Well, the wife and i are still going. Staying over friday night at the apollo, we might even extend and stay another night, but i havent decided about that yet. Little spendy if we do that, but we'll see. Weather is looking better. Lets hope saturday is still working doin...

Strange. They said it would rain today but it's just cloudy so far. Does that mean we are not going to have rain tomorrow either?

I am packing right now and will be @ Wildwood, NJ tomorrow as planned. See you there. - Brian

Already sitting at the hotel. Weather looks nice. No rain. Little bit of cloud cover. Nice breeze blowing... almost tempted to throw up a kite right now and just mess around...

ragden,

I just came back from shopping. Burgers, hotdogs, water, soda, and some chips. I am grilling rain or shine

I am leaving early tomorrow, plan to arrive at around 8 am. See you there. - Brian

Am leaving the city around 9am! Will be there around 1 i reckon! Look forward to putting some faces to the names!!

Just wanted to take a moment to say that i had a freaking blast out there today (saturday), wish i could have stayed another day, but hotel fees are a bit steep out there. It was awesome to see so many folks on the beach cruisin in the wind. Special thanks to Don and leebrianh. Don for the pointers, and lee for all the good eats. It was amazing. Thanks!!

Thank you all for coming despite rain forecast. Buggy enthusiasts like you guys made the event worth to have.

Folks, we were super lucky not to have rain. My girlfriend even got some sun burn :tumble:

I will try to gather some pictures and post some here later.

Thank you again guys!!!! I had awesome time!!!!

I have some picture and video clips already put together in a .rar file. If anyone wants it, just drop me a u2u.

Awesome time! Great people, great food, crappy wind, but obviously the first 2 over ride the later. Can't belive the turn out!

Some great photos too! I feel famous!

I agree,,, it was great. Excelent time.... We have to do it again soon.....I want to thank everyone who helped out.... Especially Brian, Don and Jesse,, and all the others who pitched in when we got together. If anyone has video they could get me,, I would like to put together a video with music... My camera crapped out on me that day. Lens was smeered up...............

It a long way from the boardwalk to the water; wha wha watch out for the tram car pleaease!.........aj

hey aj
very funny. hows it going????? whats your life like these days.
i didn`t go to the WW bash. i had my car packed but woke up to a lite rain. so i went back to bed. now i see the pictures and they had some sunshine. anyway i used the time to work on my 30 chevy which i`m bringing to a car show in PA next week. no i won`t be driving it there. i`m trailing it.
we had a local car show last week in the parking lot of a home depot.
i took first place for the oldest stock car there. alot of old people wanted to sit in my car for pictures. of course i let them and i had to listen to countless stories about how thier father, grandfather, drove the same car back in the day.
