Patrick:

Thanks for putting these up.

The usual suspects gathered for the Holiday party; some customers, some suppliers, etc. Standing talking with Peter P. at the "world engine box" table is Walt and his son of CT Custom.

You west/left coasters should take note of the gastonomic excesses laid out on the moble work bench/serving table. There were actually some salads this year! But in the main, it was pasta, more pasta, sausage, meatballs, brajole, chicken marsala, pizzas and, as per tradition, hot italian roast peppers.

Here's to 2010!!!!!!!!!!

Jim

PS: ...and for those observant types, note the knock-off/ hub setup on Peter's desk. Correct wirewheels for the "slabside" folks. The President of Dayton wire wheels recently paid a visit to ERA along with a couple of other "slabside" fans.

Jim,

Great photos, looks like quite a spread and quite a party! Thanks for educating us West / Left coasters to the finer points of real Holiday fare.

Also looks like no shortage of cars to work on either ...

Ray, your Cobra looks great stuffed full of motor, seems like you will be on the road pretty soon!

I also recognize 428street's green 427 Street car ... another beauty.

Patrick / Jim ... Thanks for posting!

- Tim

Brajole? I don't even know what that is. Did anyone actually eat the salads or were they used for table decoration? Next year a new tradition. A pre-party 5K run.

Nice pics. Thank you.

Beer was packed in coolers under the loading dock along side the engine blocks stashed there.

Scotch? This crowd wasn't an effete whiskey sipping, pipe smoking and slippers sort of group... work boots and dungarees maybe.

Default Looks like a great party

Jim Holden Merry Christmas and Hoping for a Happy New Year. Peter Looks 10 years young. I hope that the Black GT -40 gets into a spread in the Mag down the road. I still can't believe how sharp that car looks. Santa has built some nice toys again this year. Happy Holiday to all and the ERA gang. Rick L.

I believe they are authentic "Sunburst" wheels.
