Emory Campout 2017
Last weekend I made it out to the Emory Campout.
I never went last time I lived here, so was very excited ! It was a great event on so many levels...an event that was held annually since the mid 90's, that last took place 5 years ago. Rod Emory relocated down to California, the "arrive and drive" part of the business winded down and the farm went back to being...a farm.
The event for me meant I finally got to meet Rod Emory, I have a lot of respect for the man (and his dad Gary) and as I have mentioned before, it was seeing the Emory Specials back in the early 2000's that really inspired me when building the Modrod. Plus I managed to arrive with both my cars*
There were some epic roadtrips made to get to the event from out of state...some over 3000miles! For me it was a quick 40 mile blast down I-5 south and then cross-country...after all those cross-european slogs to meet up at Lemans or Spa it made quite a change
The camping was basic, the craic was great, the Beer flowed, the Oregon summer shone down and the cars were special.....so in no particular order:
*(my friend and mechanic Erik drove the 912...this isn't a photoshop trick)

Re: Emory Campout 2017
Will the event happen again, who knows. The Emory family didn't say no, but then again they didn't say yes...this was treated as the 5 year reunion and was left as that.

Cheers

Great pics Chris and a nice event. I don't often fancy a 356 but an outlaw in their style could persuade me. Thanks for posting.
The force is strong in this one ......

Re: Emory Campout 2017
Thanks Chris. It looks amazing. You were very busy with the photographs. They are great. I like the gradual change of light from bright sunshine to darkness.

Re: Emory Campout 2017
It looks like a great event with some wonderfully-individual cars (as you might expect given the host).
I'd have loved to have been there - thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for posting this Chris. I'd been following the build up to this from afar. You just made an old 356 guy very happy.
