Good time at KTE 2025. Here are a couple of pictures from Friday night's cruise that included a stop on the bridge at the end of Sanford stadium; home of the Georgia Bulldawgs and the famous hedges.

Hobug - thank for organizing a great event!! This was my first Kubel Treffen and hopefully many more to come! And luckily the rain didn't slow us down much.

I enjoyed all the Things - each one was unique as were the owners! It was great to make some new friends and the dinners and evenings in the pavilion were a great chance to share some good stories and tips.

I can't wait until next year!

Thanks again, Hobug!

Doug

It was good to meet you Doug as well as others that I had seen at previous Kubel Treffens, but had not gotten to know them.

Your 73 was certainly worthy of the award Best 73!

Thanks for posting all these pics!

I wasn't there so I enjoy seeing what other Thing owners have done to their rides. I see one of them with the bikini top... I really gotta get me one of those.

Hopefully in the future I can attend.

Cheers!
Mark

We ran out of shirts at the show. I didn't even end up with one. Boo hoo!

We are able to do a second printing for anyone wanting a shirt. They will be $24.00 each and that includes shipping.

Please send payment with PayPal if possible: [email protected]
Be sure to include your size, number of shirts, and address to ship them to.
We will be placing the order August 11th.


( I did check with Everett before posting this here )
