Exclamation

First batch of photos here. Didn't have time to do that much photoshopping, so its all basic. I figured you guys would like to see it now rather than later.



The initial meeting spot in the middle of some random dirt field.



Traveling to the new location



Initial arrivals



Admiring the cars



Patrick's ride.



Adjusting the lineup.













Thanks for the drinks and stuff; that was pretty sweet.

GROUP SHOT:



Thanks to all who participated in the (awkward) group pic haha. Sorry about that. (Photographer in me had to do it). I promise I'll lay off next time.

Hope you guys liked em'. More coming tomorrow morning!

It was a pretty good turnout! BJs was awesome! Thanks Patrick for pulling the code for me. Also and Karo for getting us there without making a bunch of unnecessary turns. Best of all thanks BLT for the first batch of pictures now give us more! LOL!

Also about the burger place I was talking about it was located in Arizona. Link is right here. I might have a exaggerated a little bit about the calories, but you get the idea.

Always down for a meet, especially with fellow 203s!. That 203 meet before the HMS bbq a few months back was alot of fun!

But at the end of the day Driving > Parking

Here's one, but I didn't think it was as aesthetically pleasing as the others so I didn't include it. That's is more or less everyone's car though, at least for the start of the day before Karo and some others came.
