Our meet impressed the vwife and her and my daughter had a good time. I had planned on doing some real good mods to my car after seeing everyone's cars, but i probably will leave my TL as is. Fella's i got some news For all of you Just found out we're moving to JAPAN next year. Damn i'm kinda shocked, but happy too. I
will probably sell my TL next year. We don't have to be there untill JUNE 08. Damn it's gonna be on. I think i want a Supra or slightly older Skyline. Man i won't make NOPI next year, but i hope to make the Tokyo Auto Show they have every year there. We'll be living pretty close to TOKYO, so i hope it will be cool. We definantly have to have a few more meets before i roll out, so i can hang out some more with you guys, It was really a good time this year with good peple at NOPI this year.
Aw man Will. I don't know whether to be sad or to be jealous. Japan is a good look. I have been trying to get over there for years to visit. Congratulations. You seem very excited about it and that is really cool. Since the weather is looking so much better, how about we start that long awaited Mountain run talk? Maybe get in another picnic or stop at a big restaurant during the cruise? We'll have to do something.

Oh, and I am so proud to be an Acurazine member looking at these pics. You guys represented. I just hate that I wasn't able to be there (this year).

I didn't get to take many pics, but here is one I thought was cool.

Congrats on the relocation, Will! However, Hawaii would've been a better suit! I was in Japan in '01 and it was great! I wish I could go back again, but I need some serious dough for that place.

Also congratulations to Clinton, Steve, Henryk, and Eric for placing at the show!

Next Meet

Thanks cory and T, i am kinda nervous about going to Japan, but once i get there and get settled, i think it will be okay. I will be there for atleast 2 years, but probably for 3. I am looking forward to the next meet. A mountain run would really be cool. We just need to get it organized. Maybe we can have a meet next month.

Congrats to all the winners!

coakdog35: Sorry to hear your leaving. Japan will be awesome. We should keep in touch, because I plan on visiting in the next couple of years. You can show me around. You can also buy a badass JDM car. I'm so jealous.

dragonlord: Great pics. Could you send me some. I didn't take any pics. LOL.

We also need to setup a meet for this fall. The weather will be perfect. Mtn. run or just a bbq. I'm down.

I'm definantly down with a mountain run, BBQ or whatever. The wifey convinced me to keep my car and keep working on it. I will probably leave it in Orlando at her mom's house when we roll to Japan. I won't be able to make NOPI next year, but the one after that i may come back for and bring my car.

Hey whats goin on guys, just want to congratulate you on your trophies from the Legends that were on hand. I think we could have given you guys a better run for your money if we had gotten a better judge (judge looked at our window sticker and that was just about it.)

Out of curiosity, do you guys happen to know the models of the other winners that were listed for the legend/cl/tl/vigor class?

Don't know the 3rd place stock or any others. The judge at Atlanta was a joke. Didn't ask anything about the cars- I don't even think he knew what he was looking at. At the NOPI Detroit show, the judges ( none older than 30) asked all kinds of questions about your car. But I heard that judging in Atlanta is horrendous.

Do you have any pics of your group?

That is a question to be left unasked. The models backed out at the last minute, so Ron's rep had to scramble. We are already working on next year's models, aren't we guys?!

Nice pic in post #402.
My car was the 2nd red one from the front of that pic.
That was the largest turnout for NSX's ever at NOPI. I believe we had 15 total with 12 of them parked right there.
Previous years we were parked where you guys were this year.
Thanks for the compliment on us being nice. It is always nice to hear things like that about yourself and the group of folks you associate with.
