Jordan, that Photo Shop thingy on my computer sure works well!
Barry

Seriously though, I wish we had thought of a group photo. That photo was taken in front of Brian Asbury's flea market stall and we didn't even get him in the photo.

Jeez Barry..I never thought a good wrench like you would blame the equipment..
I could understand if Lobsterman made the posting..but I see that Swiss Chris fits right in the Rogues Gallery and doesn't stand out like a Jeepy guy in drag..
Brian Asbury and Jordan Baker would have made great book ends for the shot..

Hi There

It was great putting a face behind the MLU names. Even got some Blitz goodies from Brian Asbury and some fantastic MLU-Shirts from Chris Vickery.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't promising, it was quite raining a bit. However, I wasn't the only Swiss onsite. There was Mowag Piranha 6x6 (Engineer Version), think you call it a Husky.

I had the pleasure of driving Brian Gough's Willys Jeep What a nice little car.

I'll be picking up my renting car in a few hours and driving East, visiting Barry and then go on to Montreal/Quebec.

Greetings
Chris
