E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
Wow what a day! Still laughing about a few memorable moments.

1. Thank you to Jay and his friends for the music. That was super cool and you are one of the coolest guys I have ever met. Sorry it took so long to get it going. I need to tell you the story about the 91 octane gas that I avoided getting you. We didn't want your records to get a high octane boost. LOL for you guys that heard that blond moment for me. <3

2. Chris what can I say honey? You have never let me down and are so full of life. You are so much fun to be around and are one of the funniest guys I have met. Thank you for leaving your mad banker skills behind to fix the Q. Thank you for standing in the sun and getting a BBQ facial to feed all of us. Tell your sweet friend Hi again and send me that poll picture of you. LMAO... only you! Muah <3 The Noble rocks!

3. Mark thank you for the BBQ and juice for the music. Thank you for extending your home to so many people. Tell Steve's friend thank you for taking us to the store while you washed my car. That was way to kind and I was stunned. You dog was sooooooo cute. Most of all thank you for bringing your neighbor with his SLR so I could drive it. I am going to post some pic this morning.

4. Ling thank you for being the token camera guy. You take great pics and never complain about being the one to do it. Thank you for your help putting this together at the end. Hey guys Ling told me he didn't get a pic of me driving the SLR cause I was going to fast. LMAO...you know guys when you get that chance you gotta drive it like you stole it.

5. You are all welcome and I hope you had fun. Sorry it took so long to get started with the fussy BBQ and lack of 89 octane. Once it did Jay and Chris made the party come to life with their mad skills. It was cool meeting those of you for the first time, and very cool to see my old friends. I miss you guys and wish we could do this more often. Jangy you are a cool cat. Vic you are a sweetheart and I loved hanging out with you.

I had a blast racing Vic with some of you. Mark and Suanne said they heard us race a couple of miles away from the picnic benches they were sitting on. I also had a blast taking the other ones of you to Home Depot and the gas station. I agree with you Sean and Sun I better set up a trust fund for brake pads and rotors. That car is off the hook with power. Evosport really built me a dream car! You guys saw and heard my car yesterday can you imagine it with NOS? Does anyone sell life insurance? LOL Thank you for all the car props guys. I am going to post the pic of the four of us lined up.

Mine and Suanne's favorite part of the day was when I was driving the SLR and Vic yelled hit it. You don't need to twist my arm and I drove it like I stole it. That was F-in hot!

Well done all around...great turnout and it was great to meet some new folks as well as see some old faces. I'm just shocked that after all this time, I still run into rides that make act like a little skewl grrrl at first sight.

Holler when the next gtg is in order...and who knows...I may just show up there too. Thanks for letting me crash this one.

No problem at all.

I managed to get one pic of you in the car but deleted it because it was just bleh. You already had the pedal to the floor before I could ask you and your friend Sueann to pose. So which car is faster? Yours or the SLR?
