November 17th and it's 65 degrees and Sunny in Iowa! Who'd a thought that could happen! Not Us!
When Dale and I planned this meeting back in September we both figured on it being cold, rainy, snowy, icy or All Of The Above. To our delight it was NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!
We were hoping for a good turnout but we were a little surprised to find out how good it would really be! We had enough people and cars to put on a mini car show!!! Nine SC's, two LX's and one XR7. And that was with two of our members not being able to attend!
We even had a Pro-Street 440 'Cuda drive through and check us out. The highlight of the afternoon was when an unsuspecting "Ricer" wandered to close and we all started drooling uncontrollably. Our new friend Marc from Kansas, (did I mention that we had car owners from 4 states there), went over to introduce himself, and came back with a few hundred miles less rubber on the rear tires!
Everyone seamed to be having a good time and no one really wanted to leave. But a few cars had come a long way and needed to put in a few miles to get home, so as the sun sank into the west (this is starting to sound like an old western), we headed out. As a way of saying good-bye some of us lit 'em up in the parking lot as we headed for home.
One of our new friends is not only a big T-Bird fan, but is also a "great white hunter". Andy you receive our "Tuff-Luck" award this month. It seams that on his way home, Andy picked on a defenseless little dear. (Don't worry, he was uninjured and the car sustained only cosmetic damage). He was able to drive it home and his plans now include a Cervini's hood to replace the stock hood damaged by the dear.
If you missed this meeting, don't miss out on any more of the fun!!! Our next meeting will be on January 26th in Cedar Rapids at a location to be announced. I'll post it on our website as soon as we get the location set.
