Grandsports' view of the Ohio Show

[grandsport]

Well,this was the first major show that I have attended and it was great putting the faces together with the names from both sites. It was a very relaxing weekend for me with perfect weather and lots of great cars and all the talking I did didn't make me a dime.:p I stayed out of trouble,of course I didn't go looking for it.;) My thanks to the Grumpys and the Flashes,for making this a special 2 days!:)

[Ms Grumpy]

A part of who we are, is the people that we surround ourselves with.

I consider myself a very lucky lady because this weekend I was able to surround myself with people who are some of the most special people anyone would ever want to meet.


John and Joan, what can I say...These two just ooze southern hospitality. The moment you meet them, they make you feel like a part of their family. I don't think that anyone does not know, or love these two. After a 6600 mile trek across many states, they pulled in with a smile on their face and were more than willing to do anything that the Ohio Chevelle Club needed them to do. I am blessed to have met you and to consider both of you my friends.

Gary, to think that we might not have had the opportunity to meet, I don't want to think about it. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to sit and talk about your wonderful wife and to see the light in your eyes when you talk about your daughter, just confirmed what I knew all along, you are a special man. We are so fortunate to have you be a part of our family.

This has been a wonderful experience, and I don't want it to end. But, we all have to get back to our daily lives. And I will always remember what a wonderful time I had this weekend.

Thank you..

PS. Just got a text from my brother Eric (Rick), he and the car have made it home safe and sound. David and I will be heading out tomorrow morning.

And on Saturday he was wearing a Polo shirt.

Don't the used car salesman have a bad comb over as well?

We made sure we had a barber waiting when he got there. Took care of that before anyone saw him.

[grandsport]

Hey,I got awesome hair,if I do say so myself.:)

[Ms Grumpy]

Yes you do........

[flash]

Guys ,not much I can add yet ,Im still tired from the trip home. I loved meeting you all ,even Gary. Just kidding Gary. The Ohio guys put on one hell of a show ,they deserve all the credit. We volunteer to help as they have always made us feel like family, now yall are part of the family. My only regret was not getting to spend more time with you. We love you guys.

[grumpy]

What a weekend it was ! We are still recovering here.

[grandsport]

Like I said before,I was dissappointed to get home.

[Ms Grumpy]

It is always disappointing to get home after such a wonderful time. But I am so glad that I have the memories. At least for a little while.

[grandsport]

I can't remember all that much.:p

[Ms Grumpy]

I can't remember all that much.:p

I don't know how we managed it,

but we actually made it home with 1 beer left in the cooler.

That is unbelievable !

[grandsport]

How did I let that slip through the cracks?:beer:

[Ms Grumpy]

That is the 7th wonder of the world.

[Derek69SS]

It was nice meeting all of you, I just wish I had more time to chat... kids kept me busy all weekend. :)

[Ms Grumpy]

That is totally understandable Derek.

[flash]

I just got the car unpacked and back in her parking spot . She needs a good cleaning again ,maybe this weekend .No more long trips for about 6 weeks ,but then we go to Mississippi for Cruisin the Coast for a whole week. Its a tough life but Im willing to be the one to do it .

[grandsport]

You should run for office John. You love to travel,you can get money off of people,and you really don't work all that much.:p

[grandsport]

2 Days and I'm about half way done with the mess that was left for me.:mad:

[Ms Grumpy]

That sounds like some used car salesmen, doesn't it?

[grandsport]

That sounds like some used car salesmen, doesn't it?

And the owner,who is the worst of all.

[flash]

Would ya'll vote for me?? Surely I couldn't be any worse than what we've already got. I have the non working part down.

[Ms Grumpy]

You definately have the driving part down.

[grandsport]

And you can get people to give you money!

[flash]

I do like to travel but I dont like to lie to people so no public office for me. I would be glad to road test all Chevelleforum members cars just to make sure they are safe for you to drive.

Any time you want, just bring it back in one piece. :D

[grandsport]

Aren't you brave! The only person who has ever driven my car beside me was my daughters fiancee. The look on his face was priceless when I threw him the keys.:)

[flash]

Gary, I think I need to take him (black chevelle) for a ride to make sure it is safe .Maybe when you bring it to Chevellabration next year ? You are coming next year arent you? If you liked Ohio you will love CB11.

[grandsport]

Next year is too far away to think about,but you never know.....

[grumpy]

I cannot wait for next year. Anyone know next years dates ?

[Ms Grumpy]

Hopefully next year will fall about the same time. Cause now we are getting ready for the Woodward Dream Cruise week. Hey flash, you should just hop in the car and come up here, as far as miles, it is just a few compared to what you just drove.

[grandsport]

uh... 2011? :D

Mike,only one resident smart ass allowed here.Waving

[Hank70SS]

uh... 2011? :D

I think you're right. Starts on January 1st, at least that's what I heard, I don't know about that kind of stuff.

[flash]

I guess I have to leave since Gary just said only one resident smartass was allowed. Bye guys ,its been fun. Call me if you miss me.

[Hank70SS]

Does that mean I'm out too? Where are we going to John? Is there a smartass forum we can join?

[flash]

I dont know ,if you find us a place let me know..

[grandsport]

Flash 'n Hank,sorry you are not smartasses in my book.I have heard no complaints about you 2,everybody likes Flash'n Hank.:ntwrthy:

[Hank70SS]

Apparently they don't know us, or least me, very well.

[flash]

Im definately a smartass and according to some a PECKERHEAD.I am president of PECKERHEADS CAR CLUB . One of my best friends and traveling buddies was my VP until his recent death .Now I am all alone in the club as we were the only members.

[grandsport]

I hate when birds land on my head.:mad:

The NOCC guys said that it will have to be a week earlier or later as there is a hockey tournament already sceduled for the same weekend next year. They have the place booked for both and are pondering which will work better.

[flash]

Whichever week they pick I will be there.

[Ms Grumpy]

Mike are you talking about the Chevelle show in Wayne?
