A great day to hang out in Colfax with some of the other mid-West Opel heads. Thanks again to Paul and Lezlie for hosting the gathering. Lots of great food, great people, and great cars! We even managed to stay dry this year.

Hoping to see you all at Springfield, if not sooner.

Yes it was a grrreat day for a 350 mile cruize. Topped off with good food and good friends. The cars were not bad either.

All GTs. All of them in showroom condition.

Thanks for everything Paul and Leslie, You both hosted another great year.

Pictures to follow.........

lezliewk · 06-07-2009

We want to thank everyone who showed up today, It was the best day for this event I think we have had

We had a great time and met a couple of new people here this time. It was a lot of fun and I am still stuffed

I am going to try again next year so mark it on your calender and watch the post next year.
I missed the people who had been here before but had other plans this year. Maybe next year
Again thanks for coming everyone
Paul and lezlie

Connie and I want to add our thanks to Paul and Lezlie for their hospitality. As Sawdust said it was a great day for a 3 or 400 mi round trip. We actually made a weekend of it by overnighting in Terre Haute to see some family. If you live within 200 mi of Colfax you should really think about making this event. No entry fee, great food, nice folks, Fine Opels. As time goes on and if Paul and Lezlie can continue to put up with us this should be one of the Best midwest Opel get togethers. If you missed it this year plan to be there next year.

Paul and Leslie:

Thanks again for your hospitality. I enjoyed the food and the fellowship. It is always good to see other Opels (and non-Opel cars) and talk to their owners! Lets hope for the same nice weather next year.

Thanks to Paul and Lezlie we had access to everything that makes an event "Special". Along with everyone who drove in from the Chicago area, the state of Illinois, western Indiana, Opelers from the local area along the town folks plus Mother Nature we had the most casual and interesting car show I have ever attended. It was small enough to meet everyone yet large enough to line the entire yard with Opel GT's, a Solitus, a Dodge and a Porsche. The community table feast was like an old time farm family setting down for conversation and more food and drink than could be consumed. The host and a fellow Opeler offered a variety of items in raffle style. I learned everything from those who had had recent surgeries, what vendors Opelers were using, where people were going after the event and why the small town had so many folks with cars in various stated of restoration. The hospitality was the best. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Polker · 06-08-2009

My wife and I had a great time this year in Colfax. Thanks again Paul and Leslie. It was nice to meet everyone who shares the same affliction. It was also worth the drive to see Ms. Opel GT.
