About 15 or more at our annual long weekend running the Tail of The Dragon in western NC.

A few more at Rennsport and other places.

All good guys via first and lasting impressions.

Well over 100. In person: from Ohio, Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta Canada. Quite a few more over the telephone: from Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Nevada....

it's great meeting other pelicanheads.

I'd have to guess in the two dozen category too.
Many Rennlisters too, although I don't surf there much?

My wife and I, along with a couple of BC organizers (Jeff, Susan & Warren) started to host an annual drive and BBQ here in Salmon Arm a few years ago, the last one was so big we had to host the dinner in a hotel banquet room; if I remember there was about 75 people at the dinner! I didn't really even get to meet everyone though.

I've enjoyed meeting each and everyone of them too!
It's all about the Pcars!

There's definately a few guys that I'd look forward to meeting one day as well.....
Cheers to everyone!!!

20+

Met a bunch down at Daytona at RRIII. Plus there is quite a few of us here locally....

Rob, what are the dates for this year?? I need to book holidays.... :)

Cheers

a dozen Canadians, a few dozen Washingtonians, maybe ten in California, 2 in Hawaii, another dozen in Texas, just a couple Oregonians.

so about 70 . . or about 10 per year

Hey Jeff,
Yeah the run is organized by Jeff Grant from the Coast first and foremost and then the rest of us chip in and help to organize. Usually the 2nd week of July but last year was cancelled due to the Sun Peaks Run being at the same time (100's of cars at that one).

Keep an eye on the Canadian Forum, it will be posted there for sure.

Cheers Buddy!

I've mew a few dozen Pelicans and it's always a pleasant event! Some of the best people I've ever met... I don't know what I would do without Tab Tanner from Autobahn Garage in Findlay, OH as he got my car running again after all of my feeble efforts failed!

VINMAN 01-24-2008 04:21 AM

Probably about 15-20. Hope to meet many more.

oh and I met Hugh too - fantastic tour in Hollywood. we still talk about it at work!

and way way back, maxnine took me on Mulholland in his 993 and even let me drive (couldn't believe it myself!)

I have never met a Pelican I didn't like. SmileWavy

I'm at about 40 ... the "meet & greet" rate has slowed since I moved out of NYC.

i'd say about 10 between the Chicago abd Dayton groups--all great people.

M.D. Holloway 01-24-2008 07:17 AM

Hmmm. Tough to say, must be close to triple digits by now.

livi 01-24-2008 07:44 AM

Zero

Unfortunately.

Wrecked944 01-24-2008 08:38 AM

I've easily met 50 or more - many were involved in this project...

That thread seems weird at first. You have to page down a bit in that thread to realize it is about a bunch of p-car enthusiasts from New England who secretly rebuilt a fellow pelican member's car after he crashed it at Limerock. Good times.

CS119laCoS 01-24-2008 09:22 AM

10 or so.

Tim Hancock 01-24-2008 10:47 AM

Joeaksa, Lendaddy, Mb911, Tab Tanner, wcc, Oh haha, Chrisbennet, HWgeek, 1982911SCtarga and probably a few more I did not know I met. Sure seems like I met more of you though.

onewhippedpuppy 01-24-2008 11:33 AM

Just a couple, not much opportunity here in Wichita. Sold my wife's 4Runner to Paul (Seahawk), and met Dennis (Speeder) on his way through town. Anyone ever comes to town, the beer is on me!

Eric Coffey 01-24-2008 11:48 AM

Well over 50, including 4 in this thread alone! :cool:
