Haha- Not really a competition per say... Mike has some tickets and we'll use those to draw for "door prizes". We should think of some games to play or something too though. Does anyone have any pistons laying around, Tony maybe your uncle has some (?). I saw on a board somewhere where they were planning a "piston throw" contest. lol. Or maybe we can do somethng like "Pin the piston on the pinto". That was lame wasn't it?!

Mike it looks like everyone's still game. There are a few on the 7 forum who's cars are "under construction" so to speak but are taking other cars. And some are carpooling, caravaning, etc. I've gotten a few pm's and phone calls asking "what time" so I too posted a "4PM reminder". I'll be picking up the ice today and starting to cook. Call me if there's anything else we need.

See you all tomorrow.

 

Damn, I didn't know it was at 4. For some reason I was thinking the Que was at 1 or so. Peter can't make it, and it's slim for me to make it but I'll try.

 

Alcohol, kids, and throwing objects don't go well together... but.. Brr... Monique cooking?

 

^^ Yes huhh as long as we don't throw the kids we'll be aiight. How the hell did you not know it was at four? Yeah-- I'm cooking, you & Peter will be missin out!

 

Hello there, my name is Steve. Sorry I didn't give it sooner, still on for the ride down though.
Might be a little later than 4, prolly 5-ish. When will the food be ready, I may kick it up a notch.
Thanks again for the invite and see ya there.

 

Hi Steve,

Food will be ready at 4, but we should still have plenty at 5.

See you at the BBQ.

Mike

 

WOO HOO!! The Day Has COME!

 

Well thanks Mike, to you & Connie for hosting the BBQ today. It was a great turnout and I had a nice time. I'm glad everyone (except tjb...) was able to make it. Can someone send me pics? lol. Yeah I had my camera but umm I didn't take any pics. I knew Roger would be snapping shots. Tony & Mike, it was good seeing you again. Roger, surfrgurl, John, Steve, Peter & Bill it was great meeting you. It was also nice to have so many 7's join us. Man there were def some sweet rides on Ave. E today! A big thanks also to Don Ducote Mazda & Racing Beat for our cool giveaways!

 

I had a great time too. I was glad I had an opportunity to see and hear the racing beat exhaust and intake.

Also, the 7s were pretty awesome.

 

OK...here are the pics I took:










And since Bill also flies R/C aircraft, here's a pic of my EVO50 charging at the field in Segoville, Texas



I hate the chips on my front bumper.

 

Thanks for the pics John- great shots!

I'm sure around 2 am Roger will post his. lol. And whatever he says, I'm not the one who spilled pudding in the street!

 

Once again thanks for the invite to the BBQ, I had a nice time with all the other RX-- fanatics today.
A big thanks to Mike and his wife for the use of their home, Monique for the setup and Racing Beat prizes.( sux I didn't get a car)
Keith from Ducote Mazda and his dealerships help, And all the good folks of Louisiana that I met.
Next time maybe some others will get off their butts and show up from BR, we gotta lot of 7's and 8's.

I didn't take that many pics, but some of them didn't come out right. but here's a few.

OH NO, THE PUDDING!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Had a good time at the que for the short amt of time I was there. Nice to meet everyone. Wish I could've stayed longer but.....yeah

I'm finally getting home from all the other bday parties. Went out to Harrah's to try some luck... turned out pretty well.

Your not alone tonight Roger... I still can't sleep.

 

Once again, Thanks everybody and thanks Mike and Monique. I had a good time. And yes, the pudding does taste better on the ground.

 

Tsk Tsk, I see no other car that could have done it in that pic but MONIQUE!

How late did yall stay? That pic looks pretty dark..

 

The sun just went down. I don't know what time it was. BUt when I left , I saw a white 8 at the expressway and told him to join the site. I must have been drunk, cause the dam pic is so messed up.lol

 

Thats the 8 that went to my boy's shop to get his windows tinted... and I just missed him. My boy said he was sitting on 20's with lambo doors.... I wanna check it out.

PS. That is a horrible picture! And no... you weren't drunk because we don't drink and drive right?

 

Right

 

Ayte Roger, I'm out. Got work early in the morning! Nice meeting you and everyone else! Thanks Mike for hosting the party! And Monique, Keith, and Racing beat for the goodies! I never seen so many 7/8's in New Orleans in my life.

 

Adding my thanks to Mike and Connie for hosting such a cool event. It was great meeting all of you. I feel better that I'm not the only one with a passion for cars. Everyone keep in touch, maybe I'll see yous at the Z event at the Lake on the 29th.

Bill J.

 

I met him at John Ehret High School when I was picking up my daughter from Driver’s Ed one night. I told him about this site and about our BBQ. He didn’t seem too enthused ~shrug~

Oh… and right!
