Did you miss anything at the 'Meet? hmmm... let's see:
- Drexel (drex) takes EVERYTHING apart -- including high-priced cars and motorcycles.
- (Not to spread any nasty rumors, but Drexel also has a heart of gold. It took him a total of 45 seconds to notice my dog is a "special needs" pet and ask about her treatment, medicines, and so on.)
- Eric (eKaz) STILL has not given us the keys to his show-stopping 4.8, which we had annointed as the grand prize. (And, it's STILL not a truck.)
- Eugene (TQ2K) -- the "quiet one" -- has a great eye for pictures. And, a VERY unique X5.
- JV (JVZ104) will never again go to Craig's List to find a ride share partner. He's also got that certain "je ne se qua." He simply emits "cool"!!
- Kevin (PNG) "flies stealth" even when making a phone call (blocks his number). I just KNOW that one day I'll go to CA, drive up to see him, and he'll show up with a "Hello Kitty" mask on his face.
- David (motordavid) -- with his commanding voice and all -- recommends retirement to anyone!
- Rob (Rob_) (who has two teenagers but does not look a day over 25, by the way) can replace a X5 steering wheel in less than 10 minutes.
- Alain (alpac) is incredibly charming and witty -- not an easy feat for a Frenchman.
- Jeff (UCrew) once had an authentic arcade game trucked to his house by one of his managers -- in Ohio. "It's good being the boss," he was reportedly qouted as saying.
- Kevin's (NCX) wife, Candice, knew as much -- if not more -- about our Xs than we did.
- T John (tijanaw) will someday be the head of the UN. And a good thing, too; someone's gotta fix that mess over there.
- Phillip's (pepatrick) son will never, EVER own a can that does have a roundel adorning its hood. Oh yeah, he's a mod freak (Phillip, not his son... though, that is limited only by the fact that he's what, eight years old?).
- EVERYONE at the meet was wonderful, warm, and caring. What a tremendous, classy, intelligent, and generous group of people.
We had a wonderful time at the meet, and a great dinner that night (though we could have used a couple of extra coats.
)
Aside from that, you did not miss much.
