Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
Larry, I'm sorry we missed you all. We actually stayed at another hotel. I was there on Saturday evening and again mid-day Sunday, but I missed a lot of people I'd looked forward to seeing. Did catch up with Marisa, Henry, Ron and Nate, so all was not lost. Hope to see you all next year!!

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
Just raw photos up at this time .... hope to find time to cull through and delete the bad ones (or inappropriate ones Smile ) ...
http://s222.photobucket.com/user/new...?sort=2&page=1 Great time at the meet – as usual! It’s the PEOPLE not the cars, but the car brings us together. Just really great to see old friends and make some new ones and to even see SVXi I’ve not seen before....... Congrats to HUCK for winning the “Competition Award” this year for all he has done to promote the SVX and its potential performance. Especially the FIRST to convert the SVX to a manual 5-speed ..... well done, HUCK! And excellent choice, Tom!! And congrats to Dennis for having the MOST pristine SVX there with his ‘97 Polo with ONLY 16K miles on it!! What a gorgeous car!!! And kudos to all of us that braved to cold and STILL had a good time!! Looking forward to next year already! And thanks to Dennis (actually his wonderful wife) for the sandwiches and goodies and of course Rosie and Larry with their load of Italian pastries! PS: I have sent this along to all those that "registered" and provided me with their email address - if you did not receive it, message me with your email address so I can get you on the list!

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
I am glad to hear everyone had a great time (at least the ones that replied here). My thoughts were with you all at the meet. I know how fun the meet is and I will make it again.

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
Missed you as well! I saw your car in the lot Saturday night, but that was it. No worries, I'll look forward to the next one.

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
My second and first since 08. Great meeting everyone, it was just to short, and I had even less time with my six year old son with me keeping me busy. Wish I had more time to chat with you folks. Danny and I enjoyed the cruise out to dinner and the company. He kept everyone on their toes with his questions and comments and with his crayons and paper. Thanks for the hospitality guys. Hope to see everyone again next year. Conn thanks for being part of our ride down and splitting the room with us.

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
Sure was counting on seeing you there John. As a friend for ten years, we have only seen each other twice in person. Sorry you picked this year to miss Reading. Both Danny and I were looking forward to seeing you, especially since hes never met you but hears you talking to his Daddy almost on a daily basis Hopefully we will see you next year my friend. Plan on staying the whole time next year. Its not the same without the coordinator there.

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
It was great to meet everyone and finally put faces and cars to names at my first Reading. You guys are a great group of people and it won't be my last Reading trip. I should be back in an SVX after graduation in a few years when I can do it properly

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
Glad to be back after a two year hiatus and to meet up with old friends and a few new ones . Had a great time and the return journey to NE Ohio was uneventful . The '92 LS ran like a charm all day
Looking forward to next year already ! Alan ( Alanscouse ) |

Re: Reading 16. I don't know about you...
The sentiments expressed seem to reflect those of the original Reading in spirit.
Newer members signed up and became excited to meet other members that they have come to know through the forums. They could finally put faces to the names and cars. Older members return to reconnect with those they have come to know and love over many, many years. Catching up, swapping stories, amd making new memories never gets old. This Reading was much more about the people than what was being offered in the way of activities or events. While there was anticipation, there were few expectations and therefore it was very hard to be disappointed. Seems like everyone really enjoyed themselves thoroughly, despite the fact that there were no activities planned. No formal tech sessions, No scenic drives No points of interest No autocross No rallies No scavenger hunt No raffle No parts for sale/swap No planned group dinner No Concours No one seemed bored or disappointed. The only concern expressed was the coolness of the weather that prevented members from being outside late into the evening. Some talk of possibly moving the meet into May (second weekend... after Mother's day). Warmer weather definitely. It's always nice to hear from those who tell us what they liked and ways to improve it while maintaining that enthusiasm that created Reading in the first place. Mike Davis, in his signature on the network, always said "Reading is my favorite holiday" But his comment on Facebook this April, about why he did not show up at Reading, was "It used to be different, and *I* used to be different." I hope that this was a temporary decision on his part and one that will not become contagious .Reading is different every year, not because of what is planned, but because of the enthusiasm of the people and what occurs spontaneously. I'll be there next year. I should not have missed this one. .
