Memorable quotes, etc...
This thread is ussually one of the first I look at after it's over! Can't believe nobody started it yet!
I really don't have anything that stuck in my brain, but I'm sure some of you heard some funny stuff.
We were laughning at Bud and Gators usual antics and comments all weekend, and JayG showing up in the Evel Kinevel suit was definately a gut buster, but I'm sure there was more.

Standing at the rear of my car in the hotel parking lot ... watching Rich change the tires.

Gregory (Canada Rob's kid), "who won the race?"
Rob, "Bud did"
Gregory, "who's Bud?"
Rob, *pointing at me, "that's Bud .."
Gregory, "what car was he driving?"
Rob, *pointing at my car, "This one .."
Me, "looks fast dont it ?"
Gregory, *already kickin his Razor in motion .... "looks like crap!!"

the whole exchange of words over pizza in the hospitality room late at night about Being married and having more important experiences than someone who is not married.....

That was DAYUM funny right there !

I wish I would have hit the tape recorder.....

JayG was ON IT like butter in a fryin pan :lol:

The married guys who left the wives at home were out for a steak dinner rather than eating Pizza.

Here are the basic economics of the situation: If I go alone with the guys, it's about a $500 weekend. If I take the wife, it's a $2500 weekend.

Dave S

10-14-2009, 09:32 PM

How true Pat. Except the pizza ran out...we had to settle for steakburgers.

Shopping is another drain on the wallet too....We came how with a steering column, two steering wheels, 4 interior quarter panels, a transmission.....

Sheesh!

I understand, Dave.

You can't eat car parts, but you can use them later!

Erics SVO

Well, you can gnaw on them, but the nutritional value sucks.

Eric, I just about spit my lunch all over my keyboard!
My wife came with me... Having the show in that location cost me a lot of cash. She kept coming back "Honey, Look what I found!"
Only thing I bought was a few cups of chili and a hot chockolate!

Dave, the correct response is, "good for you. Got any money??" works at my house anyway:):):)

Heard on way to the Reunion:

"What's that ticking noise?"

Henson

"Those are awful nice seats to put a brown stain on them." (This to Pink after eating taco bell at Autocross halftime.)

"Well... He's been pissing on the motor for 10 plus years. It's about time."

indiana dave

Heard on the way to the Reunion as I was looking in the rear view mirrors nervously. "What? Are we smoking? What color is it? What's wrong?" among a hundred other questions. LOL
And all the way home. "Is the car going to make it?" "What was that?" "You do have the guys phone numbers right? responding to every little hickup the car made.

Heard at the Reunion from some guy trying to bum some cash for gas so he could get him and his son to Lexington. "That a 351?"
I fealt sorry more for the kid, so yea, I gave him a couple bucks.

Heard in the conference room Sat. night "Was that Elvis or Evil Kineval?"

Waiter at the Waffle house in Richmond to me:

Waiter - what kind of hood scoop is that?
Me - Uh, that's stock. That's an 86 Mustang SVO
Waiter - oh, it looks like a camaro scoop, I wanted one for my mustang.
--------------------------

Random encounter with a guy at a convience store after I filled the tank with that sweet 93 Octane:

Guy - Is that your SVO?
Me - Yes, have you owned an SVO?
Guy - Nope, I'm a Chevelle guy
Me (I've had too many conversations about the SVO with people that don't have a clue, so I cut to the chase) - Do you know what engine is in the SVO?
Guy - Turbo 2.3, intercooled.

We discussed cars some more.

person on Public Address system - " Dave Sloop, we need you at your corner"

Dave Sloop stands up from leaning over his engine and says " What ?, I'm workin on my car here, its BROKE and I drove it here"

Sloops wife to Sloop: "Do YOU want me to go work the corner?"

I didn't hear what came next and she headed towards the track......

I then drove my car to the starting grid to take another lap and bettered my time from the previous lap....

Heard on way to the Reunion:

"What's that ticking noise?"

The correct aussie quote was, "What's that tapping sound?"

Another good one caught on video:
"They do service where they hire the Spanish to clean up the hotel rooms."

" didn't hear what came next and she headed towards the track......"
She's a trooper... she loves being out there seeing the cars up close. I know she wishes it wasn't as cold though. LOL
She said something like "Those Aussies are a hoot-n-a-half" refereing to Chalky.

the correct way to say it is, Pat is the DEVIL!
and yes, Stacey is a hoot to hang out with!!
I think I have more fun watching her auto-x than I have actually auto-xing.

Meotchh

10-26-2009, 10:26 PM

OK, so this wasn't technically at the reunion....
On the way back from taking our house-sitter home...
me: *^*&#$ stupid drivers (comment after almost getting hit by a jerk who ran a red light)
me (again): Sorry I cussed Johnny.
Johnny: That's OK...I've heard a lot of cussing today
me: From who????
Johnny: Gator
me: Oh, thats right...you rode with him at the autocross

At least he didn't say anything about Gator touching him in an inapropriate way.

Dave S

10-27-2009, 12:09 PM

I was a bit concerned with that...especially after seeing that empty candy jar ;)
When he didn't quickly exit Gator's car after the first run, I figured everything was OK.

SVORob

10-27-2009, 04:19 PM

Gator: Candy is dandy... But liquor is quicker

Or maybe it was Pat hmmm

or it might have been the Capitan Morgan talking

Maybe a new bumper sticker

Umm...it must have been that last run where i may have gotten a bit..um..well, upset.

And what i mean by "last" ...is my last 9 runs.

In all seriousness you should be proud...he has as many Fast4 titles as i do.

Did anyone get any pics of that candy jar & its contents?

MikeFleming

10-28-2009, 12:01 AM

Uh, Yeah.

Can't talk about it 'cause this is a family site.

Meotchh

10-28-2009, 12:53 AM

Uh, Yeah.

Can't talk about it 'cause this is a family site.

There is a section you can post that in...:pics:

We need to start mailing around a memory stick. How many gigs would we need?

MikeFleming

10-28-2009, 11:24 AM

How many gigs would we need? All of them.

indiana dave

10-28-2009, 11:44 AM

I don't know what all else ended up in it, but we donated a, um, some uh... "protection".
My wife asked me if I was sure we could spare one. LOL!
Hope you put it to good use Gator! (and also that all involved were "of age")

Gator

10-28-2009, 05:22 PM

I just puked.

And FYI the trash can ended up with all of it.

What a waste...
Oh well. It was good for a laugh at your expense.

MikeFleming

10-28-2009, 06:04 PM

Gator is a douche!

Henson

10-28-2009, 06:18 PM

No... Gator needs to douche!

You're looking a bit guilty there, Mitch.

Erics SVO

10-28-2009, 09:41 PM

I hope you threw away the hotel ice bucket... Definetly wouldn't want that one!

Meotchh

:confused: I was just trying to get some candy while gator was away.
