Lightbulb Your best memories from the meet?

It just dawned on me that a thread where everyone listed their best memories from the Reading V Meet would make a great read for those who couldn't make it to the meet and fan the embers of those who were there. Right now I am about to go to bed, so I will add my thoughts tomorrow morning. But for the rest of you, please...have at it!

Johnny (Still high from the meet and wondering when I'll come down.)

Yay! another thread for me to miss more sleep over. Lets see things I can Remember right now:

Zavikin getting rear ended

NJ McDonald photo shoot

Randys new paint scheme

Winning my wipers (I put them on as soon as I got home).

Almost getting GreenMarines car rear ended ( I really thought it was a 3 way stop, after I thought it was a one way stop)

Rally fun (walking fun)

Xphiles headers (holly CR@P!)

The elephant.

And all the other random events that I couldn't remember by morning.




Here looking forward to trying to remember a bunch of cool stuff next year. Including everyones two names and who they belong too. I'm trying.

I wish I could remember half the jokes told Saturday night at the "Round Table".

When Kelli Leighed(sic) Chris

$1025 for a Neon sign?!?!?!?!

Transforming Randy's car with Amanda (SVXQUEEN), We did REALLY GOOD!

When Randy yelled at Chris for failing to protect his car from Kelli (us), and Chris says, "I have webcam footage of the dinner, I am gonna see who left early!!" When low and behold Amanda and I were sitting at his table and he had no clue!!

Watching Mike trying to put his car cover on by himself while he was completely drunk. "where is the damn mirror hole?!?"

The three SVX-less amigos! (Amanda, Chris and I)

Amanda bringing me drinks in the parking lot (YOU ROCK GIRL!!!)

Jesse sitting at the round table with his sunglasses on.

Brad, the one-gear wonder

Tom's headers and supercharger!

Making it to Reading in 9 1/4 hours. Making it home in 8 hours!

calmone laughing about the amount of tequila I poured in to Mike's cup and Mike complaining about, but still drinking, it!

My two person tech session on re-building a set of front brake calipers (good to meet you Gary )

Seeing and speaking with alanscouse again!

The diversity of age and experience within the group is amazing




That's all for now, though I'm sure more will hit me soon.

Todd

Ok...let's see...

Pretty much the entire Saturday evening at the "round table". What a scream that was!

Sitting in the hotel lobby Saturday night with a handful of people until 4:30 in the morning pretty much watching John convince Karen to keep his hat and her frustration trying to convince him to take it back. All that over a hat? lol

Chris (GreenMarine) bidding against himself for the SVX neon sign...
Steve: "that's $100. Do I hear $110?"
Chris: "$110"
Steve: "We have $110. Anyone bid $120? Come on..."
Chris: Quickly looking about the room nervously..."$120!"
LMAO!!

Doug's relentless attitude. The man NEVER gives up...he kept cracking me up all night!

Tequila and Squirt...sounds questionable...tastes mmm mmm GOOD!

That's all for the moment...more to come I am sure.

Johnny

Yeah, we had our own little road rally too!!

The only difference was that it was maybe 5 miles long, on the same road the hotel was on, we were all in Todd's truck, and we KNEW where to go find the alcohol!!

We were ALL winners on that one!!

My Memories.... Hmmmmm....

--> Making it from Raliegh, NC to Denver, PA in about 7 hours
--> Getting laid by Kelli
--> Todd and I walking out to take Mike a "special drink"... Then Mike actually drinking it!!
--> Waking up at 6:30am Saturday morning to get nametags and seeing people out washing thier cars!!
--> Going to Wal*Mart w/ Mike to get nametags and breaking the windshield wiper off a SVX we saw in the parking lot.. Oops...
--> Climbing ontop of yet another truck to get a good Aeral Picture of the cars..
--> Running the Rally as fast as I could..
--> Getting airborne over the hill that mike thought I would in the rally... But most importantly getting the Video to Proove it!!
--> Chasing some SVXer's around the rally, and again getting the Video to proove it!!
--> Looking for what seemed like forever for a 6 pack of beer!!!
--> Videoing the last half of the bidding on the SVX sign
--> Bidding against myself for the sign ...


Yep those are my memories... Pretty fun time

Memories?

The awesome crossmember Subafreak made.

The Saturday Night "Round Table"

Watching Subafreak's face when he won the wipers.

Southern Comfort

Knocking on Randy's wall at all hours of the night.

Amanda... All I can say is "Damn! You are amazing!" Thanks for the memories

The sign auction.

The girls from the Frat Formal.

Oh, and the cars

Doug

Fun Fun Fun

This was my first, so everything was memorable! but lets see:

Beating the cr@p out of a Montero on the highway

Random babe taking pics of Car in New Jersey

New Jersey in general.(New England Convoy understands)

Scrambling around the back of John's(whats your online name again?) truck finding little goodies I need, and having him give them to me.

The whole round table experience

Jesse and the Elephant

Entertaining myself and the room by continuously pushing Mike over. The Antenna Tickler was amusing as well..

Benabob giving me 2 parts antenna's since my motor turned out to be fried

John's Engine Bay


Next time I'll bring more money. I made it home with no gas, and 5 bucks left over. scary.

Going on the scavanger hunt with Chris and Todd for more booze.

Kelli recruiting Chris and I to do her dirty work....right under GreenMarines nose.

Having Todd bow to me because I brought him a drink...where was the camera when I needed it?

Doug chasing me around the hotel and his cheesy pick up lines.

Watching Subafreak ride the elephant because Brad was too trashed to get over the fence.

Sitting around the big circle laughing so hard my cheeks hurt.

Ron's blinking "Available" hat

Mike stumbling around all weekend.

and everything else that happen over the weekend. I had a blast!!

Hehehehe, the more I think about it the more I realize that the Network is attracting more and more young people... Last year (I think) I was one of the youngest... I felt bad because I wasn't 21 yet... But this year all us young people really showed up and had a blast!!! It was great!!

Best memories, eh?

Getting lost again and again and again (New England Convoy!)

The McDonalds off exit 17 with the weird tire-delivery guy, the camera lady, and those messed-up u-turns!

The 35 cent tolls that appeared every 500 feet

The near miss 3 or 4 car accident just before we arrived

Zavikans dent getting larger

Chasing the Lamborghini


good times!


Dave
