Zoo Cruise

[jeffreyt4589]

I would like to say how much Melanie, and I enjoyed showing our pride and joy "Showtime" with all of you at the Zoo Cruise this weekend. We really had an awesome time, and enjoyed making some cool new friends, congrats to all the winners! Actually I feel like we were all winners, trophy or not! See everybody at the Beach!

It was great meeting you and Melanie as well and seeing SHOWTIME for the first time. And we hope to see you two before the beach in October. We'll have lots of things going on through the end of the year I hope.

Zoo Pictures!!! I have a link to some pictures that I have taken. These pictures have been optimized so even a dial up should be able to view, some might be out of order, I get a little confused with so many !!! (I think it is the age thing!!) I had a great time, just want to say thanks to everybody that helped put this on!!

Hate that I couldn't be there Saturday night, but my daughter's high school graduation was my first priority. Who were the trophy winners?

Frank,
Sorry, I don't have a list of all the winners. But I can tell you who took home 2nd Place Stock. Seems it was certain VERY low mileage, red/black PT! ;D

Not to shabby to win an award the first day you own a car, is it?! ;D

I just want to say "thanks" for all the support of the Zoo Team members in planning and executing the event and to all the participants, who without you, it's not an event.

The Zoo Cruise was a success (in many ways!)

The Zoo Cruise in Asheboro NC came off without a hitch and was a success in all of our goals involving the event...such as record participation...74 cars registered and many other lurkers, record interest...lots of folks from surrounding states and farther (Ind, Pa, and NJ), A real fine car show with active dealer/sponsor participation on OWNER level, a really cool 20 mile 'almost a mile long' string of PT's in our police escorted cruises to attractions....and NO accidents, Charity goals resulting in a ~$2800 contribution to the Victory Junction Gang, Excellent co-operation of the Zoo Organizing team, and of other leaders and enthusiasts attending the event, of sharing the workload to make it a success, lots of reunions of friendships from the beginning.

Everyone had fun...and that's what it's all about.

We also had a great time, nice meeting everyone on saturday even if we were a little out of it. we made the drive from northeast pennsylvania to asheboro on friday, got in at 1am, unloaded everything and then I spent 2 hours at the car wash detailing the car for the show, slept for 3 hours and made it there saturday morning.

For future reference, stay away from the Days Inn, we stayed there, everything was broken, the room was like 100 degrees when we got in. The guys in the room next door discovered that someone switched the peephole around in the door so you could see everything in the room from outside the door. We got back saturday night and ther was a mexican wedding reception or something going on, so there were no parking spots and hundreds of people just hanging out in the parking lot, the whole place was just a mess.

Anyway, back to the show, The girls had fun looking at all the cars and did pretty well for a couple of 2 yr olds in 90 degree heat and very little sleep.

we got to the lot on sunday at 9:30 am for the cruise to the zoo but I guess there was some miscommunication about the time. the cruise time was listed as 9-10 am meet at the lot for the zoo cruise but when we got there everyone was already gone, that was a little disappointing but we did make it to the Zoo and had a great time with the kids, that is one HUGE zoo. I managed to push a double stroller all day and still make a 7 hr drive back to Florida last night.

On a side note, some poor fool in a silver limited got busted by the georgia troopers on 95. I was doing 80 when he passed me like i was standing still. A little way down the highway my girlfriend says "hey theres a cop up there" and I laughed and said "probably got the PT" and wouldnt ya know it, there he sat couldn't say he didnt ask for that one, doing over 100 weaving across 3 lanes.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to put everything together

We would like to say what a great time we had! The weather was great, although it could have been a little warmer for me. We had a great time seeing so many P.T.'s we hadn't seen before, meeting new people and visiting with the familiar P.T. friends we've come to know. We were impressed by the museum, enjoyed the escorted cruise over and had fun at the zoo. Thanks to all who helped put this together.

We too had a great time at the show. While the temps were up there, the show was even hotter! What a great bunch of people.
