CT Ambassador? Sorry.. maybe you didn't quite understand, when I said I owned the NE. (Paid for it in car parts put into a Bonne..lol, and bought the whole region).
I've thrown quite a few meets over the last few years. Folks come from Canada, Indiana, Arizona, Florida, Maryland, NY, PA, MA, CT, NY, NYC (cause it's like a whole different place).... and the list keeps going. People sleeping on the dining room floor, in tents..name it. Issue is..I'm now engaged and a big guy weekend is good, but not when it trashes the house. If I do one this spring.. there will need to be a central place for everyone to say that isn't the house. Although the neighbors are going to wonder why there aren't 20+ cars parked in the yard for a week.
Car work is happening in one garage bay, detailing in the other and anywhere a cord will reach. Others pointing and gawking at each others cars and plenty of shenanigans. It's a lot of fun.
