Jan 30th, So. Cal Wash-In..... a BIG success!

[revvinkevin]

A few more lights.... the table of agitators and a very clean 806 control panel Andy brought down for me (a very nice surprise!).

 

[revvinkevin]

A little later in the evening as things were winding down, we moved and hooked up the 1977 Montgomery Wards washer and the Agi-Tub Skinny Mini over to play with.

 

[revvinkevin]

Chance decided to make a "suds cake" in the M. Wards washer...

 

[revvinkevin]

... AND in the 1-18 too!

 

[washmeup]

Wow

Kevin, you have quite the collection and it looks like you all had a lot of fun. I see you had some handsome guys there too, sorry I missed all of the fun!

Kevin

Thanks for the pics.

Looks like you had a great time.

Sorry I could not attend.

Love those Maytags!

 

[revvinkevin]

By the time the last person left and the kitchen was cleaned up... I was EXHAUSTED! But it was a VERY fun event and EVERYONE had a really great time!

Thank you again to everyone who came my big official wash-in!!! I will have to plan another one!

Anyone who here and has photos too share, please post them here!!
Again thanks to all!

Kevin

[petek]

Great pics Kevin, thanks for taking the time.. and btw you can legally call it your So.California International Wash-In now since you had guests from Canada LOL

 

[circlew]

Looks like everyone involved was having a great time. Wish I could attend one sometime.

 

[luxflairguy]

A fabulous time looks to have been had by all. Whish I was closer! Kelly, should we have a mini-meet? Greg

 

[scott55405]

Thank you again Kevin for a most wonderful day! Kevin has a wonderful venue for this event and as you can see a wonderful collection! It was great to see all my old friends and meet some new people too!

We definitely had mucho great food of all kinds! I haven't eaten much of anything today! LOL

 

[westingman123]

generous to a fault

I'm not the least surprised to see you're a great host, seeing as how kind and generous you've been on the forum. Certainly wish I could have attended. We need a convention!!

 

[frigilux]

Quite a crew you had there! I had no idea you had so many machines. Looks like everyone had a lot of fun...and a lot of food, as well. Congrats!

 

[gyrafoam]

Oh, you guys look like you are having a wonderful time.
Great collection!

 

[toggleswitch2]

[swestoyz]

The pics are great - glad it was a hit! Good to see everyone and put faces with names.

Those WP's and GE's are just stunning - wow!

 

[tlee618]

Looks like everyone had a great time. Kevin your collection is awesome. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Great to see so many friends again.

 

[strongenough78]

Awwwwwwwwww!

I'm SO pouting right now I wish I could have gone. Looks like everyone had a great time! Beautiful machines too. Hopefully someday I'll get to see them in person.

 

[redcarpetdrew]

But wait, there's MORE...

Kevin wasn't the only one to prowl about with a camera...

The GE's and the 1-18's started their journey to their new, loving home in Nevada. I, along with the wife Jacqui, started out with Jeri loaded down not only with machines but other surprises...

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Thank goodness Kevin didn't see anything ELSE to bring..

Tied them all down and hoped the Highway Patrol was a little blind this trip...

 

[redcarpetdrew]

The first leg of the trip went to The Bay Area to overnite at the parent's house... Long trip. We stopped at this wonderfull little family restaurant... WWWHHHOOOPPPSSS! WHERE did THAT picture come from?!?!?

 

[redcarpetdrew]

The next day, we started the long drive to L.A. Nice trip until we hit the 'wall' downtown in L.A. - RUSH HOUR!!!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

By the way, did I mention...

TRAFFIC?!?!? Here I am, with Jacqui and Jeri in this mess! All I could think of was a quote from the Indiana Jones movies: "My boy, we are pilgrims in an unholy land..." LOL!

 

[chestermikeuk]

Wash In...!!!! Calafornia Style!!

Congratulations Kevin on your big wash-in, great to see the old friends and put faces to new screen names, can see you had loads of fun, and so many machines now!!! (remember when you had two!!!) Worth all the hard work though, Cheers, Mike

 

[Unimatic1140]

Oh Kevin those pictures are just wonderful, I had no idea you had such a large collection! Amazing machines. I so wish Fred and I could have been there to join in with all the festivities.

I'm going to move this thread to the Imperial Forum so it gets archived properly, we don't want to lose these great pictures of everyone.

 

[rickr]

WOW!! Looks like great fun! Wish I could have been there too!

Nice to see the faces with the names, and of course, it's always fun to see your collection Kevin.

Thanks for the cool pixs!

 

[golittlesport]

Excellent afternoon and evening!

Thank you, Kevin, for being such a gracious host. We all had a wonderful time. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones. And many thanks to you and Andy for taking and posting the pictures.

 

[turquoisedude]

Wish I could have been there!

Looks like it was a lot of fun!! Thanks for sharing all the pictures with us! It must have been a lot of work, but wow, did the collection ever look good. Great job, Kevin!!
