This past weekend I was in Bloomington, Indiana attending "Pam's Fall Meet" Hosted by my friend Jim Schlick in memory of his late wife Pam Schlick. We had a great turnout, Even if it was raining in the morning, the sun did come out late morning and we all had a great time. A great buffet lunch was served early afternoon to everyone's delight!. I started the trip back home early sunday morning and made the nearly 700mile trip in 11 hour's in my trusty 505 XN6 Wagon. It is allwaye's a delight to se Jim's collection of Peugeot car's all 12 of them!!

1 Waiting for the rain to stop, so we can get the cars out of the garage!
2 A '68 404A sedan, '68 204 cabriolet, and '00 406 coupe waiting their turn to see some sunshine.
3 The 406 coupe - beautiful Pinninfarina styling!!
4 A few of Jim's model Peugeots, article reprints, and local car show trophies.
5 Another view of some of the Peugeot models and other automobilia. Most of the models are 1:43 scale.
6 The guests and their classic autos started arriving as the rain let up and the clouds started to disperse.
7 The '50 MG TD and '84 Morgan +8 drove in the rain from Nashville, IN to join the festivities.
8 Jim's pristine '79 504 Diesel.
9 Jim's '67 404 Coupe & '68 404 Sedan.
10 Another view of the 404's - both were designed by Pinninfarina.
11 1950 MG TD and a 1984 Morgan +8. What beautiful examples.
12 Joe and Linda drove the red Renault GTA from Cincinnati; Ginny and Gary had the top down when they arrived in white cabrio.
13 Jim's daily drivers - a'91 405S and a '91 405 Mi16 - flank his '01 206XR and '00 406 coupe.
14 Joe Wagner & Linda Cornell came from Cincinnati, Ohio. It was good to see them again!
15 The clouds finally started to clear, albeit sloooowly.
16 Pam's brother Herb and his girlfriend Becky drove from Marshalltown, IA.
17 Some of the guests enjoying the warmer weather inside the 'Peugeot Polebarn'.

23 '01 206XR with an 'interesting' paint scheme.
24 Jim's '79 504 Diesel looks a little lonely early in the event.
25 Unfortunately the 'sister' '66 404 cabriolet spent the day in the garage.
26 Paul and Judy's TT.
27 The Peugeots returned to the polebarn as the sun moved lower in the sky.

31 Another view of some of the automobilia.
32 A display case with several Peugeot models (plus a Porsche 901 - later renumbered 911 at Peugeot's insistence - or so the story goes).
33 Jim's '94 Harley Road King and '58 403 cabrio. It would have been something to see Detective Columbo riding a Harley, wouldn't it?
34 Judy getting the TT ready for the big day tomorrow. See how nice the weather was on Friday.
35 Inside and outside were sparkling clean!
36 Jim and Steffen 'helping' Tucker work on Jim's '81 504 turbo-diesel station wagon at Tucker's shop.
