What made it memorable is that I turned 40 that Saturday - making me officially Vintage!

I don't have any additional pics to the ones above. Jonas became Vintage at that meet. It was a great one. Granny and I had the first pool party. We were the only ones in the pool. I organized a dinner in Balmer that Fri night, and then we had the banquet at the inn in Buckeystown after the drive. Val almost quit the meet and went home because the drive took a lot longer than expected and her leg/back was bothering her a lot. I convinced her to stay and she was glad she did. The other drama involved some people Matt referred to above, who will remain nameless. Some of us caravaned back to DC from Buckeystown and are in the pic above at Gravelly Point near National Airport. I no longer have the gif, but Marco (matrix) took a picture at the inn that had his Berlina in the middle and two Spas on the either side and changed the other cars to black. He was the leader of the Dark Side. A little S2Ki competition between the Berlinas and Spas (this is pre-Rio). His buddy from Upstate NY was the leader of the Spas. It lasted quite awhile. Those were the days...

The Hagerstown Fall Colors meet is the one where Rob and I organized the first official Vintage get together. No one had met prior, but we had started the Vintage Forum and we knew each other online. That was a great meet also. One important thing about that meet is that 11 of the 134 (I believe) S2000 owners were women, including the suthin sistas Val, Granny and yours truly!

Here's a thread for SF 1-9. You guys can add the rest to complete the list. Some history in it for those who are interested.
