Any time one sees a convergence of forty rare things in one place the event takes on an almost biblical significance. My mind still boggles at seeing forty, count 'em, FORTY S2000s in one place. Hoo-Hah!

I had to leave early and did not stay for the last leg of the drive nor the dinner at Duke's (no relation). Nonetheless, I believe that I speak for all of the particpants when I say that the entire production was first rate. Great people, great cars, a great meeting venue, great course, and even nifty name tags. Really well done!

Let the record reflect that a good time was had by all.

Mike, thank you again for organizing such a fantastic gathering. Next time we need some organized Tech sessions (stereo, exhaust sounds, and the like).

It was great meeting all of you otherwise faceless on-line people.


So how do I go about posting some of the awesome photos I have of this gathering? The seemingly endless line of cars on PV drive is breathtaking.

Just got back from Malibu, mildly sunburned, well fed and definitely happy.

Indeed, wanabe and company did a terrific job putting on the event. Plentiful parking, organized routes, reserved tables and parking at dinner, even free Red Bull (that stuff isn't bad!).

I've got to say that these SoCal get togethers improve every time. 40 cars in Manhattan Beach, 25 at dinner! There is a real camraderie developing, and I'm an anti-social shut in, so if I think that, you know it means something.

Greetings again to my tablemates, Dean, Ann, Gloria, Duy and Matt and thanks again to all who set this up, great job! I expect that next time will probably be in Orange County to accomodate all the folks from that part of the state.

Hi Group,

First I would like to thank Wantabe (Mike) for hosting a great event. I think everyone had a great time and the weather just got better as the day went on. The drive around PV was fun, too bad we could not go faster.

Hey Penforhire, since PhotoPoint etc. are now charging for their site you can check out this free site.

http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/EpsonSignup

It's hosted by Epson and uses PhotoPoint as an engine and best of all there is no charge.

Can't wait to see the photo's and the video's.

See everyone at the next meet.

There were 40 S2000's and 1 NSX (but it was a 2000 model so he gets partial credit ) when we left Wanabe's house for the PV drive. I counted them just before we rolled.
