In fairness to myself, with the time constraints, I wouldn't've (wow, look at that contraction) done what Bum-Bling-B did. Sorry, these old peepers can't handle all that night driving. I had planned to spend the night around Orlando.

As far as equaling the only Saturn V night launch is concerned ... Hmmmm. hahaha
Do your homework. I've seen one shuttle
and three Saturn V's lift off. Shuttle is puny in comparison (literally half the rocket).

Still, it would've been a fantastic cap to a 2 week vacation.

Oh, yeah, that is my video.

I got to meet alot of the people that I like to read on this forum and it was great to put the faces with the names!

Great job of organizing and I was sorry that I couldn't go to the picture or the drive, but my daughter and I had reservations we had to go to.

Thanks to everyone involved with the meet, it was a fantastic success!!!

: :woohoo
YES indeed Karen it was good to see you come out. I had fun time laughing and joking with you. I hope to see you around at the next big smart meet.

PS - I thought you were going to the photo shoot too and had read the directions to get there. That is why I followed you right into the parking lot before I discovered you weren't. DOH!

What was worse was when I left the parking lot about 20 cars were behind me and I was in the lead without a clue where to go as I was hoping to follow someone else not lead. Needless to say - once again I am lucky.

I did tear up my exhaust coming home. My left hanger weld tore a hole right in the pipe about 40 miles from home. I need to come up with a fix for that. Guess it can't handle extended times of 85+ mph cruising.
I had to pull over because I was in the same situation as you....didn't know where I was going and my gps stand was hung up under my driver's seat so I had to make a quick get away and try to untangle it! when I looked up, I saw you... then all of a sudden I didn't....

I'd hate to be the "unexpected" leader going to ....... WHERE?????????

Great day meeting you, babybenz and wdwitch, saw cubefx & kwagar too!!!!

THANK YOU KEN!! I'll PM my email.

Karen - that's too funny as I was trying to get my GPS power wire out from under the dash where I stowed it.

If you were willing to part with $55 or more you could of had a cherry picker photo. I REALLY wanted one but the gas going down and back broke me - really it did as my allotted amount was spent since I only got around 34-35 mpg heading down and back - I did get 44mpg around town down there.

It was a "one time offer" so I missed out on the wait until my next payday to spend part of my "allowance" on getting one (married people know what I mean). Using my credit card is not an option either.
