River Run 2004 - Photos and Thanks!

[RSO 34]

What a great day and turnout for the Final River Run. 32 NSX's showed up and thanks to the Gallos and The Don, everyone had a great time. Too bad the Gallos will be moving to Colorado because this is an annual event that will be missed by everyone.

Photos will be up shortly.

I promised Don Gallo I would show this

This may not be an NSX but as you can see by the sticker on the rear window, it yearns to be an NSX.

Sorry I did not make it. I never saw 32 NSXs in one place!

Then make sure you attend NSXPO 2004 at the Glen where you should be able to see about 100.

Don Gallo and Dawna... Multe Grazie for yet another gorgeous day and event! My drive down early this morning had me convinced that this was going to be a total washout, which for me was ok because it was just another reason to wash my car! But fortunately, the blue skies prevailed!

Thank you for welcoming all of us into your beautiful home, for being such great hosts for the last 6-7 years of this event, and most of all, thanks for the wonderful friendship. I'm sure moving to CO is the right thing for you to do, but I want you to know that this guy right here will miss you both very much.

It was great seeing the "usual suspects" (aka "the rat pack"), and meeting new friends. I always enjoy listening to the new members telling me how happy they are for having recently purchased their NSX. It makes me feel great!

Thank you to "The Don" for doing such a meticulous job with the registration, and outstanding color-coding tactics!

Thank you Mr. Dave Davis (Davis Acura) for the generous gifts. It was a very nice and kind gesture on your part. With the price of gas these days, that $100 gift certificate may just be enough for gas to your dealership! All kidding aside, I spent almost $65 on gas today. Then again, I drive 100 MPH in 3rd! Don, our group 1 did some serious driving today! In Japan they refer to it as "displaying NSX capabilities".

Last kudos... Thanks so much to the camera guys (Bailey, Bob, John, Tony, many others) for always going out of their way and documenting these events like they do. For without their quality equipment, keen eye for that perfect shot, and spending so much of their personal time uploading for our viewing pleasure, these events just wouldn't be the same.

Roger, that is the best V-1 set up I've ever seen!

Wayne, drive that car! Drive it, drive it, drive it!!!

DocJohn, I like the new wheel set up.

Brian, you better hide that Fall Classic fleece 'cause I want it!

Don, that NSXCA sticker on the back glass of your Ferrari is awesome! Better not let the F guys see that sticker there, because if they do, they're gonna bug!!! Speaking of bug! Those Secada Bug carcasses on the tree trunks were just naaaaaaaaaasty!!!!! And that hissing!!!

Ciao...

Hey Everyone

Karen and I just wanted to shout out and say that we had a truly wonderful time today. What a great way to "officially" start off the NSX Spring/Summer season. It's always great to see familiar faces as well as meet some new ones.

Don & Dawna, thank you very much for making this event an incredible one. We only wish we bought our car a few weeks earlier last year so we could have enjoyed "River Run 2003" as well!

Bob - well you beat me to it.....then again everyone did. However I do have an excuse!! Karen strongly suggested that I take her to Monroe Woodbury Commons to go shopping, especially since we are going to the SEMA show tomorrow. We all know what it means when the women "strongly suggest" something

Anyway, I will leave you with a link to my photo album of today’s event and a few quick teasers.



C-ya!!

To the Gallos-

Thanks for the hospitality throughout the day! We only regret that we were unable to attend the other River Runs, but at the same time fortunate that we were at this one. We felt that the event was well organized and a good time was had by all. We especially enjoyed meeting with all out buddies and making new ones. After seeing Miled's car and him at work, my Wife only now has begun to understand me and my NSX! THANKS Miled!

To the photo experts, thanks for a wonderful job as always. The DON..........preparation was second to none!

Thanks once again-

Cheers-

Nev & Paula

I have turned off my copyright protection on this gallery and will leave it off for about a week so you can download any photos you may want to keep. I would suggest clicking on "original" size before right-click save so that you have a full resolution copy. If you right click save on a smaller photo you will only be downloading a copy that may not be suitable for printing.

After about a week, I will turn the copyright protection back on but you may PM me for copies of whatever files you would like.

Hi John,

Wow, that's a nice pic of my ivory interior! Thanks for shooting and posting it! Great seeing you and Karen again!

Hi Nev,

You're right, it does takes a lot of hard work to keep a car looking nice. I will say I'm a bit on the obssessive side, but it still takes work to maintain it. Thanks for the kudos!

Hi Bob,

That's very nice of ya to let us download the pics. Thanks again for going out of your way and doing this for all of us, and for others who did not attend to see.

Ciao...

That didnt stop me from getting the original ...

 

[RSO 34]

That's only because I chose to make the original available. Normally I block the original because if someone wants to take a copy from their cache it would only be one of the smaller ones that won't print well. Maybe next time I will watermark all of yours.

Being a new owner, it was my first event and chance to meet other owners. The event was top notch. Not a detail missed. Meeting and talking with other owners was fantastic. I can't wait to meet up with everyone again and meet more people in the future. Hopefully I can fit NSXPO into my schedule. Thanks again.

Don't worry BaileyI already found a back door into that server I can get anything you want without any watermarks.

Sorry Bob it's my job!! But don't worry your prints are safe in my hands

Hey John I got the videos uploaded to my comp ... there large files .... if you got AIM I can do a file transfer online.

 

[jadkar]

Bailey,

I really want to check those out. I have FTP access set up on my server. I'll create a user name for you. You can FTP them directly to me. If your not familiar with FTP I can show you how to do it from DOS or I can email you a GUI FTP client. Let me know.

In the meantime I will PM you a user name that you can use

Thanks,
John
