We gathered at Balboa park as we planned, in front of the automotive museum. We held our BBQ in front of our parked cars in the parking lot on the tram stop area . It was a pretty cool location, I think. 12 cars and 13 members were present. It was the coolest to see 11 Type threes and one T-34 convertable in a row. Quite a few people stopped to look at our cars on their way to the various museums. This was a very busy place with a packed parking lot. Some people did not know what kind of cars these were. We enjoyed ourselves quite alot . We swapped parts, sold and bought parts, stories , information on repairs, showed off picture albums and literature and set up car help dates. Lee Hedges passed out copies of sale price literature in German and color copies of advertisements of our cars depending on the model and year of each of our cars. This was a nice touch, thanks !!! Our gathering lasted from 11:00am to 5:00pm . We had BBQed chicken and some snacks. This was a pigout for some. Our group consists of 26 people and half them participated. I think this was a great showing for type 3's , I hope next time we can get at least little more than half of our group. We took some pictures. I hope someone can scan these in and send them to our web master for our site. Non of us brought a digital camera and I also forgot to take pictures since we were so busy. I took some regular video of our cars and I may convert it to computer format as soon as I find out how. This way all can see it.
