Thumbs up Great to finally meet Jon Henson and Jason Rushforth...!

Yesterday at the Good Guys show in Pleasanton ...two really cool cats I converse with a ton by phone and emails but never face-to-face.
I wore my Rushforth shirt so I could represent and they both were busy talking up the products and pressing the flesh.

I knew what Rushforth looked like because his wife Melanie is so good about keeping the name in front of the faces via emails but Jon...he was the mysterious one until yesterday ...thanks for spending a little time with me guys even though my crazy Italian friends were going fifteen different ways and constantly getting themselves lost.

For anyone looking for an excellent source for wheels and spot-on advice,these are your guys.

Stopped by but there were quite a few people asking questions in the booth. Some very nice wheels.

Nice to finally put a face with your name too, John. Jon isn't so mysterious, sometimes you can see his reflection in the wheel photos!

Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi. It was great to meet everyone and if we were slammed with customers, I apologize. We were bombarded on Saturday! Great show and great weather.

Come and say hi this weekend in Del Mar at the Good Guys show. There's going to be an autocross!

I've looked hard at the pics he takes but still couldn't make him out but I recognized his laugh as soon as I heard it.
You were easy to spot...wifey plasters you all over nowadays,lol.

Great to hear the response to your wheels was great...but it doesn't really surprise me.

It was great to finally attach a name to the voices though...
