We'll ... i cant remember em all ... but i remember my first GTG ...

Capo VW ... where i met Netnet and EDM (Eric) first time ... we were in Eurotuner magazine in pictures from the event =)

And then me and Paul and Manny and some others setup this big 80+ car meet at Krispy Kreme that was pretty nutty

then we setup this one in Irvine CostCo, which was like 150 cars, which was pretty cool

i dont remember others

these are all big meets before SCE official had em under its belt

I think the "old man of the site" honor goes to Manny.

Dan, don't lie, you will always be the old man of the site

And now my sig line matches my SCE status as well as my car. Nice.

Heh, not sure how to take that, ya young whippersnapper!

I nominate madajb as the crankiest old man on the site.

oh yeah, i remember that night, some dude got t-boned in his gti trying to cross 6 lanes

Was that at Dennys off Oso Pkwy?

I was there with a bunch of the SD people. That was back when we would drive up from SD every week for the OC GTGs. People wonder where my mileage came from. The 60+ mile work commute and the 120 mile GTG commute.

i never saw Lon's Jetta, but i think i am one of the OGs
apparently it wasn't 01, but it couldn't have been too long after SoCaliVW started that i joined.

my first caravan was to the hunington beach (vortex) GTG.

Ed's (Clandestine) S4 shocked the shit out of me, that car sounded mean at a cruising speed, and me in my little 2.0L16v had trouble keeping up with everybody



i still have pics from that GTG, that was the first time i saw Melissa'a car with the pink zebra interior....let's just say i laughed when i saw it

I think maybe you're old skool if you remember Lon's Jetta.

ah yes the Jetta...................I remember meeting Lon under a freeway overpass to sell him some rotors (Brembo I think).............that makes me old skool right? Or am I just old?

hmmmmmm................Lon, I think you still owe me $$$ for those..............hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[cynicalgeek]

Probably just me, but that struck me as funny.

[SoCal_GLI]

Lon....you are such a deadbeat.....you need to pay Jewel

I nominate madajb as the crankiest old man on the site.

Cranky? Me? I'm a model of restraint and tolerance.
Ask Greenwing, she'll testify!

Give me till Thursday. I'll get one going.

[MightyMiniZ]

I cannot remember my introduction to SCE!!!

Hmmm I registered here about 3 years ago tho.

And Lon is correct... it's the people who make the site. I've been to and introduced many to SCE and the bigtime SCE meets. SCE meets have always made positive impressions on me, always civil and a lot of great people who love their brands.

First SCE Meet was the first SoCal Vs Nor Cal in SLO... Was nice but nothing compared to the last couple. Keep it up, the SCE North vs South events are the best.

[EDM]

also you know you're old school here if you remember the fork and breadsticks

Oh I do remember that!! LOL!!!




Yep I remember meeting Lon at the Capo VW drive back in 2000. Damn it hs been almost 6 years.
