Posting this one from Brad's house and computer... which means I made it from across the big pond

Already met some cool people this afternoon / evening and am looking forward to seeing more of you guys either tomorrow night or over the weekend

cheers,

Jeroen

I took him to WEVO straight off the plane. Hayden had all kinds of new goodies to show us..... I delivered the first racing 915 box for the mid engine shift conversion. Its out of Dick Antiones silver 914. Dick plans to have the car done for our PRC race at Thunderhill April4-6th.


I then took him to HPH and gave him the tour. Rich spoke to him for a awhile and gave us the time table for delivery of his Viper Competition Coupe.

Fun times.

Drove back to northbay and took him to what was probably his first Mexican food experience. We will know tomorrow whether or not he survives from the food....

Welcome friend! Hope you have a good stay. Dont let brad trick you into any iced tea, you'll be pissing all the way back to Holland!

"Mr. Berloth, do you have anything you'd like to declare to the cutoms agents? Anything at all? Are you sure?"

I would think coming from where you come from you'd get that a lot.

Welcome. Hope you get some rest so you're not dozing off during our dinner. Just so you know what I look like I've included a picture of me. I'm the guy on the left.

damm, that made me laugh

for a second, i tought you were the guy in the middle ...

Jon dug up our old high school pic. That is me on the right. Jon and I go WAY back...LOL

NICE !!

He looked a little funny carrying his helmet bag. Made him easy to spot coming out of customs at SFO.


B

WOW, Jon...you have a kool kar!

Or the guy in the background..

That would be a good way to really screw with people. Just before take-off pull out your helmet and put it on. Wear it for the next 8 hours during the flight. Take it off after the plane lands.

I bet a totally innocuous thing like that would get you arrested today.

I know a guy who flies with a joystick on his tray table. That really freaks people out.


B

I had thought about wearing the helmet on the plane...
you know, just in case

cheers,

Jeroen

You weren't kidding when you said you don't get jet lag, huh? Just don't fall asleep at dinner tonight.

Hey Jenny,

Hmm... I slept for quite some time.
I crashed some time around 21.00 last night (I really can't remember the last time I went to bed THAT early )
I woke up this morning around 06.00 or so...

I won't have a jet-lag untill I get back home (traveling east is worse than traveling west)

see ya 2nite

cheers,

Jeroen

Hmm... When I go visit Taiwan (East) I travel west. How do you figure that one out?

well, if you travel west long enough, you'll end up in the east eventually

cheers,

Jeroen

I always get the jet lag going home. Welcome Jeroen!!! For fun have a contest with Brad to see who can drink the most ice tea!!
Geoff

I think we'll be drinking a different kind of brew tonight.

Yeah, but Brad doesn't drink anymore

I hope you will show Jeroen the finest Micro brews and not Old English 800.


Geoff

WHAT??? No more beer for Brad? I'm sure if I dangled a Sierra Nevada in front of him, he wouldn't be able to resist.

Not quite sure where GEE-OFF got the not drinking anymore from...

I'm not drinking any more.... and I'm not drinking any less.

I had a beer Monday night.

B

Well, you wouldn't let me buy you a beer both times we were at a cafe.
Are you on a one a day limit like I am?
Bradman, you want that targa bar and the side pieces or not (for f***ing free!) Got to clean up around here...company coming from back east.
Geoff

The main reason I dont drink: It makes me fat. I dont need loo like a few other club members I know. We drank beer at Hooters. I drink at the track on Saturday nights and have an occasional beer during the week.

Send them:

Use the SSI address.

B

Hey, it sure was nice meeting some of you people last night!

Mueller was a pleasant surprise
He's not all that bad to hang out with in the real world

Although I didn't bring my laptop computer, we had no trouble communicating, cause Dave Darling did a very good job translating from Dutch to English and vice versa for us (thanks Dave )

Jenny was even sweeter than you'd expect her to be :sweet:

There was plenty of beer. Actually I don't think I saw anyone drink anything else...
25% of the bill consisted of beer

Too bad Alfred wasn't there though

cheers,

Jeroen

PS David Coleman and Gary Hasselhoff were there as well! I took a pic to prove it
I'll see if I can hook up my camera to Brad's computer so I can post it...

Where's the photo's for us guy's half way across the states? Come on guy's (and Gal's) share a little.

Hey I resemble that remark

My problem is my metabolism is slower than an Iraqi scud missle and exercise looks stoopid ( ) and is a waste of time.

I would like to see the pics!!!!
Geoff

errr... sorry guys

I forgot to bring the USB cable to hook the camera to the computer... so no pics from me (until I get back home again)

There were others who took pics also...

cheers,

Jeroen

shannon took pics. but i can't get them off the camera until monday
