Hi All,
We had the most Bugeye's in one place that I've ever seen. They also
drove us all over the penninsula in their ralley. We followed Larry but
got seperated somewhere. We found out that Puddles likes to test car
alarms. I think we tested all the ones we could drive by. Will be back
next year to test the ones I missed. All and all, the locals treated us
very well, They even bought up a bunch of English sausage from
somewhere for the show.
