A lot of us have been on all the various GT boards for 15-odd years or more and I think, with very few exceptions, we all consider ourselves friends of one-another. This holds true whether or not we have met "IRL" or not. And many of us are Facebook friends and get glimpses into each other's home lives, and that's something for which I am grateful.
And there's some others that we've been in contact with for a decade, and have never even seen a photo of them.
So when I read posts and have a dialog with those I've never seen or met, I try to imagine what they might look and sound like. For tsg, for unknown reasons I've always imagined him looking a bit (but not exactly) like an actor by the name of Loren Dean.
I'm here to report that he looks nothing like that.
And we had a great afternoon at Petersen Automotive Museum.
Thanks for spending some time with my family and me on Thursday. What a spectacular venue Petersen is! Would have been nice to have a little more time to sit down for a meal together, but like you said, that will have to be a goal for our next meeting.
