I met up with 3 board members this weekend!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 04-01-2002, 09:02 AM

My family and I travelled to Saskatoon to take in Draggins Custom and Hot Rod show. And I had brunch with Bowtie (Bernie), Stingray (Ray) and S'toon Boy (Randy). And let me tell you, these are top notch guys. Bernie supplied all of us with our own collection of 69 Hot Wheels as easter eggs. Thanks again Bernie. Ray and Randy are a couple of the best guys you could meet. Along with our wives, we had a great time. Everyone at that table was so into these 67-72's. We were even bragging on how our wives are getting as good as us, or better , at spotting and recognizing the years of these trucks. All in all, it was an awesome weekend. As soon as i get my pics developed from the show, I will be sharing them with everyone on the board.

dubie, sounds like a good time for sure. my wife is getting good at spotting them too. You guys sound like a top notch bunch to me.
I hope to meet up with some board members this weekend at Charlotte, I'll have my trusty digi cam, so maybe we'll have some faces with those names....LOL

Maybe I can meet some of you northern guys someday....eb

dubie · 04-01-2002, 10:36 AM

You would have to come pretty far north to meet up with us, but that would be cool!! I wish I would have snapped a pic of the 4 of us together, but never thought of it at the time. But I did manage to sneak a pic of Bowtie's sweet Shorty, and I will definately be posting that pic along with the other 67-72 I saw there.

Putting faces to the screen names is pretty cool. I just met my first two members over the weekeknd and it was a real good time.
I just wish my wife would try to id a truck...she ain't even tried to do it in a couple years now.

**StingRay** · 04-01-2002, 02:48 PM

I got a few pics at the car show of a couple very nice trucks. All of the burb guys will be interested in a mildly customized burb that was there and is for sale for about $20k Candadian. I will try to post them tonite. I did my best to represent the board to these guys and hope that they too will sign on as members.

Hey Micah you're quite talkative there. How've you been feeling?

Well we had a great time meeting the other board members (Ray, Tim & Randy) and their families. After exchanging e-mails and phone calls it was good to meet these people in person. Ray was an excellent host and even bought our brunch. I forgot my camera so I'm depending on these guys for some pics. Hopefully we'll see more of S'toonboy on the board and at the track. When the weather is a lot nicer hopefully we can all bring our pickups out and have a 'campout'.
