First Morro Bay Sightings

Gerd
Of course Mary and Kirk would want him in the parade.
The phrasing just seem to fit the picture and circumstance

Hey guys sounds like you all had a fantastic time. But who won the SPEEDSTER BADGE?

I'm glad everyone made it home safe and sound. Good luck Dusty and the LMS on the rest of your way home and on to Carlisle. Thanks for all your hard work. It was a keeper. I would be the lucky one to have won the badge. Thanks so much David, it's our first one and it looks great. If it's not positioned right, let me know. It's just sitting there until I take the grill off. My A-1 exhaust arrived yesterday, so I am under the car for awhile.

SOCers, Totally jealous of what a funtastic weekend you all had, it is going to be hard to match or better this one, glad to see everyone made it home safely, hope I don't have to work next year?
Cabanaboy ~ BTW ~ D.J.ed to more than 300 divas(gorgeuos woman)at the H.B. Hyatt perfect So. Cal weather(bikini's everywhere)partying into the next day, I had a great weekend too!!

I want to thank all involved as well. This is a great group and an amazing meet.

Mary and I add our thanks to everyone for a great weekend - super people, weather, setting, roads, drives, etc.....thanks to Dusty and Sharon for organizing!!!
.
I took a couple (couple hundred!) photos which are shared on shutterfly - http://www.rickjspyder.shutterfly.com
.
looking forward to next time - Rick/Mary

Very nice pics!!!!!!! Wish I could have joined the group.

Gabe

Wow, great pics Rick, loved the seals and the squirrel!

WOW!! Was that a great road-trip OR WHAT?!!

I will work on the pics and videos we took and try to get an SOC Morro Bay video posted later on this week. Those are some great pics posted by Rick, Troy, Roy and others that really capture the comraderie and fun we had this past weekend. The weather along the coast was incredible. It's also amazing how so many people from diverse backgrounds and location can get along so well and have a great time hanging out!

Thanks to Dusty & Sharon and others involved for all your time & effort in setting this up. I will gladly help with next year's event.

I am looking forward to seeing our East coast SOC contingent at Carlisle in a few weeks and at the National in Colorado later this fall!

Peace - Out!

Jim,
was beginning to worry about you bud, hadn't heard a word...

Thanks for organizing the so cal run to the bay...turned out well I thought, wish I was feeling better, I know I wasn't my usual obnoxious self.....

Here are just a few pics we took at Morro Bay this past weekend. I'll post more in the video/CD/DVD under development...

Warren White That badges looks great on your new louvered deck lid!
Wish I could have gone but was happy to donate!

David -

That was VERY generous of you to donate those badges for the cause! You do an awesome job on those. They were a hit and the most sought after prize in the gift exchange. Wish you could have made it, so hopefully we'll see you the next time around!

Peace - Out!

Vince -- I did "share album" on shutterfly, but sent the email to myself. From the email I copied the link and pasted it into my posting. for the link to work put http:// in front of it (don't use www.)

Can't wait to see the pics!

Jen

I had a great time this year.
Weather was perfect as well as the company.
The motel was a little basic but it evened out having that awesome liquor store across the street.
Helluva job, Dusty and Sharon!
Blake and Jen, you two are a great addition to this group.
Fast Eddie, terrific road tour. If the locals complain we'll blame it on the North/South group.
Vince, you sure look cute in that twinkie Ghia........
Gerd, did you get your visor back?

Thanks again for the great weekend.

terry yes to the visor
where did u leave to so early?

Vince, You silly savage..............
The link still doesn't work.
I get an error message at the Shutterfly site.

vincent

Damn it...try this one

Tres Cool...

Let me know if this link works....
Oh, Terry, Perhaps that's why my hips swivel just a taste when I first get out of the Ghia...I was wondering what that was...

Gerd,
I left early so I could spend four hours fixing my car on the side of the road.
It was my intention to get over Pacheco Pass before it got too warm.
I'm afraid Murphy was riding with me.
All fixed, though.
Thanks again for your help, Eddie.

Vince:

Both of those links work for me.....BTW: I'm running a Mac.

Hope you and the Missus are feeling better....not a lot of fun having the crud when on a holiday.

Really nice shots, too, from all of you folks!!

Thank you Gordon, we are both feeling 100% percent better....
I tried not to let it ruin my weekend, lets just say it hampered my alcohol consumption considerably....Still went thru a bottle of OBAN in a matter of minutes hanging out in the hotel parking lot....
The SOC has a few members who appreciate the good stuff.....

Terry N. sorry to hear you had a problem heading North, my Twinkie purrrrred all the way home....It was good seeing you again....

I have been a member of a number of car clubs over the years, and I don't want to get all sappy, but I gotta say, this group is tighter than a gnats ass sitting on a lemon wedge...

Oh I am SOOO going to make sure you get a group hug next time I'm at a get-together!!

Gonna take pictures too ya big softie!

angela

Ahhh, Vince you old softie~I love it. I agree, I have been a member of a few diffrent clubs and have never felt such a tight bond, it is really nice. By the way your pictures are really great, and they are very clear, what kind of a camera did you use?

Glad you and blondy are feeling better! Nothing like the crud.

david where did you get those badges?

Thank you all for a Really Great weekend! It was
the Best!

Although I missed at least 1/2 of the fun due to engine fire in my coupe, it was a great weekend while it lasted for me. I met great folks, now I can't wait until next year

Well, we finally made it home to Colorado. No problems for the rest of the trip and got home to nice weather. Today, however, we hear that they closed the high mountain pass due to heavy snow! Whew! We just made it. The cars are cleaned and we are getting things in order for our trip to Carlisle. The Lovely Miss Sharon cannot wait.
I am eager to see if they can even begin to have as much fun as we had in Morro. Plans are already being made for next year. I will keep you posted. Here are some pictures as promised ....

Happy Trails,
Dusty and the Lovely Miss Shaaron

Glad to hear you made it home without any further hitches, Deadshot!
And a Bon Voyage to you two on your eastward trek.
As far as having fun goes, if I remember right you have a go-cart crown on the line. Ya better watch out cause I hear Hotfoot Norma is a gunnin' fer ya!

~WB

Bill,
I was kind of hoping that my Go-cart triumph would just go down in history as the "mysterious cart racer from the west". Now I find I feel like the top gun with everyone warming up their .45 Colt and getting ready for the challenge! OK, I'll warm up my lead foot and try to make the cheering Lovely Miss Sharon proud (or greatly amused laughing at my embarrassing loss). See you soon!

Happy Trails,
Dusty and the dubious Miss Sharon

Dusty and LMS,
So glad to hear you missed the snow storm! Good luck on your trip to the east!

Dusty,

Congratulations on your go-kart title - but you better drive your boots off this year if you want to retain it.

There is a ringer in your midst.

angela

Dusty,

Can't stop thinking about it...How did you levitate that piece of foil? Okay, so you probably won't tell us, but will you make a video and post it? On second thought, don't do that, maybe it won't be the same if I see it sober.

Jen

Jen,
Ask Mark Patty about it. I floated a napkin over the dinner table last year at Paso Robles and he tells me he has lost sleep over it since then. (LOL ... maybe I should have the "evil" horns that Vince wears!)

Happy Trails,
Dusty and the smiling Lovely Miss Sharon
