Are we going to be able to use that deadend street behind your house for some big time burnouts and maybe a little racing. I happen to know there isnt a police dept in Martelle.
I am sure we can make the road look just like the one in WI. :beer

[SmittyDawg]

That will only work if they've got the same kind of MAILBOX as they had in WI!:laugh: :3gears:

[68 LeSabre 4dr]

Shirl says, "no burnouts and/or no racing allowed" in Martelle if you want us to keep hosting the parties.
Thanx Mark ! ( Shirl )

[68 LeSabre 4dr]

Geeze Mark , I just walked into a heated computer room ..... And I thought it was hot at work today ...... :Dou:

You two ..... :rolleyes:

From Shirl and Bruce ,

Well now seems like as a good of a time as any to get this straight . We DO have 2 county Sherrifs here in town , the mayor next door and nieghbors who will not tolerate any reckless driving ! Bruce & I as well do not want ANY reckless driving at this event , Please .

If you feel you have to drive reckless please do not attend this get together . Please DO come if you want to enjoy good people , great food , and of course great Buicks . We will leave the racing to the Drag strip please .

Thank you

[Dana/Beth Andrews]

That will only work if they've got the same kind of MAILBOX as they had in WI!:laugh: :3gears:

I had a great time!

Wow, food-a-rama. Mark did a great job with what Iowa is famous for!
After returning from a scenic cruise and settling back in for some relaxing what should my food-dazed eyes spot??
Out trots Shirl with the mother of all electric roasters, a crockpot full of festering beans and the food fight is on again!!
Everything was absolutely delicious and I think "magic tongs" Mark has a new avocation!

It was fun to meet up with friends old and new, and Chuck-The-Pug our resident gigolo left no lap un-sat on!! :pp

Many thanks to Bruce , Shirl & family for another event filled with relaxation and food debauchery.

Until we meet again...

Later,Tony.

It was good to see everyone again, and it was a very good time. Wish I could have stayed a little longer but I had another obligation.
The cruise to Sutliff was fun, and you couldnt ask for better weather.

I am glad everyone enjoyed the ribs and brats. If anyone went away hungry from that day long feast, it would suprise me. Great food and great people, and some great cars. Does'nt get any better than that! :TU:

Greg and I had a great time as usuall. We took some pics but havn't had the time to download them onto the computer. Bruce sorry about not being able to give you aride in the car, but what is a person to do when you blow a muffler off the car. Maybe next year. Sounded like Jason loved the ride.

The tradition carries on.....:beers2: Thanks to Bruce and Shirl for hosting the best Buick get together of the season!:TU: The warmest welcome is always extended to all who attend!:TU:

An extra huge thank you to Bruce for all the help with the car......you are the best!!!:TU: :TU:

Thanks Mark for BBQ'ing up a storm!!! :beers2:

Thanks Lloyd and Shari for covering the cherry detail!!:beers2:

The weather was awesome and our Buick caravan was very cool!:3gears:
