    It's always a pleasure to see Rolf's coupe. Lots of beautiful hotrods.

    Awesome pics guys. Wish there was some video of this event.

    Boones, your coverage is sublime as always man!

    Looks like an awesome time! We are lucky if we can get six cars together for any type of cruising down here in Florida. Maybe it's time to move?

    Glad to share the shots. Told KustomBuick he needed to cut the roof off so I could just stand up in the back seat to take the shots rather then out the window. kinda tough to do that when he is swerving as I take the pictures..

    had a great time, outstanding rides... good to see some old friends.

    You mean he's done it to you too?



    Seriously, it was one of the best days I can remember. Great people, great cars, great country.....great day!

    Boones, thanks for posting the pictures. I'm sorry that I didn't make more time to catch up on things. I had to say that to a few people as this run brought out people that I had not had contact with for years in some cases.

    Looks like way too much fun for all. Great cars great people, except JustDug. He's been trying to get a rumble going with the canucks for a long time now.
    That Duck must have a big feather fuzzy pussy or Marshall wouldn't be the only Guy around it. He's REALLY NASTY. BEET called Me Sunday morning and asked Me if He went.
    I didnt go but I told Him well sure Ya did. This moving stuff is way more than I ever expected. Pissed I missed it will go for sure next year. FEDER

    "hi Mom,gotta go""watch the kids?"

    thanks for the pictures,

    I tried to make it but, spent the whole weekend under the car instead of in it...

    next year for sure.
     
  15. The Swindler's Poker Run is the best, purest, take-that-shit-out-and-drive-the-wheels-off-it event I have ever known of.

    Southern California has nothing on us. Nothing. OK, maybe a little more sunshine, better boob jobs, a few less serial killers, and less people on the news humping animals, but that's it.

    Haha, that's him alright ^. Had a great time, very orginized for that many cars. I bet it probably tripped all those bikers out, you could smell leather before hitting some of those small towns. I took a 1 minute video through chuckanut, but I don't know how to use this new camera yet. Thanks SWINDLERS, my favorite event of the year!

  23. Eric, I'll get you a poster from last year and this year too. I'm currently in Texas working hurricane duty, but I'll get on it as soon as I get back.

    thanks.
     
  24. Thanks for all the kind words fellas. We tried to streamline things a bit this year with a new exciting route, the Poker hand Cards, having lunch catered. I think it worked pretty well.

    Thanks to everyone who attended, we had a great bunch of cars and people this year.

    Thanks to everybody that showed up, It was a great time and the best year ever! It seems like the less we plan the better it gets, So next year were not going to do any planning at all, It should be great. I was a little tired from staying up till 3:00 a.m. helping oldsmopile with his shoebox, So I am sorry if I didnt ge a chance to talk to everybody. I am glad everyone had a good time and we will see ya next year. Thanks again.
