We'd be honored to have you join us, Vadster. I used to hold S200 rallies three or four times a year up Angeles Crest Highway, a very scenic mountain road with lot's of challenging twisties, and BBQs in my backyard afterward. On 7/11/04, about 80 s2ki people joined us, We had about 60 S200s parked on my street, It was an amazing, colorful sight. They came from as far away as Luxembourg and Honk Kong, as well as from all over the US and Canada. vtecmom (Gina) was part of a large group that drove down from the Seattle area. We set up easy ups in our backyard and ate bratwurst, Korean BBQ, and lots of other tasty food. The beer flowed. People organized California vacations around my rallies and BBQs. Mom's annual BBQ continues that tradition. People come from all over the US and Canada. Mom puts up several people in her large house and her trailer in Beaumont, including me and Mrs. Raptor (Anne Marie) and she helps others with local accommodations. Last year I drove zdave86 to the Palm Springs airport for his flight back home to Orlando, FL. Some people stay for days at Mom's place and swim in her pool. Mom's husband, C6 (Skip) BBQs hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs, and pulled pork. It's wonderful! We always do a big breakfast the next morning. Everyone has a great time. We 're a really tightly knit group. Mom is an incredible hostess, Vadster, you should consider a summer California vacation wrapped around Mom's BBQ. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience.

That was a lot of work. I organized a group to help me clean up afterward. I was so tired I couldn't move. I just sat and watched them do it. It was great fun, though, except for Paul hitting e rock, losing control, and going 500 yards down the embankment with his GF, and totaling his car, prompting La County Sheriff Montrose Search and Rescue to respond Remember the helicopter? Fortunately, no one was hurt. I ended swapping out my torn seat for his seat at a junkyard. I repaid him with a radar detector. Last I heard, he owns a restaurant in Orange County. He was a good guy an a Trojan -- USC grad. I'll tell you about our mutual s2ki friend who was on that rally and was tragically killed doing something stupid in his S shortly thereafter, leaving behind a wife and baby girl, tomorrow.
