Ready to do some more cruising....to be clear again, cruising, not street racing for some events....

Post up some ideas guys and we will make 2011 a great season of events....

Discussions and planning have been shared for an Annapolis cruise, Atlantic City, Times Square Midnight Run, and some local events like the airport runway rental. I am in discussions for some police escorts like what the west coast does for the 11-99 fund BUT will reserve that for charity events.

I would like for our events to be meaningful and respectful of our surroundings and all those we come in contact with. The annual wounded warrior event has been a wonderful event and am looking forward to doing that again.

Looking forward to a great 2011 !

 

Berk, great catching up with you this morning (finally)...I'm down for whatever (especially the airport rental should you make that happen), but I can't be respectful to everyone I come in contact with. As a compromise, I'll pick one person and take it all out on them.

 

Berk glad you posted up after a a short absence about a leisurely cruise certainly count me in.

Hopefully we can keep the clowns out of this one that treat the streets like Daytona and disregard others esp with children on the roads.

 

Airport rental would be niiiice!

How about a cruise to National Harbor, and then find a spot there for drinks and food?


Great scenery for pixs and ample parking....

 

Airport Rental...for sure!!! Def in on that one...lets do some very high speed runs in a safe and legal environment and have some fun, top gear style!!!

 

I will ask the guy's in Arlington about the highway cruise idea. Escorts through areas are possible and we have already pulled that off, highway cruise you have to deal with VA State police and they have no love for any of the local municipal governments. Great idea and hopefully invite only

 

I'm in with my old wreck let's go!!!

 

Great to finally meet you as well Chris. Looking forward to teaming up with you to coordinate some events.

 

Exactly Mickster!

 

Love the idea!! Send me a PM....can we set up private parking for photos and a quick place to eat?

 

Das right!! Ha!
Thanks Warren...I'm also talking to Andy about Falls Church and he has connections outside Falls Church as well. We can do a charity event for the State Troopers also.

Hahaha, Mike, I will never underestimate the power of your car!! You are always welcome!!

 

Well said Warren! Like you, I and the crazy Turkish dude have spoken about before - smaller groups and invite only is a must. Why?

Prime Example: That Midnight run through DC this Saturday ... ... ...

I find no other word other than embarrassing that ultimately captures the spirit of this sad abortion of a car event that I had the unfortunate displeasure of witnessing that night.

Once scenario of many: Due to the brilliant lack of coordination, a series of unfortunate events split me off from everyone and led me directly behind a grown 35-40 year old man, whose misguided directive for the night (in a less than desirable vehicle) was apparently to impress as many bystanders as possible with his display of lengthy burn outs and consistent lackluster engine cries of attention through the entire length of G-Town.

Naturally, while he surely assumed the response he heard emanating from the crowds to be the combination of both the sound of countless females singing his superior automotive praises and their panties hitting the floor, understandably, it was I who hails from the land of reality that realized we were not bathing in public adulation, but rather basking on the beaches of ridicule as the crowd pointed and clearly stated "look at these gay ******bags thinking they are badasses in their cars, how embarrassing". Great.

Thankfully, the sadness that is Georgetown/DC nightlife ended in all of its 10 blocks or so of glory and the spectacle was over in mere moments. For me anyways. As I looked for parking, I just saw the same group of guys turn around and do it all over again and again.

Simply put, in the huge playground of awesomness that is NYC, a run like this with great cars and even greater people makes sense. DC, who's day/night life consists of the few unimpressive Adams Morgan and G-Town - not so much.

Looking forward to some great runs/event this summer with some awesome cars and even greater people!

 

Rob, you effin trip me out with your dialogue. I cant stop laughing long enough to do !@#$ the rest of the day. Catch you soon.

 

The girlfriend had meantioned a trip to annapolis to see the national harbor etc... I'd be very interested in this (no burnouts I promise!)

 

I think the National Harbor would be a wicked venue, arrive early have a few drinks chill and then drive back.

Photographers are a must.

Alternatively a drive through thr MD country roads with stops along the way....

Either/or I don't like fuc*in VA
