 :icon_thumright:

I concur, always nice to put the names to faces.  I also like it here to be able to address someone by name in a reply. It just feels more friendly, maybe that's just me.

Hi all

Sorry Keith Anderson and I got to the get together so late.

We were still putting the Extravaganza Car Show and Swap Meet together at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds for Sunday.

There was still plenty of great food available when we rolled in but I'm sure we missed meeting a few of the new people to join our 3rd annul.

We were so busy talking I never did hear a final list of the new entries. Do we know? Do we have additional pictures to add names to faces?

A big thanks goes out to Rob for once again holding this local get together of 65GS.com. He has a great location and provides superb hospitality.

Thanks again Rob.

I also want to thank all the people that stopped over on Sunday for the "Gopher State Buick Extravaganza" held at the Minnesota State Fair each year.

This event is the first major outdoor car show and swap meet in this part of the country and everyone showed up yesterday with great weather.

As you can see from the pictures Rob had his car up on stands busily getting things ready for the BCA Nationals and 50th Anniversary in Springfield Missouri in June.

From what I heard Saturday night it sounds like everyone else is busy doing the same thing including myself.

Springfield should be really great with or without a car.

Get your reservations in soon if you think you can make it.

Their are several good hotels in the area besides the host hotel so take your choice.

Their has been quite a bit of work put into making the "65GS 50th Anniversary" special at this event.

If you haven't seen the May copy of the BCA Monthly Newsletter "Buick Bugle" get your hands on one.

No less then 14 color pages of pictures and commentary put together by members of 65GS.com.

Cars featured included John Egel (NUT465GS), Mark Ascher (MarkAscher) and Dan Ankeney (DSAGS) including a cover shot of Dan's Engine Bay.

Dan Ankeney's car will also be a feature car displayed inside for the "65GS 50th Anniversary" in Springfield.

Once again thanks to everyone for a great weekend and many more to come.

Rob, great party, we had a good time, and I learned a lot about 65 GS cars at the party and looking at all the cars at the show. Hope every one got home and out of the weather on Sunday PM. thanks Bill.

Speaking of Jay Robertson what kind of mean machine was that he left in?

I heard he had to wait a year to get it.

Sorry for the questions but I guess that's what I get for showing up so late

I didn't catch the mystery guest's name. He is a friend of Jay's.

The mean machine is a 700 hp Dodge Hellcat.  Jay took delivery of it on May 1st.  Sweet machine. 
And yes, he had to wait a year from when he ordered it to taking delivery.
