I didn't say you were.

Like I said, the person who continued on the Sterling meet is no longer in our club. If someone else wants to step up and lead the Sterling group again in the future, then he or she should do so.

Sorry to sound so harsh, but I heard a couple whines at Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 Skyline, and I'm getting a bit tired of it.

Don't worry about the whiners. No one can please everybody. Participation in the group cruise is voluntary. They can always choose to cruise to Front Royal on their own.

Keep up the good work!

BTW, I'm about to offer up a burning ricer sacrifice to the great Sun Gods. The weather forecast doesn't look good and "Sunshine" (my vert) doesn't do thunderboomers!

Thunderboomers.... Will the rain cause your car to melt? Will the paint run when wet?

It's not a GTO... She will work in the rain.

Dan, Mike and I had moved last summer so we didn't set up the meeting place in Sterling last year. I think alot of the Leesburg people went Route 7 to 340 last year. Sorry you were there by yourself. See you guys/gals on Saturday.

Anne that's ok I deserve no apoligies from you. I had tried to keep it going last year and posted on it. So no biggie, I'm a big boy and don't have to drive in formation.

Did anyone else see the corvette from New Hampshire (I think) going the wrong way on 211 from Brookside?

We definately had a fun time today. We left after the 2nd group stop before Big Meadows, the little lady was worn out so I had to get her home.

Here are the few pictures I took today.

Hats off to Jim for another outstanding job!

Cool pic's

I did see the Vette go the wrong way past THREE "do not enter" signs - That was INSANE!!! We waited to hear a crash, thankfully there was none

Nap time - I am worn out!

The Vette from New Hampshire went less than 50 feet the wrong way!

He turned right at the crossover road and then headed west on the "right side of the road"

Seeya soon again
