Current Schedule is:

8:30 - Frank V
10:00 - Rory ( not on Rennlist yet)
11:30 - Martti
1:00, 2:30, 4:00 - Order not locked down but allocated. I also have allocations for Gary, Mike (Stealth) and DriSump. If they do not show up or drop, I am sure there will be others in the wings.

We will wrap up the last car at 5:30.

I figure we can do 6 cars max unless you guys are speed demons.

Its gonna be nice and warm tomorrow. I have almost all the goods, but can someone pickup some ice for two coolers?

Cheers,

Mike

I need it earlier to cool the drinks - most are in the fridge right now. Hopefully someone will also bring some but bring it anyways just in case.. :-)

Wow, what a day! i did not get any pictures, I am sure others will chime in, but a LOT of people got wet and dirty but we ended up with a whole pile of clean bottoms - even threw a british bottom (narrow no less) in all that german bottom-ness.

Danny took over the BBQ, and we consumed a few flats of drinks, two boxes of hamburgers, a box of sausages and lots of water - thanks Danny for manning the BBQ again this year.

I just showered and have a few more things to do so that is a solid 12 hours - last car was put on the lift at 6:00PM, and we started at 8:30AM! I am totally bushed, but there seemed to be a lot of happy faces, a lot of BS flying around, and dirt just flying.

Many thanks guys for coming over and just making this a great day, I appreciate it!

Cheers,

Mike

Default Great Event !

Big Thanks to Mike J for putting this together
Great idea to have a wash-your-bottom and BBQ combined.
Nice opportunity to meet in person other Rennlisters, talk about our cars, projects or just BS while watching others getting soak cleaning their bottoms
Looking forward for next year BBQ

Hey guys, Matt here (nerdy tattooed foul-mouthed guy wandering around with the big camera bag). As promised, here are my pics from today:

It is rare that a gearhead finds himself thinking "too many goddamned 911s here" but when you're trying to frame one of them at a time...

Thanks for the hospitality today. It was great to meet all of you, and I hope to join your ranks (probably with a 993 after today, thanks a bunch Dennis) soon.

-Matt

Great get together as always Mike, thanks for hosting it! Hard to believe that it was the 7th year! How time really flies... Its sad for me to know that I may not have the opportunity to be at another one in the years to come, but I certainly hope to be able to. It was great seeing old friends, familiar faces and meeting new people thanks to you and this community. Good times.
