We made it home form Cincy and thanks...
It was great seeing EVERYONE again!
It started out as me catching up to the first Scirocco convoy...
And it ended up with me getting arrested, because my license had expired 30
days ago, without me noticing it.
The Highway Patrol was dispatched, and I was clocked at 110MPH...
After spending 12 hours in Licking County Jail in Newark Ohio, my good
friend Marc Getty posted the $10,000 bail, and I was released around 2AM
Monday morning.
Marc picked me up at Licking County Jail, and dropped me off at my house in
Delaware.
Thanks again Marc, I really appreciate having friends, that I can count on.
It's now 4AM Wednesday, Kevin and I, just came back from Licking County,
after getting arraigned today at 12:45.
We set out at 2AM on Tuesday morning, driving my '83 Pickup to Newark Ohio.
At ~6AM the Pickup suddenly stopped running, so I coasted off US 68, into
the friendlies town in Maryland, Cumberland.
Kevin and I were taken back, because everyone, that we came across in this
town, were extremely nice. After some research at the corner store, we
trekked ~10 miles north to an Enterprise Car Rental, on the other side of
town. We got there before they opened, and they didn't even have cars for
customers reservations. I called Hertz, which was located in a Citgo, a
stones throws from my Pickup, and Enterprise was nice enough to drive us
there. The unlimited car rental was only $42 for the day, and I made it to
court in Ohio, with 15 mintes to spare.
We went to the Higway Patrol, and got a release ticket for my Rabbit GTI,
the one with a Golden Finch in the grill.
Kevin and I got back with it at 3AM, after having the Pickup towed home 210
miles, w/Premier AAA...
Thanks to Daun and Brad for organizing CINCY2006, and for our little
contingency plan, for getting my Rabbit GTI back, from the Newark-Heath
Airport.
Luckily that wasn't needed, but it was great for Daun to offer to fly in,
and drive my Rabbit GTI back to Wilmington OH.
Thanks,
Peter

Well Mandy and I got home right at midnight, Monday. That it much earlier
than we planned, but SOMEONE forgot to reregister HER Neon R/T (expired end
of May)and we were not allowed entry to the Aberdeen Proving grounds to
check out their museum of tanks and guns. Oh well, maybe next year. So we
headed home and other than 1 hour and 50 minutes spent to 8 miles in NYC
because of an accident, we made good time.
It was great to see everyone and to meet many new people. Thanks to Daun
and his family for hosting this again. Thanks to everyone involved with the
great meals. Great job on the brisket Chuck.
I enjoyed Tim and Jim's tech procedure on Megasquirt-it has got me thinking
now.
Thanks to Dan and a couple of the MD group for letting us tagalong for a few
miles-Has anyone heard what happened to our retroactive Bag O Chips award
nominee? Ticketed, arrested, what?
Mandy enjoyed herself too. She liked how we all get along well. She has
been to tons of car show and truck pulls throughout her life and has never
seen a group like us.
And finally thanks to Cathy for the stickers.
