we made a last minute (planned 2-3 days ago) trip down there today. ended up with only 6 cars. a total of 16 people with us and we had a 2 HOUR WAIT!!! we got their after like 6:30 though, and did not leave till like 10:30. what time is the july trip set for? i hope it is early, because the place was way overloaded with tourists.
Neil,
My girlfriend went to Wings looking for you guys (in her '99 T/A) that day but didn't see you. She must have been too early or too late. Congratulations on the new baby. Maybe we'll see you at Wings on July 27th!

thanks dave. she may not have seen us because in order for us to all park together without getting all door dinged up, we had to park over in the gravel parking places by the grocery store. there are some pics here from when we went. we ended up with the real long wait, and then did not get out of ther till around 10 or 11. then we went driving around and i got to smoke the white WS6 in the pics (he had some tire spin, so it really was not fair. but a kill is a kill!) down some road near the holiday inn. we had a great night. are you going to come out tonight? we have our cruise night here in beaufort tonight andit looks like it should be a beautiful day!

Neil,
Great pics. I'm working tonight. I'll roll down to Wings and see if you guys are around, though I'll be in the Crown Vic, not the C5 :(

[FRIENDLY ADVICE] I'd be very careful about doing any street racing around the south end of the island tonight. We have extra officers and traffic unit on duty because of all the tourists and a recent string of muggings. [/FRIENDLY ADVICE]

no, our cruise night was in beaufort. one of your co-workers came up and looked at the cars. i don't know what his name was, but he was a shorter guy in a bare-top C.V. seemed like a nice guy, but i think he was looking for something....heehee. we ended up with close to 15 cars or so, only 1 of them was a vette (adam's C5, the silver one from the island). a couple other vettes (C4's and a C3) drove by, but as normal, they did not stop. i don't know why they never stop. anyway, there is a car show for the water festival this coming saturday up here in beaufort. shoot me an e mail if you are interested and i will direct you to the flier. if i don't see you then, i should see you at the wild wings cruise!

No problem. What's the story on the car show next weekend? I'm off. Though I may be going with my girlfriend to Savannah to buy a new Harley. (Her, not me :()

She's looking at a twin cam Road King. Kind of unlikely that I'll be riding on the back since I've got a Heritage Softail with an 89" S&S stroker motor! :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

The car show sounds like fun. Sounds like its going to be right behind the Law Enforcement Center in Beaufort. Is it just "classic" cars and trucks or are there going to be some comtemporary cars too? No ricers I hope! :rolleyes:

EDIT: I just looked at the pics from last year's event. There was a TR C5 'vert in the show. Looked pretty stock (but nice looking nonetheless). There was a bright yellow C4 and a C4 with what looked like chromalusion paint. Also a clean looking C1 and a mid-70's C3 also! Maybe I'll put mine in this year???

the road kings are a nice cruiser. i knew you had one, i saw the pic on your page, but sis not know how much you ride it. yeah, the show is in the parking lot there at the gov center. last year was the first year for late models, and the majority of it was vettes. the yellow C4 was ken sherrod's (he is a county guy, too). marty was there with his old blue C4. the chromalusion one was neat looking. should be a pretty good late model class this year! hope to see you there. i live 1/2 mile down on ribaut from the show, so i will drop my cars off in the morning and walk home for breakfast!

I know Sherrod. I've seen pics of his car, didn't realize that was his. Looks like I'm going to Daytona this weekend though.

i was hoping you would say thaty early. when i went a couple weeks ago, the amount of tourists was amazing, and it was too crowded. would you like to meet somewhere on the way? we will be coming down 170 to 278.
