We just got home. Left PA at 10:30am, rolled into Boston at 10:30pm. The day kinda played out like:

-Leave the fairgrounds, all is well. 

-Drive an hour north, stop for gas. 

-Notice tire rub due to new spacers, procede to brake 3/8" ratchet removing the 1st wheel bolt. (I have a 1/2" beaker  bar and 19mm socket for the wheel bolts. The longer h&r bolts are 17mm)  

-Limp 8 miles down the road to Harbor Freight, purchase 17mm 1/2" socket. Remove spacers, all set.....wait a minut.

-Notice the trailer tires are a bit low, rock trailer to confirm and notice the wheel bearings have become loose. 

-Back into Harbor Freight, purchase jack.

-Jack up trailer, remove wheels, relighted and check bearings, reassemble.

-Drive 6 miles to gas station for air, air pump borked  

-Drive 8 miles to another gas station, yay air, fill trailer tiers.

-Now it's 3pm and we're still in PA, procede to drive north, get hammered in traffic crossing the Tap N Z. 

-Drive, drive, drive, road construction at 9pm in mass.

-10:30pm pull into driveway. 

 

Can't wait till next year.

​Yeah certainly next year. I am getting married in a month and just have too much with that and the car wasn't ready in my eyes to show anyway...

I did get some logging done this weekend though in order to get it back on the road and boostin!

What was the second place banner for? Volvo second to saab in attendance?

 

​Yes, I believe it was for 2nd largest group. The guy that gave the banner wasn't very specific.

 

LOL at Dan's face in the first picture.

I guess I'll post the non car related photos since you got the cars covered, Gabriel. Due to some person who requests to be anonymous, I shan't post the photos of you, Mike! Or the sunscreen rub down, courtesy of Ashley.

And I'm almost certain I spoke to a hooker/stripper/whatever at a gas station in a ghetto-ish neighbourhood in Niagara Falls, NY. :blink:

2134 miles later and I am home safe and sound.  Met a lot of cool people and drank a lot of good beer.  Special thanks to Eric Sommers and Bobby Morse for putting me up a night each.  Couldn't have done it without ya.
