Compensating
Enthusiast
Wow... you guys are too much. Between the IPod.. the care packages still coming in.. and now this..
I have to thank Paul Lacey for making a 200 mile round trip in his #52 GTS/R just come hand out with me during my layover in Mildenhall UK.
Had a wonderful cruise around the UK.. a wonderful dinner in New Market... and even better conversations about every topic you can imagine!!
The only dissapointments to the evening was when Paul informed me that if I had been there only two days earlier I could have attended the UK VCA meet... and to make things even worse he also informed me that had I been there on my orignal arrival date... get this.. that himself, Baz, and the one and only Viper Wizard himself Chuck Tator were all going to take me out to dinner!!!!
Paul dropped everything to make this trip and show me a good time.. and then our aircraft broke and we slipped 24hrs... Paul then rearranged his life again.. and made the trip the next day. Whats even more interesting is that the place I was told we were staying.. and that I relayed to Paul.. Was closed and being torn down that week!! Ooops!!.. So as I am walking to meet Paul and I see this Viper turn the corner and I thought thank god!!! He didnt just turn around and go home.. I ended up flagging him down and had a great evening. First time I ever hitch hiked for a Viper..
Hats off to you Paul!!!!! You are the man!!!
To top the evening off I vouched him on base.. probably the first GTS/R ever on RAF Mildenhall... We met up with the rest of my aircrew at Galaxy Club on base.. Wow.. they were speechless that a total stranger would go this far out of their way. They also were drooling over the GTS/R..
but I got to drool .. in it.. ahaha
Paul also presented me with a Viper beer mug, an English beer mug, and a very covenated and sought after UK Viper Club lapel pin!!!
below are some pics of the evening..
THANK AGAIN PAUL !! YOU MADE MY TRIP !!!
