C5Registry Atlanta Pre-Sebring GetTogether

As constant readers of these pages know, it doesn't take much for the C5Registry Atlanta contingent to get together for a beer(s). Some of us were about to head for Sebring for the 12 Hours of Sebring race. Several out-of-area members were coming through Atlanta so we put together the local bunch to have a great send-off.

A quick email to the Atlanta and surrounding 'burbs members and we were able to get nearly twenty of us together at one of our traditional spots, Rio Bravo in Roswell. Present were:

Brian Atkins		W1483		99 Navy Roadster
Gary Ballantyne		W0240		99 Silver Targa
Brian Barger		W1385		99 Nassau Blue Targa
Tony Brimer		W0571		98 Torch Targa
Rob Buckalew		W0277		98 Black Targa
Tom Capinski		X1746		98 Pewter Targa
Ken Cartmill		X1590		86 White Targa
Russ Cartmill		W0115		98 White Targa
Chaz Cone		W0526		98 Black Targa
Jeff Erisman		W1479		99 MagRed Targa
Frank Fortson		W0604		98 Black Roadster
Robert & Cindy Goldstein		W0160		97 Fairway Green Targa
Jim Lantz		W0544		98 White Targa
Michael McDermott		W1481		99 Black Targa
Marlene Mitchell		W0659		97 Torch Targa

Here's a half-million bucks worth of C5s. Pretty cars all in a row... and there's eight more to the right!

---

Here's some mo' shots of the cars. These are carefully posed so you can't see anyone clearly enough to know who they are!

But I can help. Left to right it's: Brian Barger, Rob Buckalew, Ken Cartmill, Russ Cartmill, Tony Brimer, somone's head, Gary Ballantyne, John Wakefield, Robert Goldstein and Cindy Goldstein.

This is better. Left to right:

Rob Buckalew, Cindy Goldstein, Robert Goldstein, Jeff Erisman, Russ Cartmill, Marlene Mitchell, Brian Barger, Tony Brimer, Frank Fortson, Tom Capinski, John Wakefield and Gary Ballantyne.

For those who've asked here's Rob Buckalew's BBS wheels and bra on his 98 Black Targa. See Rob's web page at www.cruisecontrolauto.com.

Gotta love Tony Brimer's tag. A sentiment I'm sure we all share!

---

The sharp eyes among you will notice the C4 hiding at the end of the line. This is Ken Cartmill's ride. He says that one day he'll be in a C5 (like his dad) but for now, this is IT!

---

Here's the last to arrive, Brian Atkins in his 99 Navy Roadster and the left-most seven cars in the Corral.

Jim Lantz demonstrates his trigger finger form when someone tries to cut him off. Tony and John always pay rapt attention to tips on dealing with road rage...

And that's it until next time -- which will be on Wednesday, April 14th to kick off the trip to the C5 Birthday Bash in Bowling Green!
