2012 R Gruppe Treffen, part III

I’m writing this from the comfort of my home, after eventful air travel back to the Carolinas, another Treffen successfully concluded. Before the remaining event photos, I thought everyone would appreciate Zuffenhaus rental car return policy – leave no fuel unburnt: We had 3 miles to go at the time of this photo – it likely stalled on the check-in attendant as we headed for the terminal 😉 Here are the rest of the photos from the event: (the owner of MS Road & Race) Thanks to both Chris and Freeman for another great Treffen experience! Everyone else – stay …

It’s been a productive week. For those of you who haven’t been to Essen for Techno Classica, it is a huge vintage car event, full of Barrett Jackson-esque sales and PRI-style trade displays, with a swap meet and vendor hall thrown in.
