If you want to get real technical Ive only talked to handful of members here because of going deaf last year around this time. Dont talk much right now, during my last surgery my doctor hit the nerve in my face that controls muscle movement of my mouth. Its slowly coming back, but def. not as good as it was. Its just taking a while, I knew this was a possibility going into surgery.BusyBadger wrote:Technically, you've never talked to them if you've only PM'ed them.tigersharkdude wrote:6 days left.

Glad that you're going to make it down.
If I still have it, I will bring a small dry erase so I can have some fun with youtigersharkdude wrote:Thats usually how it goes at nico meets. I just wanted to kind of let everyone know whats up before we all get down there
Thanks for the "support" everybody. It does mean a lot, Ive found it very hard to find people who are willing to meet me halfway, if you get what Im saying
Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple of weeks about the event. I was out of the country and had pretty limited internet access. Just got back to the states less than an hour ago!ChattCompDoc wrote:Welcome to NICO !!!! You picked a perfect event to come to.
There may be another GTR from our neck of the woods. But none of the club members have said anything yet.
I will look forward to meeting you and seeing a great vehicle such as yours in person.
<---not so young guy too. Everybody is sharing their passion for cars here. We all have that in common. I have never felt uncomfortable during a NICO event. Well...maybe I did when purple drank was involved. I think Cory was involved as well ...but I am sure that was the only time!undyingtron wrote:I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you and having a lot of fun this weekend.

Brad. I remember you from my last visit to Nashville 09. I look forward to seeing you again. All friends, no worriestigersharkdude wrote:I can read lips decently, but if its important please write to me....I do keep a white board or pen and pad of paper with me most of the time
That's about the time I hope to be there. I'll be passing through Lexington around 2PM.EZcheese15 wrote:I'm planning on driving down to Chicago Thursday after work then to Fontana on Friday. I'm going to try to get on the road by 7am from Chicago, so hopefully I'll be down to NC by around 6 or 7 pm.
I might have you both beat, not sure. I'm older than Greg/Hitman though.gmac708 wrote:<---not so young guy too. Everybody is sharing their passion for cars here. We all have that in common.

I'm not actually that old... I was just feeling old when I wrote my post. I'm 42 going on 29, or that is what I like to tell myself. My real is Dean and I will be bringing the other half with me. Her name is Lynne.gmac708 wrote: <---not so young guy too. Everybody is sharing their passion for cars here. We all have that in common. I have never felt uncomfortable during a NICO event.

So it turns out I won't be driving down in the All-trac. The engine went today. Rings are shot.bublightyear wrote:I'll be another of the 'young at heart' crowd if I get the g back in time
had to replace a wheel, and I'm not sure if they will have it repainted by the weekend. The dragon was not as fun in the jeep as when we went on the bike but cant wait to try it in the g.

So I picked up a '98 Metro tonight to get me by until I can rebuild the engine in the Celica. So I'll be sporting that down to the gap. But I think I'll leave that parked at the hotel and ride shotgun with my friend in his FC to lead the pack.
Wow. A hammer? Geesh. It's funny how this negative stuff always happens to everyone a day or two before a big car trip.tigersharkdude wrote:For a few minutes there on Monday, I didnt think I was going to be able to make it. Someone hit my windshield with what looked like a hammer when my mom and I went out to lunch on monday. Luckily she paid for a replacement, I will just pay her back over the next few months
Yeah, no kidding. 2 days ago if you would have told me my Celica engine would be toast and I would be buying a 3 cylinder Metro to drive down to NC in, I would have laughed :/maxentropy wrote:Wow.

Well, anyone that had any foolish ideas about time-attacking The Dragon will certainly be disappointed.tigersharkdude wrote:Also, Labor Day events at the dragon:

I don't have a CB but I plan on bringing a two way radio to keep in contact with other drivers for the weekend. Anyone else planning on doing the same?maxentropy wrote:Heading down there tomorrow morning so the wife and I can take our time getting there. Will have the CB on channel 3 for anyone who is traveling down Thursday or Friday. Taking mostly 81S-- but hopping on Skyline Dr for a bit.
Callsign "Max" on the CB.
