Hey Zorlac... Karen and I had a blast, and it was really good to meet you and your uncle. We met several great folks that day and checked out many really nice cars. Hope you got a good run in!

My fiance and I were there along with her sister and some friends and we all had a blast. It was a great day and a very well organized event. My hat is off to Jeff and all the folks down there involved.
