Evidently I've been on NICO for something like 13 years, and here I am, cresting 20,000 posts.
What do you say? What do you do?
I suppose the only thing TO do, is a NICO MONTAGE!!
Here's some pics of the achievements, work done, people met, cool stuff, and fun times I've had over the years. Somewhat chronological order.
Image
That time I was one of the first people in the US to go for a hell ride in a GTR.
Image
Had an in-depth conversation about scotch with Toby "the legend" Broadfield
Image
Watched James (#1) model... horribly.
Image
Image
Image
And had much, much better models
Image
That time I'm pretty sure we witnessed Wes' very first beer.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
That time Torry and I randomly drove to the edge of the continent... St. John's, Newfoundland and met up with John Newfoundlanddude
Image
Image
Image
That time me and the best girlfriend I've ever had broke up, fortuitously in time for an epic weekend in Savannah, GA, where I met a bunch of crazy bastards that didn't hesitate to cheer me up.
Image
Image
Image
Then ate some delicious sink fries.
Image
and spent the better half of the day in a bath tub with a few girls while hiding from a tornado (and fully believing Tim got struck by lightning)
Image
Image
Track cat
Image
Image
That time my friend tossed me the keys to his Corvette and told me to take it to Omaha and race the s*** out of it on the track.
Image
and I got to meet Ian, the Flyin Finn with the 240 rally car.
Image
That time I brought our rental corolla to the drift event at NICOfest carlisle.
Image
That time I hung out and talked Datsuns with Nakamura-san
Image
And Johann
Image
and got drunk with these sexy bishez
Image
all because Nissan liked this picture I took of Greg's roadster
Image
Became pretty darn good friends with these guys:
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


And watched this jabroni drive his car right into a fence:
Image

And the time I got to drive this beast:
Image
Image
And these beasts
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

I'm sure I've left a ton of people (and things) out, but oh well, that's what the next 20,000 are for.

And that my post count stalled out, HARD.

don't worry buddy, i saved your (still) rhode island number, so i can't confuse you with ray anymore. we never got the chance to really hang out, but we have spent hours chatting over nonsense. you're a cool dude, and i don't like many people. the next time you come back home, give me a heads up, i'll coordinate with kevin and mark so we can have an awesome grilling/beer time.

I don't remember what "Snooki's" shorts said, but I remember her shorts appeared sprayed on just like that orange tan she had. I didn't realize James got a shot of them, I lol'ed a lot when I saw that pic. An epic Carlisle memory. Job well done, James. :dblthumb:
