The ZHP Mafia SIGFest 2011 Thank You Thread...

[zhpnsnv]

There are so many thank yous to be said that I think a thread should center around them. This place is such a love-fest already, we might as well fan the flames a bit.

I'll start:

DANE - Thank you for your hospitality, your planning, and your all around leadership this weekend. You opened your home to us, introduced us to your wonderful family, and made everyone feel welcome. We all appreciate it very much.

DAVE - Thank you for those ridiculous appetizers Friday night. Holy crap is all I have to say about that london broil.

GARY - Thank you for contributing so much to the food efforts. Texas white hot? Learn something new every weekend...

BOTOND - Thank you for being a well-behaved roommate. hahahaha.

KRISTEN - Thank you for the best line, obvious as it was, of the weekend: "ARE YOU HORNY!?" Or is it Horney?

MARK - Thank you for founding this thang!

BELLISIMO - Thank you for amazing food and service!

JOHN - Thank you for leading us on the drive!

I'm 100% sure there are many thanks to go around, so let's hear them. Don't be afraid to reiterate one I mentioned already, and please, add to my list:

[kayger12]

Great thread idea.

First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the members that couldn't make it to the meet.

Why?

Because we have such an awesome group of members, that the Boss and both site moderators could be at a meet and pay very little attention to the site for nearly three full days with no worries.

I can think of no better testament to the quality of the members here. So thank you to all of you who kept the site rolling while we were off playing in Virginia.

As for the members at the meet, I'd like to thank each one of you for making our first Beast Coast get together such a blast.

I met great people and had a lot of fun.

Absolutely cannot wait until next year!

[GMATT]

x2................:praise

Just got home almost 10 hours. Brain is fried...............

[static667]

I want to thank the Marcus for creating the forum that brought all of the great members together. It was your brainchild that made this happen.

Dane, for hosting and being such and incredible guy.

Everybody that was there. Thank you for being as awesome in person as you are online. You guys made this one of the most awesome and memorable weekends I've ever had. You guys are the best extended family I could ask for.

Sent using Tapatalk on my rooted Droid. Wut?

EDIT: John, for the awesome drive. I didn't get the chance to thank you in person. So, thanks a lot for the great route you chose.

[danewilson77]

Thanks to all....for being as you are on this forum. Truly remarkeable people.

Special thanks go out to all who traveled great distances, as well as though who contributed to the meet either financially, with food, with maintenance, comaraderie, or emptying mt fridge of beer....hehe. Can't believe you guys left me with some....lol.

It was safe, quality, fun time with the Mafia, that really can't be summed up with words.

Droid + Tapatalk = FTW!

[Johnmadd]

It was a more than successful meet. Thanks to everyone that showed up and of course Dane for hosting it, you guys wore me out. And a big thanks to Keith for giving me a ride home on friday night.

[Mtnman]

The same to dane, especially danes family,. Thanks for putting up with us. Dane, thanks for it all, host, tools, flat spot in the woods for my tent, coffee in the morning, and all the smart ass comments about my vanos repair..lol.

Boss. Awesomeness. You are full of great ideas. Keep them coming. I like it.

We forgot kyle in the first post. Kyle. Thanks for the crab, brother!

JW. Thanks for the help tearing down my vanos while your father was out playing with the others. I enjoyed our conversation. You're a great young man. Now, dont forget the recycling this week!

DANE: Must I really say why? You know darned why, you hospitable... dude... you...

MORGAN, LOGAN, CODY, BRITTANY, WALKER, JUSTIN: For putting up with us!

KRISTEN: Of course for saying the most epic line of the meet: "ARE YOU HORNY???" and providing endless entertainment running around in the dark just because...

KYLE: Holy crap, that bread was friggin' awesome! And...

DAVID: Paired with that awesome bread, your London Broil almost made me make a mess in places you don't want to know about... I also appreciate you doing my "job" of parking first-arrivers while I dealt with my wheel fiasco at the tire place...

STU: That story on how you got your car was pure awesome, and think that working hard to get your ZHP as your first car is truly impressive. Thank you for the inspiration.

BELLISSIMO PIZZA: Thank you for having us, and I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in Williamsburg...

