No...the Round-Up is now an unofficial No-Gruppe event, therefore it doesn't exist...or does it?

Pfff, you wish!

So-what, you happen to witness what the SCWDP Special Op's soldiers are capable of, when someone dare doubt the truth! . . the reality of SC World Domination! MUHAHAhahaha. .. ..

Sure, Leland has strayed over to the power-steering pump (again) and will be forced to live with that as punishment.

Doug; his punishment is more severe. His sentence is to be served on a blustery, rattle-trap of two wheels, lumping around with the worst engine configuration ever conceived. (btw, Chrome and loud pipes were added to attract attention and ridicule to this spaz-design. --brutal, I know; but it was 'loud chome' or 'cards in the spokes'

)

DON'T MESS WITH THE PLOT . .. it's No Gruppe.

MUHAHAhahaha. .. ..

I only know one person with a Lexus and that is my wife, which drives a Lexus sport utility. Other than that, nope, don't know anyone.

So I guess we can now consider Island911 to be the new leader of the SCWDP...

Where ya been dude? (oh, yeah...)

The loud chrome pig was sold over a year ago. His trusty steed these days is powered by an air/oil cooled flat twin...goes by the name BMW R1150RT.

I have it on good authority that if he finds a suitable replacement for the BB he'll make the Round-Up.

Sheesh.

Not much of a plot if it is headed by Superman and Island. We seldom see either on a driving function

Drago · Drago's Garage

How can they lead if they're constantly bickering over political issues....some plot.

Zzzzzz....

If you plan on making this event we need ot hear from you asap.

We are making a decision shortly to carry on or cancel the event. At the moment there are only 4 reservations outside the organizers.

Drago · Drago's Garage

Event cancelled due to lack of interest. For those of you who booked rooms please call and cancel your reservations.

What the . . .!?

You guys worry like little girly-men. [/ah-nold]

The same (non-commitment) happened on the first over night round-up.

. .. and how it turned out.

Drago · Drago's Garage

Yes, and that same thing would have probably happened again this year but:

We were planning on hosting two breakfasts and one big salmon feed dinner with drinks included.

It's very difficult to plan such an event if a bunch of people decide to attend at the last minute. (Yes, I was one of them on the 1st Round-Up)

To give you an idea of what kind of firm commitments we were getting, minus the hosts:

4 parties had booked a room at the resort.
2 parties had paid Dane.
Nobody had done both.

Gunter · Gunter's Garage

Disappointing! A 3-day/2-night event may be too much to commit to. June is a long way off; 3 more months. It's too early to cancel the whole thing. Maybe we have to go back to what we did last year: There was a good turn-out for a 2-day/1-night event at Sunpeaks.
I suggest that we meet for a casual drive on Sat., June 11th, stay one night at the resort, go to a restaurant for dinner, everyone make their own arrangements for breakfast, and drive some more on Sunday. Whoever wants to do more can get together then.
You put a lot of effort into this and not all is lost. I made reservations and was going to pay Dane on Apr.14th in Auburn.
It should be possible to get a bunch of Porsche nuts together for a shorter version of the Roundup. Any thoughts?

Drago · Drago's Garage

Gunter,

That's certainly a possibility. I think organized single day events would draw more interest as it's less of a commitment. In doing so though, it means folks who live further away would be less likely to participate.

*If anyone wants to pick up the reins and plan something feel free to do so.*

There will just not be any hosted meals or prize give-a-ways....and there never were any "planned" drives. So, go ahead, knock yourselves out.

Al S · 04-01-2005, 08:51 PM

The Rainforest Roundup must live on, and I thank the organizers for all the work done so far! The hosted meal was a good idea.

3 months is a long way off, so it's hard to commit at the moment (although I do have my room reserved). Most people procrastinate, but I suspect that if there is no $ committment, and no fear of lack of accommodation, interest will build as the date approaches.

Speaking of accommodation, it seems that the resort in mind and surrounds has a limited amount. Perhaps choosing a larger town or city in the general area as a meeting point will be more favourable for late-comers.

Why not plan for a 2-nighter? I think there will be enough folk for a decent party on both nights!

I remain optimistic
