Thanks for all the great things you do for the S2000 people, Billman, it's much appreciated. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the Fall.
I'll see all you crazies in the fall!

I made it to Tampa, got here around 10:30pm to spend the night, and going home to Miami after I have breakfast today. I got caught in that storm, very dangerous! I saw an ap1 that was at the dragon with us, crashed on the side of the road around the Georgia Florida state line. Besides that I had a great time and hope to see you all again!
Who was the ap1 owner? Is s/he okay? On my way to FL yesterday I decided to stay in Northern Georgia upon hearing about the tornado watch. Money well invested. We need to keep well informed about weather conditions in these multi state trips.
All I know is that it was silver with black ap1 wheels, I drove by and it looked like he slid off and hit the barrier, but nothing too serious.

Seriously???
You toasted that new set of ZII's already?
My ZI's actually held up pretty well this year.
(I toasted my RE070's last year)

Stopped to tour some bourbon distilleries on Monday. Got home about 4 hrs ago, but then had to wash the car.

It is pretty safe to say I drove more winding roads this year than all three prior years put together. I was an addict that just could not get enough of a "fix". You were with me on the Friday drive. That was one of my shorter days. Take Friday and times it by 8. That was my week. I am currently in withdrawl.

Agreed. 2900 miles in 7 days. And my brand new zII's are junk. Absolutely worth it. Its been a long week.

Ten day road trip. 2697 miles. Down pass the first wear bar on new ZZII. Those tires are unbelievable. A must if you are going to drive on those roads. Huge amount of grip with them and the all season as Patrick would say. Had to relearn the car with them on. Started the road trip with the oil at 90% on my AP2 down to 30% after getting home. Time for an oil change.TCT, VA and the rear axle nuts tighten thanks to Billman. $487.00 dollars in gas. Made many new friends and saw a lot of old friends. Did alot of different roads with great group of people. For that I would like to say thanks for a great road trip. We will do it again. Missing the roads, people and fun. Hope to see everyone back in the Fall. Later BD

My bad, I mixed you up with Darcy. The week went by in a blurr. Literly, one corner after another.
Hopefully more of us can start on Sunday next year. The more I drove the more I wanted to drive. Just could not get enough.