TOM: Thanks for buying my wheels! :biggrin

JOHN: That was one of the most relaxed drives I've been on, and loved every minute of it.

Dane for hosting at your house

A huge THANK YOU to our host and his family for putting up with the mafia family for the weekend, not to mention all of the efforts necessary prior to this epic weekend! Likewise for all others involved, including the boss! A huge THANK YOU as well! Safe passage to everyone on their return home.

:praise

It was great meeting you all & I look forward to seeing everyone again soon. When is the next family meet?

:party

[kpro]

I knew memories and life long friendships would be made going into this weekend...This meet wouldn't have been THIS successful if YOU didn't show up! THANK YOU!!! to my fellow members of the mafia that made this meet safe and successful. There were points where it wasn't even about the cars this weekend, just being together and sharing stories or running around trashed. I've put an additional 943.1 miles on my car and about 600 more to come...And now some shout-outs to people or things I randomly remember in no particular order:

Dane: You and your family are simply amazing...and your hospitality is greatly appreciated. I can't Thank You enough for hosting such a kick-ass weekend :) You even worked at Belissimo's for us!!! Talk about dedication :)

Mark: You taught me how to operate the internets, and I've already put my recent education to use. I get it now!! Thank You for taking the time away from your precious little one to spend with us in Virginia. I enjoyed your company. I love this site, without you this wouldn't be possible.

Rob: Sockethead is an understatement. You effing rock. Thanks for EVERYTHING...the rotors, plants, strut bar, WORKING ON MY BEATER while I was being A.D.D. this afternoon, trying to keep me inline... And letting me drive your ZHP :)

Dave: you are 6 ft. tall, lol. That London Broil was perfection...you are a damn good chef. Happy 2nd Birthday Hunter :)

Kyle: The crustaceans. LOL. Dang they stank! But it was appreciated by sooo many :) I'm sorry I called you Steve.

Botond: Im sad I didn't get to say goodbye!!! WTF?

Ryan: Thanks for not letting us pass out on Croaker Rd. and laughing with me all night Saturday. note.

Horney: Dude. You remind me of my friends back home, I had a great time hangin' with ya all weekend. Even down to getting pulled over tonight :) lawls. Nice drivebelt btw...

Keith: Beautiful Clean Car...and the Coolest Cop I will ever know :) Even a designated driver for drunken members...a true class act :)

Eduardo: Driving 2400 miles round trip with family in tow is dedication. I enjoyed dinner and can't wait to see you next year :)

Gary: Thanks for the dog/back seat protector thing :)

Ricky: Prince cracked me up all weekend. Today he said "Girl's don't drive BMW's" and then like 10 minutes later, "your BMW is a Honda...thats okay" lol, Kids!!

Had a great time putting names to faces. Can't wait til we meet again :)





ARE YOU HORNEY???? ...BLAST will eff you up!

[Hornung418]

Just got home...
Reserving this space :) Passing out in 5-4-3-...*snore*

RootedDROIDXstatus. Come at me, bro.

Guys, and KPRO :P It was an honor meeting all of you and I can't stress enough how everyone just clicked and acted like we had known each other for years.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out on Sunday, be it physical or technical or just giving words of encouragement. Eventually I got everything sorted! And I must say, that the car ran perfect the whole way home! No issues with temperature or loss of coolant I was worried that the diff had leaked more than necessary but I had it checked today and it was still within a finger dip. I may have a teaser thread soon...

Dane, What else can I say? You already know how much I appreciate everything you do for me personally, and us as a community. Thanks so much for having us and especially that part before I left where I got to ride in a Sharked ZHP...night and day between yours and mine! I now blame you for my desire to own a ZHP :biggrin

Keith, It was a pleasure to meet you finally! Your insights on removing the lower radiator hose or ;lkkqwjejerpiutoaihg;adsfja;sldkhgafjaf hose, were put to good use and helping to pull my expansion tank, as well, was a time saver! I predict we will see each other shortly at Bimmerfest East.

