, they both welcomed me and hung out with me and made me feel like at home

Thankyou so much guys for the company

It was my pleasure to meet all of you guys!

For those of you, who have not met Stephen and Chris, they are both a class act. Great people to hang out with and very friendly.

Well here are the pics from today

Arrived at Chris's house when he was unloading his car



Where I come from, people think and believe that my car is slammed.......WRONG! THIS is slammed

Chris's Vette unloaded sleeping safe in his garage and Grond ready to get up on the trailer



Lining Grond up



Some of Grond's underhood bling



Getting Grond up on the trailer is a Chronicle in itself

Very Nouman,

Did you take a wrong turn or something to end up all the way down there?

Hey Nouman, it was great meeting you as well. As Stephen said, sorry we weren't able to spend more time with you. And Thanks for dinner!

I will see you in a few days and take care of your suspension noises.

After you left, it took a sledge hammer just to get the trailer off the truck.

No worries about the trailer...but i think that may explain why it was fish tailing a bit more than normal.
