[Foolish]

Yes, many thanks to Rick and Nicole! I had a great time, and the cop that pulled me over for 71 in a 55 on the way home let me go with a warning!

Great meeting you all! See ya'all at the next one!

.... the cop that pulled me over for 71 in a 55 on the way home let me go with a warning!....

What road was it on(for future reference)?
I was hauling ass on the way back because I was late... I usually never speed.. and I don't consider 71 speeding... on the highway.

I also wanted to say thank you to Rick and Nicole for being great hosts and letting us get together in your home.

Joyce Ann, wonderful finally meeting you face to face. Looks like Eric seemed to enjoy himself also.

Eric, you better be out at autocross this October.

Kevin, now you know I can handle myself...quick and agile

Everyone else. It was awesome to see so many Protegs all together. Vito, sorry to see a MSP go down like that, glad you're mostly unharmed!

Did i forget anything?

Definately. Always adhere to the posted speed limit in that area on Peachtree Ind. I was nabbed there about a year ago.

I can still out drive you, so what?

Now that I know you're approach, I'll have you tackled first at the next meet. No Karate for you!

It was 129/11. I got off of 85 where I had my cruise control set at the 70mph speed limit, on to 129, and just wasn't thinking about it. I wasn't using the cruise, wasn't much paying attention to the speed. Got to a big dark stretch of road with no one in front of me, flipped on the high beams, and saw the cop! He hit the lights just as I turned my brights back off, and I just got over.

He actually told me he didn't like writing tickets for 71 along there, 'cause he could usually get people for 75-85!! (laugh)

I was just super respectful and nice about it, and so was he! He actually sent me on my way and pointed out that the limit dropped to 45 up ahead and that they wouldn't be as nice about it there!

As we pulled back on to the road, he went by me really hard and immediately pulled over a Mustang that had just gone by! I laughed my ass off at that one!

Hey all! Thank you Rick & Nicole (and Nala & Prince, too!) for the get-together last night. Have the pups recovered from having their house taken over?

We made it home in pretty good time - maybe an hour, the traffic was pretty light and just a few police here and there.

We came upon some NOPI-ers (NOPI-ites?) around the Forest Park exit on 75S - three of them. They'd sandbag and slow down, then go zooming off down the road, then sandbag and slow down, then go zooming off down the road...wash/rinse/repeat until they got off at the Morrow exit. (ricer)

Hubby had a good time, too - said he's looking forward to the next social gathering. He perked up when Eric was talking about brunch-n-runs that he used to do up in VA.

I'd be all for planning/doing something like this down here, but I don't even know the restaurants, never mind the roads around here! Someone else will have to make a plan, then we'll probably come along, so long as it's not too early and too far away!

 

[Rogue]

a good place for runs is up SR400, in the GA Mountains.

This thread is one we set up to talk about possible mountain runs: Zoom Zoom in the Mountains

hey man sorry for not calling you i got lukes message the next day and my cell was el-deado. thanks for the offer anyways. hey i know most the roadsaround the athens area but not many that would be worth much in a protege, but downtown athens is the place to be. i know tons of restraunts and hang outs. and for the select few (21-ers) its even more fun. this weekend i was up at budda bar and met bam margera. no joke! (hes kinda chubby now). i think we should have a meet up at the speed lab so all u ppl can get that speeding out of your system...lord knows i have

 

[redwagon02]

Thanks to everyone for coming out. Hope a good time was had by all.

 

[Foolish]

Danny, sorry we couldn't get together. I'd have been happy to take you along with me to the party. You still out of the house?

 

[AZDriftR]
