Tommy in Cali

It's always interesting when you meet people in person from the forum,
especially when you've had ongoing conversations for 10 years + about C Class automobiles.
You wonder what they might look like, and when you meet them, they don't look anything like you might have imagined.

I had this experience at the Rose Bowl meet back in 2007, and again tonight
when Tommy made it down to San Jose.

I had wondered what his Smufiness might look like.?

I was rather disappointed to find his appearance was pretty much as I would have imagined.
I snapped this pic as he was heading out.

Almost exactly what I had thought! Does make me wonder how he sees over the dash.

It's so obvious - I have an edition of the Smurf pages that I sit on to help me see over the dash. Oy!!
Good to meet up yesterday. The Accent is even more fun when you've had a couple. :-)

Jordan....words escape me.
Uh...don't you drive a Japanese car now?
Don't they have a forum where you can torture the members with pics of
fake Lexus's and humor that isn't funny?
