What's the story with the color-keyed number tags?

I think James had a custom plate wrapped, but I could be wrong. He likes to push the limits on license plate rules for sure. Looks great though.

Yeah I went through that one, I heard Jeff call out on the radio "Now entering the Hays County alternator wash". 8-10 inches of water for sure.

Yea, I didn't want to see how deep the water had to be to hear the rear turbo gurgling through the water!!!

Great pictures and vids guy.

I can't say how much I enjoyed this weekend, as always it's fantastic cars, great people and some fun times had by everyone.

Few notables from my view:
1. Coming up on a car sitting sideways in the road is always a pucker event. Glad that my ABS was working for the first time in 7 years as I just fixed it. It was also the first time I've ever needed it. Sad event for the crashee but like said above, thanks to our local LEO, things worked out much better than they started.





2. James making sure that his good looking green thing got in touch with the local wild life. Always good to be one with nature



3. Panamera Prototype hangs out with us.



4. Stretch shows us how they make a redneck beer cooler in Houston.



5. Jim expressed his true feelings to me. Thanks roomie.



6. Almost 70 people can fit in a room designated for 50.



7. Speedtoys can photobomb the hell out of anyone.



8. Mike and Laura know how to throw a party.



9. Chuckles can sport the hat almost as well as the Naked Cowboy.



10. 928sRus does more than just 928's. (knew this already)



11. Sue is the assassin of butterflys.



12. Jarrods first of many awards was this. LOL



13. Tony one for best non-928, with his 928.



14. and someone makes burgers shaped like Texas. Kick ***. They were good too, not horse meat.



Overall a damn good time and am looking forward to next year. It's a shame we all only get together once a year.

As always I had a great time. The finger for Sean was because he was ragging me for liking 6 in the rear instead of 8 in the front! All in good fun. I felt right at home even though I was without my 928, but then this was my 14th time in attendance.

Do we know the name of the 1st timer that kissed the guardrail? We need to let him know of Richard's generous offer of numerous parts from his collection as well as the kitty we collected for the ticket and repairs.

Jim,
Mark Robinson knows him well and hand carried the $350 to him.

James' car had a disagreement with a deer Friday night as he drove back to Austin. Deer from what I heard, walked away and flipped him off.

A big thanks to Roger and crew for such a first class event! The atmosphere all weekend was really upbeat and friendly. Good folks, good times. See everyone next year.

P.S. Polecat, I will have an even better Bourbon for you next time! It was great to finally meet you and your lovely wife Dee. All the best.
