Palms To Pines To Vines - Cheryl's Pics

[zonker]

My S.O. and ace cameraperson Cheryl took an image diary of the days events, and this thread is here to share with you the fun that was had spending the day with some Fiat X1/9 and Italian car possessed people.

Thank you to all that showed up - Rudy, Eric and Eric, Anne, Alvon and Mo, Mike, Tommy, and of course Mike Busman and Papa Tony Natoli. It made the day for Cheryl and I very special!

I gotta work on my reaction time...

I kept waiting for you to step on it and by then I was too late! HA!

But I did pull on ya with my 1 - 2 - 5 shift... I shoulda stuck with that and quit while I was about even.

FUN!!!

Hey... Thank Cheryl for the GREAT fotos... great meeting a bunch of new folks as well as some of the same old guys... and I mean old!
