I'll let someone else give the names. I forgot to take pictures of the Broncos after we ate.

Im glad we did this, i definitely think that we need to do more, and maybe do a springs area chapter like we talked about, and i say zack should lead it! and like every 2-3 months meet up with the denver area guys, cuz i like going up to denver and seeing everybody, but its just not all that feasible to drive a 10mpg bronco up there once a month or more, and it was great to see you guys again, and i was glad to meet some new faces too, and thank you JD for letting me drive your rig, i know i didn't drive it very far but it got me motivated to get my SEFI 351w and ZF 5spd done, and thanks for the compliments on my truck, i don't get to many as its pretty ugly and most don't see the good in it.

Very Cool! Feel bad I am outta tizown and missed it. I think these are a great idea and will definitely do these more often. The few that I have had have all been super fun. Thanks for taking a pic too.

Sorry I missed it. I haven't been able to log onto the site for about 1 1/2 months for some reason, so didn't know about it. On a positive note, finally am able to get on since Fri. night.
Mark.

Yeah, it was a great turnout and thanks again for coming! Also, I appreciate you bringing your families and/or significant others! We had 5 broncos there! I didn't take any post dinner pictures either. Champps was very accommodating and did everything they could to make us comfortable. I didn't hear any complaints about them. Plus it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear someone across the table.

I think having two chapters is a great idea as well. I would love to go to a Denver meeting but not sure I could make them all. I do know that my bronco won't likely make it as it's not fun to drive that far, but I'd be happy to carpool with someone and pitch in for gas, or drive my commuter. A trail ride is a whole different animal tho!

Anyway, as the weather warms, I'll put another one of these together. Maybe at an outdoor venue like Sonic or the like. Any suggestions? Maybe a breakfast meeting with a run up Saran wrap or eagle rock.

PS ran into Corey at Einsteins bagels on Sunday... Wouldn't have ever known him prior to Saturday. BTW - next time you should take my ride out on at least a main street to get up to speed a little. I will tell you it'll go way faster than I care to drive it!! 70mph is no problem. And thanks to Zack, I'll be able to report my fuel mileage soon too.

Names? OK, I don't remember them all, but on the left starting nearest:
Zack (Melony was sitting on his left)
___ - drawing a blank, sorry. Had a nice blue bronco
Charlie (trying to get his bronco on the road again)
Corey and wife Crystal (bronco with beauty under the skin)
On the right is me (J.D.) (white beatup bronco)
Clay (red-ish rig)
Mike (his son and wife) (red and very clean rig)

ya i enjoyed it, and next time i'll have to take ya up on that offer burnout , i just didn't wanna confuse crystal too much more, so i just figured it'd be a safer bet to stay in the parking lot, i guess i could've warned her icon biggin , hopefully mine will have a few more things done to it, and the only correction is im married to crystal, no worries on saying gf, and once i get my tires and a lil' bit more money saved up i'd love to go run eagle rock again, great trail and pretty close too! and i never would've guessed we'd see ya over there at einstein brothers
