WOW!! If you live in the DMV area and didn't make it out to this gathering - you missed out big time.

I entered the park at the opposite end to look for any folks that were looking for the rendezvous point. Then I see it, a white '97 GTP with hood scoops approaching in the opposite direction. What's this? A black GXP right behind that GTP. Wait, as they get closer I notice another GP behind the GXP. And another, and another, and another... I think this line of rolling GP's was 15 deep! I meet Steve (white GTP) & have everyone follow me to the spot.

Special thanks to "GP GT 01" (Aaron) for allowing me to scan my GP. [4.14* KR @ WOT but would quickly drop off & 9 lbs of boost with only a K&N drop-in].

Special thanks to "707chance" & and one of the GTP ladies for the food and drinks.

Thanks to everyone that came out. It can't be a success without your presence. Will keep y'all posted for out next DMV Gathering.

Man, you are more than welcomed. We will be trying to get a GP track day this summer too. I know Dave (VictorSmalls) is in PA too. He's invited me to come up there (think I missed one of the events already). Should be a good road trip for us to come up there one day too.

Matt, you are correct I missed out on the event .... I was supposed to be there, and I was going to go, had to take one of the cats to the vets for a normal check-up. But the appointment got delayed, then by the time we got back home there was major traffic around the capital beltway, and it started raining. I know no excuses...... I talked to Anton, and he said they were still going strong, I thought they would have split by then. So my bad, not happening next time, I have already marked the next event in my Blackberry June 26th to be exact no sure of the exact location yet, but I will be there no matter what.......

Anton, great shots looks like a great turn out... Great job on getting a good turnout.........

Anton, I had every intention on going but got tied up with my son. From the pics looks like a hell of a turn out!!! DMV representin' !! When are we having the next one? SO victorsmalls, what are the details for the Gettysburg meet on July 17th. Not too far from me. If you wouldnt mind, I might just have to make it up your way too!

BLKOUT99 - Hey, the kid comes 1st. Don't worry, we will be having more events soon.

Dave - Like I said, we may just make it a road trip and come up there one of those weekends. That'll be sweet.

tazyboy28 - understandable being that you just graduated college....CONGRATS!!

stkks - you know I was sad that my buddy wasn't there But you were there in spirit. And thanks but without everyone else it would not have been what is was. You better be there next time! There were a couple other GP Ladies out there too.

Nitemare_05GP - yeah, that's kinda far (4hrs). Might be worth it if you know that there will be a good size group.

speedball - I started out with the same wish so I decided to do something about it. There has got to be a good amount of GP down there. Just set a date and post it on as many boards as you can.

REDCOMP - wow....6.5 hrs away? I hope it's off the chain too. Best wishes on that. You can always drive 12-14hrs to the DMV and join us....lol! Yeah, my buddy stkks didn't make. We were out there from 12 to 5:30. Well, i left at 5:30 and there were still like 10 GP's there.

NEXT DMV GATHERING: JUNE 26, 2010

Still sorting out the location....stay tuned.

I seen your next meet will be June 26th. That is an open weekend for me so I plan to make it down. Do you guys have a local GP forum down there?

Yeah, I saw the thread...not sure if I can make it but working on it. That'll be great if you can make it down here to show off that sweet turbo build ya got there....it's sure to get a few LOL!

Well, come to find out, most of these GP's in the pix are from right within my county. They meet every weekend. They tell me that the web site is currently under construction. But they seem to have a committed group of GP owners/enthusiasts and I look forward to getting to know them better. I'll keep ya posted on their site as it develops.

Here's a quick vid when everyone was pulling up. I was too excited and didn't adjust the setting on my cam for the sun. BTW - feel free to send PayPal donations for a HD camcorder...LOL!

Sounds great Dave! No doubt, I'm always like, "Hey, I'm OnMy2ndGP!" Funny meeting folks that you've only communicated with on web. But that's part of why I like car clubs....you get to meet a lot of cool peeps. I'm still not sure of where we'll have it yet. Should know by the end of this week. Will keep ya posted bro.

Glad to hear it went so well, very rarely do we Eastern folks actually make it to a meet so I'm thrilled to hear it went well!

I missed out thanks to my stupid 4 year old horse.

Reared up and flipped over on me. Shattered my talus and fractured my knee. On my RIGHT leg, figures.

Sorry I missed it, but I couldn't drive nor was I in the mindset to go and mingle with ya'll. I had surgery on my ankle May 19th and I was still in some serious pain going into the 2nd week. Oxycodone ftw, sorta.

Guess I'll just have to suffice with hearing and seeing about it lol.

Dang man! Glad it wasn't worse. Hey, I can understand your reasoning. I don't think I would have been in the mood either. Well, there is always June 26th. I'll be posting the thread hopefully today. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

BTW - the owner where I work just broke a bunch of bones too....getting flipped by his horse. Could your real name be Allen? LOL! J/K Or am I?
