2008 Opel Nationals Awards

[Ooooner]

I would like to thank everyone who attended the 2008 Opel Nationals last weekend! Without you, the show would not have turned out as it did! Everybody was a winner at this show.
The judging was very hard for the guys who judged. But I think they went through the cars with a fine tooth comb and did the best they could. On the "National" level, the judging should be tougher to reflect the best of the best. Every Opel (and Bitter) there was great!
