A Blast from TGO past!

I found these old pics, of the first "official" TGO meet.

I remember there was a HUGE swap meet going on that weekend, that we converged on in Dallas.

My purple/white striped 92 RS, Bradley Elliot's white/red striped RS, Dirk Timmerman, Frankie Rider (www.gtasourcepage.com), a TTA (sweet car!!!)...

I'm sorry, but I don't recall everyone's name, that was there.

I know we had went through the swap meet, ate lunch at a resteraunt, then headed over to where the pics we taken. Then, we all headed over to a "junkyard". I say junkyard, but most of it was indoors, in huge warehouses.

That was a good day!

Pate Swap Meet, March 21, 1998.

I remember heading over to the junkyard place, and we were splitting around a bus that was in the middle lane. The TTA was behind me. I went laft, he went right. As we passed the bus, he was ahead of me now! No wonder...TTA vs 305 TBI...He had 2 little smoke puffs from the pipes, and they were twirling inwards, top to bottom, like jet contrails. Wicked!

I was in 6th grade in 98'. Wish I could have been there though. When is the next TGO meet? I'd like to have one, i'd make the drive there.
