I drove from Amherst, MA to Englishtown, NJ on Sat morning. I went with ner947, a very good friend of mine from my home town.

A few noteworthy things I have to mention:
-ChefBob didn't show (bastage!).
-Emre didn't show, even though he said he was going to (<A href="http://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/179905.phtml">source</a>).
-We successfully were able to get the drag race announcer guy to page "Eric Fletcher." I think my friend and I were the people who found that most amusing.
-There are way more attractive women in NJ/NY than there are in MA... and there were lots at the show. All the jabronis brought their girlfriends.
-We all have AIDS (more on this later).

The closer we got to Waterfest, the more hooligans we spotted:

We did see some cool cars:

They're all moneypits:

I spotted many jabronis who were sporting this ultimate douchebaggery style. Very weird:

Just to make this photo clearer: he's NOT in the process of taking his shirt off. He just kept walking around with it half-on. I don't get it.

Awesome:

Everyone had some sort of lame message written in painter's tape. At least this one made me LOL:

Marc's twin-turbo V8 coupe:

Heh:

We saw many autos that needed to be un-pimped:

I did a VW "autocross" test-drive in a TDI. It was fun:

They gave out shirts at the end that said "I helped offset carbon emissions today." Uh, yeah... I offset carbon emissions by driving <i>extra</i>.

Nick and Chris were very kind to let me stay in their room.

We stayed at the Best Western. It was full of VW hooligans, and it was a lot of fun.
<IMG SRC="http://www.showyourmedia.com/files/1185156918.jpg">

We drank. The hooligans did burnouts. All was well.

Nick, telling me how he <i>really</i> feels about me:

Marc ran a 13.9 @ 102... not bad for a car that he just put together. It was running low boost, too:

My sunroof panel decided to pop down every time I went over a bump. Nice. It's now held up with duct tape:

We all have AIDS. We lol'd about that for at least 5 min.

All-in-all, a great weekend. Again, thanks Nick and Chris for the room. It was great meeting and seeing everyone there! Hope to see you next year...

Cheers,
Mike

good seeing you guys this weekend. a little quieter than previous years at the hotel, but good times nonetheless. our polish friend showed up for about 30sec right before we left, which sucked. I guess there's always next year...

we broke about 68 traffic laws in the span of 10sec on the way home, while getting from I95 onto the palisades pkwy. we did not get arrested. it was good.

Nice picto-summary !
Thanks for sharing :-)

The Forest Service Green Porsche was LOL funny.

Right up until it blows yor doors off, I guess...

Marc's V8 is very nice.

Nice report. Thanks.

But this? I was at diesel drags yesterday and a fire truck ran a 27 sec quarter.


26.2, I'm goin home!
<img src="http://www.showyourmedia.com/files/1185156586.jpg">

made me lol. I thought it had something to do with AWOT, but I wasn't sure. I actually stayed at a motel 6 on rt18. Nice place...had a bunch of first time S4 guys from Worchester MA, stayin at the hotel with us. Nice guys, stayed up both nights with them till 3-4am drinking beer. Lots of DB (douche bags) at the show, lots of cool people too. Got to meet Jason and Neil in the AW both of the first time, even picked up a new shirt (Quattro Owner do it on all fours)(the one WITH the girl)...nice shirt. : )

Realized I now want a supercharged R32 in the worst way, and that the Tapenzee (sp?) is easier than the GW (fvck you GW bridge and all your god forsaken traffic!!!)

scoop through her if you'd like?
