    David G de-modded....

    :ball: I REALLY wish I could have driven down for this get-together. I just have no time in my life these days for Buick stuff. Should have started having kids earlier... :Dou:

    Looks like a good time! I wish I could have been there, but this summer is really turning out to be a busy one as I had not expected, between Driver's ED, visiting w/ some relatives from Oklahoma, and doing body work and trying to get my car to actually run all at the same time, I have hardly any "true" free-time to myself. And I don't even have a Job, for crying out loud(although that's another thing I must do this summer, oh jeeminy christmas! :rolleyes: )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be shooting for next year if it's possible, and maybe I can bring a buick buddy/caravan with me if the schedule will work out for us! :TU:

    Thanks for the pictures. I see you did the Sutliff run, fun little drive!! I'll bet you all turned a few heads out there.

    Thank you also for your help on adjusting the 64 Wildcat. :TU:



    Bruce and Shirl, Just saying Thank You doesnt seem to be enough. Good food, good company and some really nice cars made for a great afternoon. Some good memories will go home with all that attended :beer

    I like the new spring 'do Bruce! Is Iowa going to become the new epicenter of style and fashion? If so, I am going to have to monitor it more closely! :pp

    It was a good time for sure! The funny thing though, was that James got more heads turning than my car did. Bruce did his best to hook the kid up........ and the 3 girls were really interested too! :eek2:

    Yes the tradition continues......Bruce and Shirl's annual Buick get together was a success as in previous years..... Thanks to both of you for your friendship and hospitality :TU: you are the best! You have a real nice home in Iowa-and that garage......WOW! :eek2:
    Nice to see familiar faces and nice to meet new Buick people as well...I had a great time! I especially enjoyed driving Bruce's '56 around the block...that is, once I learned how to start the thing!!! :Dou: The weather was picture perfect...and I made it there and back with no problems! All in all an awesome weekend! :TU:
