Hi Don,

It does sound like fun... I'll talk to Patti. A few of the Ranger guys I used to hang out with are from Leominster. Maybe I can get them to go too!

Well it was a pretty exciting day at the car show today..

Thanks Fords8 for posting this... Maybe we can make it a chapter GTG event next year..

It was nice that we got to meet Jim and his wife Patti.. To bad we couldn't spend more time chatting..

I really liked the event.. Many trucks to be seen and a few strange vehicles to boot.

I will post the pictures later

Yeah, Don's right - it was a great show! More cars and trucks than I expected to see. It was nice meeting Don's 3 generations too! I got a few shots also - forgive me that some of the shots are duplicates of Don's, just different angles. It would make a nice GTG for the group next year!

Now that's a STANCE!

Studebaker...

Can't you just picture this one with a "STILL" in the back?

Yeah, it's a 4X4... nicely done!

Yeah, I know - I am a Ford guy, but I always liked this year Chevy/GMC!

Who says "Harley Edition" has only been available recently?

Nice pics Jim..

I see most of the people started leaving about noon..

I was beat by then and got a sunburn...

I was able to pick up the shop manuals for my truck.. The 06 Super Duty manuals, but the guy didn't have the wiring diagrams so I got the other 2 for $60..

Blue Ford pickup off to the right (1st truck on the right) in this pic is what I drove to get there.

EDIT: Glad you enjoyed it! This event is good most years.
