Great photos, Trish--it's wonderful to place faces with names! and what a great looking bunch of Fodorites :-) Looks like you enjoyed a great afternoon! :-)

Also took a peek at your cars--we have three that my husband is restoring... The green machine looks hot! :-D

Thanks for posting! Good job on the pics, Trish.

Thanks again, everyone, for an absolutely wonderful afternoon! I SO enjoyed meeting everyone - can't wait for next time.

What a good-looking group!!!
Thanks for the pictures, and a glimpse of Budman..You're hot, honey!

Thanks dcespedes! It's comforting to know I'm not the only Fodorite who has to share travel $ with car hobbies!

Great pictures, Trish, but the funny remarks are even better!

I don't envy you guys only in anticipation of the Yountville GTG.

Pam, if I've had "work" done, I want my money back. :-D

Cigalechanta, I thought so, too--Budman is a studman! :-D

WOW!!! Hot? Studman? Wait till I tell Mrs. Budman. I hope she doesn't go into shock! ((a))

When I told Mrs. Budman that I was setting up a GTG Luncheon with a bunch of strangers that I met on the internet, she said: "What? Are you nuts?" Yes, I am!!

I have to say, she had the "bestest" of times at this GTG, and she didn't even imbibe.

So, if you're thinking of attending the next GTG, don't let the wine bottles keep you away. There were others who didn't imbibe and had equally as good a time.

Cheers!! ((b))
