My friend John Holleran had a good time meeting everybody and carving Carbon Canyon behind Sarge. The trip back to my place was loud as ever. Thanks for the pics Mark and nice to meet Darren (Gibber) and his wife finally.
Sarge... my linkage is ready for you this time. No mercy ;D Title: Re: Nick's Labor Day 2010 Post by: LuftsickTero on September 07, 2010, 20:07:35 pm Enjoyed a light turn out at Nick's, last night, due to the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Title: Re: Nick's Labor Day 2010 Post by: Rennsurfer on September 07, 2010, 20:56:10 pm Fabian, thanks and you're welcome.
Jim, always a pleasure to see you and your car. Stoked that you're getting much use, as usual, out of it. Tero, there's a lot of info regarding that Crew Cab Type 2, but one of the other DEEKS or Panzers will have to chime in. They know more about it and it's owners more than myself. That's only the second time I've seen it. It's quite nice, inside and out.

Ah... no wonder the paint/body looks so good. I was admiring it before I shot the picture. Thanks for the info, Danny.

Cheers Jim, sorry we had to duck early- it was a case of late night, followed by an early morning with a little dose of jet lag.

You have the best signature on this site, bar none. One of my all time favorite movies, too. Sorry for the off topic content... back on topic: great picture of the cars.

Mark, thanks for the pictures, ill try and post some of my photos up as soon as i can, Damian Title: Re: Nick's Labor Day 2010 Post by: autohausdolby on September 09, 2010, 19:38:11 pm Hey Damo, not wanting to go too far off topic here but I'm so going to smoke your Oval with my new 34 horse powerhouse! :D
Title: Re: Nick's Labor Day 2010 Post by: Rennsurfer on September 09, 2010, 23:07:54 pm Thanks mark, But I cant take credit on the paint. Yeah, I figured that you didn't paint it... otherwise, you would've said something. But the body workmanship still shows.
