Scott & John
Tonite was fun, it is nice to get together with fellow viper owners and watch the people do funny things when they see the Vipers. Pics look pretty good
i hope i can figure out how to post some.
Hey John did any of those motion photos by the mall turn out? Are we going to see any of those photos on the forum tonite? Did you see that charger next to me at the light take off like a bat out of hell. Wow he out ran a Viper if I had only known he wanted to race.
Scott Thanks again for dinner if I had known you were going to buy I would of ordered the big steak.

Did anyone notice that there were 3 Viper guys at this gettogether but only 2 Vipers present? Mr Avatarman keeps telling us he has a Viper but we still have not seen it. Hmmmmmmm? LOL

i have bad news rob. the battery in my camera was going dead and i could tell. all the pics i took are fuzzy. i dont think there was enough power to focus properly. i took quite a few pics of scotts prefix car on friday.

so, i guess we will just have to do it all over again! scott still pays, and this time you can order a STEAK! as kids we called it a "DO OVER"!

WHAT! I was sure you would have my new avatar up and running tonite! LOL
That's no problem I was hoping to take some shots of it tomorrow if it does not rain if that happens I will email them to you.
OH one other thing take an extra set of batteries with you maybe Scott can get you a little camera bag for your camera and you will have a spot for extra batteries.

 

[big-n-italian]

call me tomorrow if you go somewhere to take pics. I WANT ANOTHER CHANCE!!

this one turned out ok.

John
I was thinking after giving you some crap about batteries that it might not have been a battery problem but the light at that time of day was was just to low for the limited capabilities of the camera. I bet scott could sell you one of those that he had tonite. LOL

 

[Leslie]

very nice

Vipers look great too

 

[Mccarlin]

I wasnt aware of this "get together"

 

[big-n-italian]

I wasnt aware of this "get together"

Zdig, Jdoc, 94 vip, and myself are about (3) hours away from St Louis, and (3) hours away from Chicago. we have decided to take the initiative and form some kind of group down here in central Il for ourselves and anyone else interested who may not want to drive all the way to chi town or st louis. there are some great chapters in those towns, but it is just too far away sometimes. the formation of some kind of local group is what we have been discussing. there are alot of vipers around here, and alot of inactivity.

in the near future we will be announcing some events and get togethers that we are planning in 2007. anyone is invited of course. we enjoy going to the chicago meetings, and maybe sometime some of you can come down here occasionally. we have already decided that one weekend next year we are going to have a "photo day". there will be a small cruise, lunch, and then anyone attending will have the opportunity to have their picture taken, by a VERY professional photographer, with their viper, at a very attractive group discount price!

we will soon post info on this event and others that we have planned!

you are on my calendar jim! rain or shine, i want to say hello!

if there is good weather on the 17th, i would love to see a car show! if it rains, we will just keep buying pitchers of beer! but both weeknds are good for me. and remember coming home on leave, and i know you have alot of visiting to do - LMK when you have some free time! hopefully i can drive down in MY VIPER! (still not finished).

 

[JUCD VPR]

Man so when is it forecasted to be finished?
I think after the car show we will be going for a cruise and grabbing some lunch/beer.
I have my brothers house all to myself since he's overseas so if you decide you don't want to drive back after all the pitchers of beer, you have a place to stay. That goes for anyone else who wants to come down?

 

[big-n-italian]

<< Man so when is it forecasted to be finished? >>

i wish i knew. last year i drove my car 8k (?) miles. this year, maybe two hours. i'm sure it will be done the day before it snows.
