We had a great time. Wasn't sure how the wife would like it but she was fired up. Hey any time she can take photos she's happy.
Thought the drive up 680 was very respectful. Like that grey Jag that rev'd past us. Great turnout. Count us in for next time!

I can see how some people have a gripe about the cruise, if there was either a stop sign or merging, and you got stuck behind a slow car, it was easy to get left behind. I found myself doing 110+ on the freeway to try to keep up with the first group of people that left. Granted I"m not the one complaining, because I had a blast.

For those who didn't have directions or didn't know where to go, maybe you should have followed somebody else that did. Just a suggestion of course.

Thanks Brian and Gabe, and anybody else that helped out. It was a lot of fun, and I"m already trying to figure out how to get the 30th of March off from work. Then again, I was 'sick' today. *cough cough*

Sorry if it did not meet your expectations.

Brian, you did a good job..All the time you put in it was worth it. like Dean said people were just playing catch up. I was hella lost following Nate so I had to drive kinda fast. I would have never made it home If I didn't keep up. I was totaly lost. didn't know what area I was in didn't want stop and ask for directions and some redneck have me in there barn telling me I have a perty mouth or somthing. I enjoyed being irresponsable for once. (for those who know me they know I don't do a whole lot of speeding) But it was fun..Good work Brian.....

The cruise route sounds like it was great. Too bad no one would give us directions or drive in a way that we could keep up. We just got told "follow the pack" but the pack split about 20 times. We followed who we could but the person in front of us had no map either. Wish I could have been there for the tunnel.

No grill,,,haahaa no I didn't see her. I aint trippin on people checking out my lady but these guys were right behind me and I turned around and they had the cameras on her ass...WTF...I didn't say anything. I just gave a dirty look and they walked away.. I didn't want to be the dick that got into a fight at Gabes meet because I was insecure... I kept my cool.

If that was me I would have wanted my man to get pissed. I like to feel like he's protective. Not controlling, just protective. Its not insecurity, its chivalry (spelling)

Hey I'm new to this board but I had to register to tell you guy what a fabulous job you did with the location of the show and the turn out. It really was a perfect day weather wise.

I don't have a Mustang (my brother has taught me to love them through his) but I was happy to park in the "non ford parking." It was a added bonus to see those four '69 Camaro's show up, not to mention the other 1st gens.
And who saw the '66 Supercharged Mustang...drool.

I am very sorry that you felt this way. I feel the meet was very well planned out. We had directions, and drove the course a few times as well. About the flyers, it was only expected that 75, count em, 75 cars would show up and maybe half would go on the cruise. We never ever expected having 200 Cars show up. There was a lot of work behind the scenes that no one else saw and how hard some of the guys worked to make sure everyone had a fun time. About the cruise getting broken up: We cannot control traffic. Inevitably there will be other cars on the road that will be driving normally that we cannot control. Sorry that people got split up, but we sure did our best to keep everyone together. I pulled off the side of the road numerous times to wait for people to try and get everyone in a group.

What happened to your Cobra? You are the guy who made the custome power pipe for your car right?

Did I miss something?

I understand the behind the scenes stuff is hard I don't mean to critisize. I only mean to add a suggestion. I was told last year's cruise was the same way. I'm sorry if i came off wrong but like you said YOU had a map. I understand about the overwhelming turn out it's just when asked "where are we headed" i was told just keep up. Hard to do when you CAN'T. Thanks for all the hard work guys. I know it takes a LOT to get one of these meets planed. C you guys next year!

I’m one of those “old farts” that showed up. I loved seeing all the great looking cars. I couldn’t believe how many cars were there when I showed up at 11:55. Great job everyone who put this together; and don’t take the criticism too personal, it goes with the territory. You can’t please everyone all the time. Now if you want my ideas on how to make it better next time……… LOL

I thought that the cruise was very well put together. It's hard to keep up when your in the back, you hit every light or sign and you have to punch it to catch up. I was in the first 5 or so cars for most of the cruise and we didn't brake the speed limit, I even believe ( probley the only one ) that it could have been a little faster and more aggressive. My 2 cents
