I'd rather stab myslef in the eye with a glow stick.

ALRIGHTY then! :confused:

:laugh: :rolf: :laugh: ...or drown in the foam pit

[glagola1]

... or suffocate in a wet t-shirt.

[S2k Dude]

I'm not sure if I want to go, maybe if I were able to hang out with Wendy and Dave it might be more fun...

:D I was going to see if you could drive us down there:D

[s2kjones]

:D I agree, the whole "show car" seen doesn't make much sense to me...it never did. It's still fun to see though, kind of like going to the circus

[glagola1]

I guess the last two years of it were enough for one lifetime. I much prefer things like the BMW museum in SC. That's real.

If I see another altezza clad cavalier I swear I will go into a deep depression.

Bass music gives me a massive headache anyway.

[s2kjones]

[tamara16]

Yes David unfortunately Lee is correct it does all end at 10pm on Saturday night but you can still make it on Saturday as the business meeting will only be for a few hours Saturday morning.....

[wpriller7]

Just wanted to let you know that the races will be ending Saturday evening.
Teams will be coming in on Wednesday with practise and time trials up until Friday. They will be running some SCCA races on Friday, with some other events going on. On Saturday they have the Panoz Celebrity race before the PETIT LEMANS that starts' around 11 or 12. The race with the ALMS Prototypes and modified production cars is the main event that goes for 10 hours.:drive:

Thanks for pointing that out.

I guess I need to have that fixed.:D

[JTaylor]

I will be going on Sunday to NOPI to test drive the cars at the BFG display. :)

[WebGod]

I'm undecided on which day I'm going.

Actually, I haven't fully made up my mind about going either.... :D

[moyopoyo]

i'll be there on saturday. a few of my friends from houston will be showing and/or visiting.

...and it's gonna be my birthday :D

Or you could just go test drive a car at Rick Case dealership at Gwinnett Place Mall, they are giving away free tickets to NOPI this weekend to all who test drive a car.....

[ToniG]

If they have any left.....Aaron and I went lastnight and and they said they had none left. He went to one manufacturer and I to another to possibly get 4 tickets. Mitsubishi and Mazda had none left. Though my sales guy asked the Manager after asking everyone else and he pulled 2 from his personal stash. That was Mazda. Good luck! :) I drove a silver RX-8 with red/black leather interior for a 2nd time....I want it, I want it! Sweet ride.

[suzukasue]

I thought you were gonna get an s2000 Toni?

[Aaron]

she thinks it's unnecessary for us to have 2 S2k in the same garage -- You'll have to work on her Wendy.....though a 4 door sports car to hit the mountains when Morgan is with us would be fun

[ToniG]

I thought you were gonna get an s2000 Toni?
I'd love to have one but 1) we need a 4 seater for when Morgan is with us or someone else, right now the only way we can all ride together is in my 240 2) I've been looking at the RX-8 since it came out and love it, I can have a sporty car and it seats 4 3) I don't think it makes sense to have two S2's unless we have a 3rd family car which we will eventually but now right away 4) not in the serious market for a new car just yet because having to save funds for it

I'd love to have an S to drive whenever I want but we need more room right now.

[1SICKLEX]

SELOC will be there, we have the whole Black C section. We'll have about 5 tents up. Stop by and say hello!

Mike

[Aaron]

now I've got tickets, I wonder how the weather will hold out

[F8d2Blk]

Wow that is not a cheap ticket. I am working and won't make it. I hope to free up my weekends next year.:o

Ok, I think this will be the last year at NOPI for me.....I'm getting to old for this sh!t.

I'd rather slit my wrist with a broken Alteza tail light
I'd rather let a hydraulic truck dance on my skull
I'd rather die of Asphyxiation during a burn out contest


....same ol'played out crap



A and T, sorry we didn't make it back to you. I tried calling, but my phone was screwed up.

[Aaron]

Had similar feelings ourselves, though I'll go again if I can get free tickets again.
Nothing stood out as particularly memorable thuough i did like the K-1 Attack

did get to see one of the 240 drift cars smack a concrete barrier. knock it into a fence, and take 3 people out (minor injuries)

I kind of saw that one coming. Though we didn't actually see it happen, I told Wendy that it would happen. There was a total lack of experience there. There was also total lack of safety for the crowd. ...Bummer!:(

For me NOPI was a "been there done that" type of show. Once was enough, even with the free tickets that were posted I did'nt care to make the round trip to and from AMS.

[ToniG]

This was my first time to NOPI. It was fun but don't think I'd go again unless the tickets were free either. I think I'm too old for that $#@* myself. With the heat, water costing $3.50, undiserable food with outrageous prices, neither of us had cash and I'm too cheap to pay that even if we did, not being used to walking all day(10:00-7:00) and had to make several trips to the car for water. I think it would have been more fun split between two leisurely enjoyed days rather than a full day of heat and walking. Saw some cool stuff but like A, the only really cool thing was the K-1 Attack. Now I can say I've gone....yay! What I enjoyed most about it was time with my honey!

[glagola1]

Man, reading these posts remind me of what I said last year when I got back from NOPI. Fortunately, I remembered these these sentiments and they saved me from certain annoyance. I was able to have some fun this weekend. Rock on.

... and down with altezzas.http://www.s2katlanta.com/%7Es2katl/forum/images/smilies/grinning-smiley-003.gif

Aaron and Toni - I'm sorry we couldn't find you after we parted ways. We went to the Bridgestone thinger and got signed up, but once we got in line, the line never moved! It didn't move once in 20 minutes! Finally David and I left and went back in the show. There were interesting cars and stuff there (Learner'sPermit was there too!) and we got to see and S2000 with a roll cage on it that David liked. Other than that, we had enough and we headed out in the early afternoon. It's unfortunate what happened with the Battleground drifting event. David told me that one of those guys was going to end up in a wall before the day was done. He was right....and it sucks that people got hurt as a result.
I didn't take any pictures this year. Did you or anyone else have pictures of anything interesting from the show?

[Dewain27]

I ended up going yesterday and took pictures of all the interesting things that I saw.... The pictures are posted below:







yeah that was about it....

Did you or anyone else have pictures of anything interesting from the show?No problem Wendy(and Dave)...it was a big place, I was surprised we ran into a few of you at all. We did the same thing, after signing up and getting in line we decided we didn't want to wait an hour or two to drive the bridgestone cars. We didn't bring a camera but Aaron put a link to the one thing we really thought was cool...the K-1 Attack, check it out.
