It's been a long time

Hi Folks,
It's been years since I've posted here and had to re-register. I still have my 88 and it still runs but needs a lot of attention.
I hope all is well with every one.
I live in Lake Forest on the weekends and still work in Goleta. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my 3rd Gen friends.

Dwayne

Dwayne!! Welcome back, so glad to see you. We definitely need to plan another trip to Najoqui Falls again!

Dan, wow, that's an old picture. I see a lot of faces but I can't remember names. And where am I? I see Don.

Re: It's been a long time

That was an awesome party and great picture. It was a drizzly day and I remember pulling the ladder out to get a good shot. I think the cops came by after everyone left or was that the other party where the 4th Gen spun out into the ditch and we pulled it out with my S10 and 2 big dudes on the tailgate for traction.

I don't live in Los Alamos anymore and my IROCZ will be based in Lake Forest. I can host a tri tip BBQ here. That would be a great way to see everyone and catch up.

I'll try to catch up by reading past posts.

Hi Lon,

What a blast from the past! I'm up in Oregon now since 2003. Still have the car. Still love smokey burnouts and great tri-tip. Great memories. God I'm old!

Wow, that picture brings back so many memories. I didn't realize my car was front and center. What a great day with great people.
