    wow this is the first time I have seen a flyer. cool. we will go to the shop first and check on that stuff. which it may be sort of a rainforest adventure cause the roof leaks a bit. and then swing by my casa to check on stuff in my new shop there. and prolly have some pre superbowl eats. and tackle football in the snow. and yes if I score I will be doing the "icky shuffle". always watch your back in the 815. drew

    Sorry I haven't checked in here to see what anyone was saying. First, No registration just bring enough cash to buy some breakfast at the OCB. Hopefully "Cool Stuff" is able to make it and will filming. If we play football at Drews I think it's mandatory to sing the superbowl shuffle before the "icky shuffle".

    See everyone there, dress warm.

    We'l be there, Timmy P and I just shoveled out a path in the snow back to the shed and got the old ford out, she's ready. Hope you guys don't mind but we have windows and an occasional heater, no radio just engine noise to listen to.

    That was a good time and fun to have the car out and about. Someone stopped me at a light and asked what was going on. I told them we were just driving around for fun. They asked what if someone hits us and we were crazy. But that all the cars were kick ass.

    There were alot of cars. Probably about 25 and about 40-50 people.

    Here are some pics from the cruise.

    Thanks to the Bare Bones, Bobby and Brian, and Drew and his family for putting it together.

    Here's a few of the pics;

    the salt is nothing compared to bonneville last year. i bet driving through the lake at the end of the road was the equivalent to 10 chicago winters, maybe more. looks like a good turnout. thanks for the pics.
