PA DE NJ NY MD car show meet - Kahunaville

[Jumpnugly]

It was great to meet all of you today. How cool was it all of us riding around together? Too bad our parked VX's were out of the flow of foot traffic at the show.

Took me about five hours and fifteen minutes to get home with one stop for gas. VERY glad I decided to go. Let's do it again!

[WormGod]

I really would have loved to have gone. I hope to see pics!!

I see folks were willing to travel for this, which is a very positive sign for us mid atlantic VXers. If any are willing to travel (and granted I can actually keep my license after my recent ordeal), we should have one of those weekend beach campouts (or hotel if you prefer) at Assateague Island, Md. Just throwing a possible next hook up in the pipeline if any are interested. Driving, cooking, drinking, and having a great ime on the beach are just a small part of the fun.

To everyone who made it today... thanks!
To everyone who didn't ...

Everything was in our favor! Good people! Great weather! Kick butt cars! Good food!

Sorry we didn't get more members this round, but that certainly doesn't mean it wasn't a success.

Highlights:
The VX convoy to Delaware.

The Ferarri 360 on the car carrier

The GTO Judge

The rest of the 'rods and classics ;Dr;

The DeLorean

The return trip VX convoy passing a pack of Harleys rolling up 202 North at the end of the day.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!
Glad you made it home safe Sam!

Talk at y'all real soon!
Pat

It was definitely cool to meet up with you all !
And we couldn't ask for a better day, maybe just a little cooler.

Props to Spike for starting it all up!
Good to hear you made it home safe as well Sam!

I put an e-mail request to add a photo gallery for the meet, hopefully that'll be up soon(?). Got some nice pics to post!

Until next time !

curious .....
.
what was the average cruising speed on the highway ? ........
.

[Spike]

For the Convoy, anywhere from 35 - 55 Mph... mostly slow since it was a business route at that point.

For highway, talk to Sam and Eckstream.

[t2p]

.....
the reason for the curiosity ....
.
with the short gearing, the 3.5 is really humming at 75 mph and over ......
.

[Spike]

I find it drives comfortably at 75 and even 85.
I just keep it in drive, and power button activated.

My grandfather passed away so I spent the day consoling my family. I hope the day went great for everyone. It was the prettiest day so far this year.

So what was the final count anyway??? I lost track with everything that happened last week.

[Spike]

Oh no!

I am so sorry to hear about that.

I just lost my grandfather back in February... so I can totally understand what you may be going through.
That was the hardest thing I have ever had happen in my life.

Nothing can ever be said to make the pain go away.

All I can do is encourage you to keep your family and friends close. And reflect on the good memories you have had with him over the years. I am still having my moments, it is not easy.

We are all here if you need us.


As for Sunday, the final count for our gathering was 5... 1 Foxfire, 2 Kaiser, 2 IronMan.

When you are ready, you let us know and we can put something else together...

[Jumpnugly]

Sorry for your family's loss, VX_PA. This was a great group of people that should definately plan to get together again.

If you guys are ever up for a gathering in the Pittsburgh area, let t2p and I know. I'm sure one of us could identify a venue.

[Spike]

Quaker Steak & Lube!!!

[Jumpnugly]

Wings and biker night!

[VX_PA]

Yeah, biker babes. That could take my mind off of things.

Thanks all for your kind words, it sounds like everyone had a great time.
