Well crap. You weren't supposed to have FUN without me!

Sounded like a good time - thanks for the pictures.

 

[Brillig]

Thanks very much for the pictures. It looks like a good time was had by all.

Sorry I missed the fun. When can we plan another Bay Area meeting? Let's try to do one again in December. Where can I get one of those cool intake systems? I hope to see everyone for the next Sunday cruise.

Seriously, it looks like you had a lotta fun.

Hey Everyone,
Here, here!! Great meet. Just wish it would have lasted longer....

Had to get going since they didn't have any public restrooms close by... :eeek:

Funny, my wife thought it was going to be very interesting meeting with a bunch of "minivan enthusiasts" but I think her words afterwards summed up the experience the best: "Wow, that was a really great group of people we met today!"

And there it is. It's the people that make this board a special place to visit.

I've posted a bunch of pics from my camera. I shrank all images down to 640x480. If anyone from the meet is interested in the 3MP source images, email me your mailing address and I'll burn you a CD. I think my camera shot around 15MB of pics.

The Meet

Individual Shots

Ditto on all the comments above. My favorites:

- Mark's truly decked out ody. Yow. And hey, thanks for the antenna parts, Mark! You da man!
- Nestor's videonavi conversion. Cool!
- Sitting in, riding in, and drooling over the (2) 2002s. Thanks Jason for the ride!
- Rob's Lagreat badging
- Janice and Trei(sp?) bringing their families too!

Hope to see you (and many others) again soon!

Wow

I am speechless. What a meeting, I am jealous.

Also, MarkGians's Ody is one unique van, LOOKS as if it can swallow an IS-300-wagon in no time.

[MGians]

Thank you Nestor for arranging the meet, it was truly a pleasure to meet everyone. I hope Janice and family had a good time in No. Ca.
Shin John please keep us updated on the audio mods.

Hey, thanks for showing up Mark! Same goes for eveyone that made it. Special thanks to Janice and her family who came all the way from San Diego!

BTW, anybody think a December meet is too soon?

Awesome!!! Wish I lived in the West Coast. Can I make a request? The next time you guys meet, can you take a picture where all the vans are arranged in a semi-circle? I'd really love to use it as a wall paper.

Hey, how come Mark is taller than his van?

For next summer, maybe we can meet halfway, maybe Salt Lake or something. Oh man, I wish I was there (with the family, of course).

Will do Mark. When I get at least the head unit, screen, and amps in, I'll drop you a line. Since you are so close, we could meet up and you could audition the system...

Ditto! What a drive Janice! So are we making Janice an unofficial "bay area" resident now?

I say next time, let's meet on the Peninsula, what do you guys think?

Funny, we were going to try that very thing, but with the kids and then people needing to get going (Janice was driving back to SD that day!) we opted for the "staggered start" arrangement, since we already parked side by side.

Mark was definitely the tower over all of us. Must make it easy for him to clean the top of his van.

Looks like everyone had a good time. I am really curious about Mark's (MGians) Ody! What year is it? What performance mods do you have? Where did you get the mods? And how much power do you think they have added? I am really interested in that intake! (BTW, how much louder is that intake? On my Saturn, the intake is fairly loud.)

 

[Kuruma Hayai]

Bruno1453:
It seems you're using a gatling gun to shoot those questions.

Ok, OK I'm interested too.

So, how about it Mark?

 

[odgirlin]

Thanks guys...it was really great meeting you all too. The meet gave me more items to put on my hubby's honey-do list

We really wanted to take a closer look at everyone's van but we had to get back home.

But Mark...very nicely put together van. I love the yellow Honda wheel caps. It's the lil' details that catch my eye...

And thanks Shin John for the kid seat tips and the look at the accessories I NEED...gonna order after the Turkey day craziness is over.

Nice wheels Nestor...I didn't get to look at your van close enough but I know you've got some goodies in there...

Did I mention I was born at the old Army hospital in the Presidio? That should make me a native right?!

We love the city...it's been about 3 years since we made the trip up there and it was a great ride. My older son only asked "are we there yet?" 3 times rather than 40 times

The RES was worth every penny!

Well since van is completely filthy now from the trip...yes dirtier than it was at the meet

and since I just got my Zaino stuff last night...gonna start scrubbin'..gently of course.

Again...great meeting everyone! If y'all ever make it down to Socal look us up. You have my e-mail.
