New England Region Spring Kickoff! (pics) Dialup Beware!

[Viperguynick]

Hey everyone, my name is Nick and I just became an associate member of the New England region of your great club. I joined up with the New England guys today for our Spring Kickoff. Man, what a beautiful cruise and an Excellent meal. All 21 Vipers in attendance met up at Exit 42 off of I-93 in Mass at around 11 a.m. From there I hopped into a Gorgeous '97 GTS owned by Regional Pres. Dave Dugal (a top notch guy I must say, letting a guy like me drive his baby!). We took a nice, scenic cruise around Massachusette's North Shore, turning heads and dropping jaws every mile. The jaw dropping really culminated in a Walgreens Parking lot where we stopped for a restroom break. One gentleman ran inside and bought a disposable camera to snap some pics of the snakes. After cruising for about 2 hours, with some spirited highway sprints, everyone met back at the beautiful home of Jerry Culpits to chow down on some good eatin provided by RedBones BBQ. After spending some time at Jerry's house having a grand old time, all of the snakes slithered away to their respective homes with all of their owners happy to have enjoyed such a wonderful get together. Now, on with the Pics!!!!

Damn gas is pretty cheap out there!!!

 

[Dave Dugal]

Excellent photos, Nick! I do believe you just earned yourself the title of "Ace Photographer" of the New England Region.

Thanks for sharing your keen eye and 8MP photos.

 

[CMilViper]

Great Pics!!!

 

[VIPERMAN]

Those are amazing pics, I feel so bad that I missed up the meeting...
I'll be on in the next one ...

BTW, I saw few vipers over the last week on Newburry street in downtown Boston: I guess one of them was Paul's GTS, a yellow ACR and a yellow GTS with black stripes. I also saw a red RT/10 parked on Boylston street in front of Atlantic Fish.
Anyone of these guys here on the board ?

I was drooling over them for about 10 minutes... Awesome shots!

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Nick- Great job! Oh man, I am happy. What a great bunch of guys.

 

[Warren S]

man! Thanks for the pics! I wish I lived in NH again! I grew up there and looks like you were in Glauster, MA with the old man in the sea statue.

I love the pine trees and maple also with those winding roads!

 

[Viperguynick]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I am looking forward to attending many more events with the club so be on the lookout for more pics. I plan on covering the Northeast Exotic Car Show that is being put on by our region and getting MANY photos. It really is a blast hanging out with these guys!

Great pics! Just noticed the price of gas in one of the pics. $1.67 a gallon for regular unleaded. That's a steal. I'm paying nearly $2.20 a gallon for the same stuff here in California.

Diversity! What a pageant. Great stuff guys!

 

[thebigsnake]

You guys with perfect front clip seams always give me a chuckle.
So I looked at all the pictures but the captions didn't give me a clue where this was in New England.
The Tri-state area is our back yard and I was just curious.

It's too bad Nick won't be able to make Tator's. Now I'm going to have to take the event pictures, and Nick's set the bar pretty high!
