Hah, you finally got me.............I was walking out and Ben said "I really like your headlight rings" with a smirk..........I thought that was odd.

Good one !

Great to see everybody !


Shawn was just making sure you were repping for breast cancer awareness month. I'd keep rocking them.

Awesome time. Great to meet some new friends and hope to see a few new Broncos in the club soon!

Thanks to Rox, akaFrankCastle and Digger for bringing your kids. Mine had a blast hanging out.

Great motivation to get me back in the garage tomorrow to replace more cancer.

I think the pile of dirt that came off Margo could fill a Hone Depot bucket. And she slept half the way back. She had fun for sure.

Great pictures. I love it when there is so much detail you can read a Lowry AFB sticker that expired 23 years ago!

I used to have one of those on my '74 during the same year. Don't recognize that one though.

Seriously though, how is it possible that we had that great turnout and not one single breakdown?

Shoot, it was so uncommon that Zoso and Justin had to manufacture some excuse just to make things right with the bronco gods

Glad to see my bender getting some use still. I haven't seen it in over a year now. I'd like to get that back soon.

Had a good time. Ironically, when I got home and checked the Book of Faces, a friend of mine and just purchased a Bronco. Didn't even know he was looking.
