    Well, the Great Northwest Colby Cruise was a big success. We had enough Maverick/Comets to cover a city block. That's alot of cars. Had to park close together, to get them to fit the city block...LOL Even had to park acouple on the other side of the street, 13 total. Was awesome to see nothing but Mavericks & Comets for a whole block. And a total of 14 cars when you include meeting at Denny's. Had a wonderful time seeing old friends & meeting new folks. Doesn't get any better than this.
    Here's some pictures, enjoy!!!
    Tomorrow is the Show & Shine.

    Nice turnout. Other than a RU or Gathering I doubt one will ever see that many of our cars in one place. What car traveled the longest distance to the meet and how far was that? Wud be nice to see that kind of attendance at a major show, cruise inn and esp. an all Ford show.
    Anyway, nice going folks...:thumbs2:

    The first MCCI Roundup Nationals I attended (it was like the 3rd or 4th one, the 18th one will be in July) only had 10 cars. I do recall several Carlisle All-Ford Nationals that had 22 to 25 Mavericks/Comets.

    Great turnout, great pictures...and some great cars!!

    This is a 2 day event. On Monday May 30th was the Show & Shine. They parked us on an angle so we wouldn't take up the whole block today..LOL
    Had another great showing on the 2nd day. Had 12 Mavericks & Comets. What an awesome site. Lots of good comments from the public. They had over 700 cars attend the event today. And lots & lots of people browsing the cars. The weather was perfect. Not to hot & no rain.
    Here some pictures, enjoy!!!
