Since I can't be there, I'll just stand here at the door...Welcome to Carlisle...check in right below. Thanks and have fun!

Rich:

Not being there also, I'll join you.

I am in Intercourse at this writing...will be in Carlisle tomorrow evening about 5:00....will call Jimbo in the morning...

VINCE If I didn't know that a city named Intercourse actually existed I'd be very concerned for you right now... Remember play nice.. you and Jimbo have to represent for all us SOC folk here in So Cali...

David.
The only reason I am going is so the East coasters don't get the wrong impression about the West coasters from Jim and Vince.

That's why Steve and I went two years ago - guess we called THAT wrong - LOL!

Alright Vinnie quit F'n around and get your butt over here before Jim drinks all the beer.

Thanks Troy, but who the hell said YOU were normal... LOL.. I crack myself up... No seriously Troy thanks for going out there and keeping it honest..


Speedster "D" just keeping it real!

Vince dont pick up a wrench and enter the dark side

OMG.. At this point I'll just pray you "All" don't insult the West Coast"!

So far...no harm done.

Jim is the ultimate gentleman.

And Vinny...is Vinny! Which is a very good thing!

Vinnie went to bed early tonight. East coast partying still going on.....what's the big deal? Vince is ok by me.

There are some hard-core guys here in the East...Was up drinking past midnight, usually getting up about that time for my first pi$$ call..

Home from Carlisle. Had to come home a day early for a Wedding.
I really hated to miss all the activity Saturday, but still had a really great time. I enjoyed meeting eveyone for the first time and my expectations of the folks in the group were exceeded by a country mile. Not going to mention names, (I might leave someone out) but thanks to every one for sharing information and being willing to help a newbie out. Most of all thanks to those who organized and coordinated the event, (ok a couple of names thanks Bruce, Norma and Alan. Already looking forward to next year!

Hey Carl, only went the wrong direction one time!!!!!!

I have the strangest feeling that the Vinnie that was here is like our cars, a replica. The Vinnie that spent the week end with us East Coasters was sweet and kind, the type that kisses babies and pets little animals. If this is the real Vince Manto then Theron needs to remove the horns from his happy face and put a halo there instead. What a guy, heart as big as the world. Thanks West Coasters for letting us get to know him. I'm proud to say he's a friend of mine.


ps: Don't believe a word he says in his next post.

Damn it Nolan, I knew I shouldn't have come here. Now I have to start all over again..Theron, do not touch my horns, I promise to earn them back.........

Thanks for posting the You Tube, Troy. It was greatly appreciated by me, the unofficial greeter, at this year's gathering!

It was great to see you again Vince. Seven years is too long a time. And yes, Nolan got it right but you should keep the horns anyway.

Vinny, sittin' outside in the gazebo having a drink and smoking a cigar with you was one of the highlights of a fan-freakin'-tastic weekend. I gotta get back out to the west coast soon!

A partial repost...I did not realize this had turned into the Vinny thread....

An open note to Vinny....if you ever dare step foot east of the Mississippi again, we're calling out the National Guard! What we see here in the forum is what we got in person. Absolutely unbelievable!

(There. I kept my promise Vinny and did NOT out you as being witty, funny, and an all around great guy! Your secret is safe here!)
