Default Victoria is no more!

Hello everyone, I know some of you know me from my time there in South Florida as the ORIGINAL DANCING GRINGO!!!

Just wanted to fill you guys in on a development. Today I said good-bye to Victoria, my 2002 NFR S2000.

It has been 6.5 years and a lot of memories and friends!!! But the time had come to let her go to a new home and for me to move on to something different. Not sure what that might be at this time, but I will let you know when the decision is made. Didn't want to get all sappy here, but just wanted to say thanks to all my friends in S. Florida, you certainly made the experience of owning a car like this, a great experience! Although some of us have moved to new places in the country we will all still be friends.

I wish you all continued good luck and good fortune with everything you do and remember the car brings you together, but the people make the friendship!!

I hope to see you all at future events and hope you will still associate with me no matter what I drive!

Looking forward to a future trip back to S. Florida and would definitely like to catch up with all of you. Keep the Mojitos on ice!!

Take care, drive safe, and KEEP V-TECing!!!

Your friend on the road,

Deiger

Although we've never met wish you good luck I know you're one of the founding fathers of the SF Forum. Some times life makes us make choices that are more important than a car; I for one have made the decision of selling some of the cars I loved dearly. But the fact you may not own an S in the future shouldn't make you a Stanger to the forum, we need more people like you help educate us newer members. There has been a massive self imposed exile by many good people and all it does is to hurt us as a community. I hope you visit us some times.

It's sad to see her go, Matt. We missed you at the Dragon, btw.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments.

Renderman: Patient and tolerance I feel always goes a long way. The thing I loved about S. Florida was the diversity. Everyone is different; different ideas, ways of thinking and doing things; but that is what was exciting to me. I always learned to appreciate and respect those around me and I had the time of my life!

Di: Sorry, couldn't make it to the Dragon this time. Obvious reason with selling the S. But would definitely will go again with my new ride, what ever it is.

Kimmie: Oh it be so, my little Hershey syrup girl. Just ready to move on to something different. Call it being bored, thrill was gone, not sure; but I feel this was the right thing to do.

I will definitely pop my head in every once in a while to say hi.
