Well, here's the OFFICIAL thread! NOPI 2006 can best be summed up by Greg's motto (and I think NICO's new slogan):

GO BIG, OR GO HOME.

NOPI was, quite simply, NICOwned. Over 100 NICO cars, multiple NOPI award winning cars, a ridiculous amount of stuff both given away (over 900 posters and untold thousands of stickers\tattoos\tagging cards), and sold (t-shirts like hotcakes). Over 300 hamburgers and 200 hotdogs were grilled and consumed FREE for NICO members, local law enforcement, and other cool people. I personally had at least 15 people come up to me and say "Man, you guys sure do this stuff right."

I had to leave before the NOPI awards ceremony, and can't remember for sure who won all the NICO awards - we'll wait for Torry or Greg to post all that info up. We have an absolute crapload of pictures, but here are two pictures to whet your apetitties. Ahem.

Alisha was FANTASTIC. The most popular of the models, hands down. If I had a dollar for every picture we had to stop and take while we were walking, I wouldn't have to work another day in my life.

Ok, here are a few of mine. The ones outside suck. Apparently I had a setting wrong on the borrowed digi-cam.

The hatch before:

The hatch with 1,000 NICO shirts on the way to NOPI!

A few of the rowdies before we got into the Steakhouse

Inside the Steakhouse:

amolao's pignose hatch, quite possibly the nicest piggy I have ever seen in person. It also took Runner-Up in best 240:

The winning 240 was this one:

Winning Sentra with a VQ35 swap:

Runner-Up:

Prizewinners:

audtatious taking the Paul Souder Spirit Award for the year from Dan:

NICOmom drawing for tires with Chet and Alisha:

I've got more, but they'll have to wait a minute or ten. What a riot.

the fact that she didn't treat you like you had puke on your shirt certainly helped.

Super nice girl.

I'm gonna leave her positive feedback!

I'll clean all those up for you once you get the full-res ones uploaded, Andyman. It's easy to fix.

Edit: I fixed your broken image tags too, you noob.

I say "hey, Id hit it" so much that all my freinds put it in their SR memories in the year book, I guess I just find myself finding many a girl bone-able, and the ones I dont, A few beers later I will.
