Smile 2008 GTOAA Nat's and thank you all...

My first National was great and seeing so many nice GTO's in one spot was a real treat. The indoor concours show was incredible and I had a lot of fun. It was nice to finally meet many of you in person as well.

I want to thank all of you who have helped me since I joined this forum in 2004. All of the knowledge I gained here and everything that was shared with me enabled me to win my first comcours gold award at a GTOAA National.

Thank you!

Wow...That's a real accomplishment! Congratulations!
BUT...I think you should get a red "Level 3" warning for not posting pics.

Thumbs up

A real accomplishment. First, a comfy bed in a museum and now this! What's next in your plans? Maybe it's time to seek new company for her in the garage? lol
