[geemann51]

Whewww! What a blast, for all the work and effort that goes into getting something like this done, was it ever worth it! It was great to meet alot of you for the first time. My apologies if I was on the go and didn't have a chance to chat longer or finish our conversation.

Thanks to all that came out I had a wonderful time. Each and everyone of you were the perfect guest. I tried to get alot of pics, but didn't get as many as I hoped, here's what I did get....

Oh by the way, we have a few left items (ie.cel phones, etc.) give me a call at 619-454-5950 and we'll get the lost items back to the righful owners.

[Big A]

That would be considered a major car show in my neck of the woods.

I love the icicle lights on the house... that's funny. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[FONZI]

MR & MRS G-MAN,

[wingnutz]

You've Been there since April and still can't put a car in the Garage...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[SLAMIT]

Man I am soo bummed out. My buddy's girlfriend has her birthday yesterday and we ended up i LA and didnt make it back in time. I sure hope you guys can do this again very soon. I promise next time I'll be there. Glad you all had a great time.
SLAMIT
Gregg call me soon we'll have a beer or two. I just stocked my fridge.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Looks like an awesome time was had by all. Great to be able to put faces to some west coast HAMBers names. Thanks for sharing. Someone promised me hot tub photos http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[geemann51]

Denise, it didn't happen, it was a blustery 45-55 degrees out, much to cold for us left-coasters. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Yup, next weekend, the dreaded garage sale http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Getting closer everyday.........

[=mike=]

I could post pictures from one of MY hot tub parties , but I think they might not pass the PG-13 rating of the good 'ol H.A.M.B. not only that but they are extremly off topic , not car related stuff http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[CharlieLed]

An awesome time was had by all. Gregg and family did an OUTSTANDING job of pulling this all together, the food was great and the hospitality second to none!
I don't know how long we San Diego HAMBers have been trying to get something pulled together so we were all real happy to have the Geemann pull it off. It was especially good to see folks come down from Santa Monica and the LA area...
Sorry to disappoint you Denise, but we have been in the middle of a cold snap this week, it barely got above 60 yesterday so no one was braving the hot tub... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Don't believe everything raaf says, no show car growing in my garage...although I am getting just a bit carried away with the polishing... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

I guess we do things alittle different in the frigid north. We actually hot tub when it's cold outside. Nothing better then pitter-pattering thru snow to get to the hot tub, cold air on your face yet your body is toasty warm in the water. Oh yeah, don't forget the ski cap for the top of your head. I'm begining to think the guy in SoCal are wuzzies??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gifhttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
60 degrees, please..... pass me the sunscreen and a cold drink. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

=Mike= if they aren't appropiate for the young eyes on the HAMB you could always send them to my email http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[fab32]

Denise, The west coast just doesn't have a clue. The neighbor here always stays with the hot tub longer than me but I usually stick it out until at least 15-20 degrees before I close it for the winter. If it had an enclosure around it I'd never close it.

Frank

[seldom scene]

Hey Denise, to scrape a little wussie off of us ,it isn't a traditional hot tub, but a part of Greg's swimming pool, I don't think we know each other well enough and some of us don't drink enough to wanna appear on the world wide web shivering and shrunken. A good time was had by all anyway.

[Django]

Actually I was there electronically, as I called Fastsporty while he was partying you guys. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Told him to say "hi". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[purple]

<font color="purple"> As I was scanning down, I spotted the Datsun in the bacground. Thanks for the full pic at the end. Looks like he does autocross or road racing with it


Denise, I hottubbed once in the freezing cold. It was Febuary at midnight, was about 30 degrees out. The bad part was getting out. We were skinnydipping, so it was obvious the effects of cold air....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif </font>

[geemann51]

I know there were more than just my camera snapin' up the pics, anyone? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gifSorry to be impatient......

Further apologies to FLYING CLUTCHMAN for botch'n his name.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[flying clutchman]

how could you geeman, after i brought you tamales. cant believe it. tisk tisk tisk. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[=mike=]

okay , I can still taste those tamales . . . we need to talk . Also Gregg we left our bowl over there , the wooden one with the guacamole in it . if you are having a garage sale , let me know when and we will try to make it and in turn get the steemer crate and the bowl . Thanks again for an epic good time .

[geemann51]

Diego, I feel like an idiot. I'll blame it on the cerveza. Mike, I sent you a PM outlining my devilish plan in returning the bowl and getting you the trunk. I think we are going to have a sale on Sat, but I could drop the stuff off anytime. Let me nkow what you want to do, if you do come by during my sale, perhaps you could fill that trunk up with some more useless stuff.

You did better than Bob and Amy though, they left there blankey, baby wipes and Bob's phone http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[raaf]

gregg,

you having a garage sale sat? lemme know, i'd like to come check it out. dibs on the ford. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

ok, so i was really lazy on saturday and didn't take many pics. those that i did take pretty much suck - but the cars are cool...