Eduardo...man, I could shoot the BS with you for days! You are an expert story teller and and ever insightful guy. I hope Roundel Roundup works its way into fruition just as this meet had. Can't wait to see how Kvack turns out later down the road ;)


Now, make sure none of you loose your horneyplug!
Thank the BMW gods, that Dane had an M52tub28 motor in his garage...Horney plug intact. How the hell did I loose that? The world may never know. Can't wait to receive royalties for the sale of the 'Horney Plug'


Kyle: The crustaceans. LOL. Dang they stank! But it was appreciated by sooo many :) I'm sorry I called you Steve.

Me in particular!!

Ryan: Thanks for not letting us pass out on Croaker Rd. and laughing with me all night Saturday. note.

Couldn't agree more. That was a very fun evening :)

Horney: Dude. You remind me of my friends back home, I had a great time hangin' with ya all weekend. Even down to getting pulled over tonight :) lawls. Nice drivebelt btw...

The record still stands for those that are interested. She got a warning!
Kristen, Your attitude is ridiculously contagious. Dinner on Sunday was a blast Keep on keepin on :) I done got's me a spare drive belt!

ARE YOU HORNEY???? ...BLAST will eff you up!
QFT


Justin (Horny), I learned something about you this weekend (actually two things). One, you're a hard worker. I watched you sweat like a pig on Sunday. You did it with a smile the entire time. Additionally, I learned that pictures do not capture your true height. You're 6 feet 4 inches tall. In your pictures, you look 5 feet 2 inches. :biggrin Brother, it was a joy hanging out with you all weekend. You've got a great life in front of you. Make sure you stay the same nice guy you are now, though. That's an attribute that you should continue to cultivate.
That means a lot to read that, Mark. It was a pleasure talking with you and listening to your insights. I wish you the best with Jr.
I got everything taken care of eventually! That was a fantastic day to DIY.


Justin. Thanks for helping eat all of those crabs.
An extended thank you from my family as well as myself, Kyle. We had some crabs tonight for dinner...I'm no where near being 'crabbed out,' yet! My dad even commented on them, and he's the King Crab Eater in my house :) Nice work and solid execution!


Kristen for the entertainment and that line! I wonder if your note was ever found yet????

Justin for the tent the second night and everyone else for showing up to make this a great meet. Good people you all are and can't wait to do this again!!
That note was found...I heard it was quite entertaining!

Ryan, it was good to meet you. I can't sleep in a six person tent and not offer you a place to crash LOL Thanks for driving KPRO and I home and chillin with us til the wee hours.

[az3579]

Botond: Im sad I didn't get to say goodbye!!! WTF?


I was looking and couldn't find you... I had to get moving to beat the traffix! :(

[kpro]

I had to get sparkle plugs :(

[Clark317]

Wanted to drop a quick thanks to everyone for putting on an excellent event. This is the first time I have done any meet like this and I am totally hooked. Special thanks to Dane for hosting, your preparation definitely made for a great weekend for all. I was a pleasure meeting everyone, can't wait for next year!.... Now back to work on a Monday.

[Sockethead]

I am so glad I came to this meet. I have never been to a meet where I've felt more at home, relaxed and more importantly, Had so much fun.
Lisa had a great time too. She felt right at home in the Mafia even though she's an "inside girl" ... I think someone called her "entertaining" Friday night, haha, she is that :)

It was great getting to meet everyone, doing some wrenching, talikng everything BMW and everything else. I suck with remembering names but I will always remember all of the friendly faces.... and all of those ZHPs!

Dane, thanks for donating your house. I hope we didn't trash it too bad :eyetwitch
It really was just like a family reunion

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It was an honor to meet all of you guys.

I knew we had a great online community. However, you never know how well that will translate in person. Well, the verdict is in. You're even better in person than you are in the virtual world. I haven't seen this kind of community since 2001-2002, when the BMW community in San Diego was -- in my mind -- at its pinnacle. Trust me, even when you move on to different things, and different cars, some of you guys will continue to be friends long after this. Indeed, some of my best friends today came through friendships that were forged some ten years ago when I bought my first BMW. I consider it the golden age. I see a lot of similarities in this community -- right now. That's a testament to you guys.

Moving on, I'd like to recognize Dane. Dane, you opened your home to us as though you had known us for ten years. That takes some faith, brother. I'm not sure that I could have done it. After spending the weekend with you and your family, I now understand why it wasn't a problem. You're optimistic, trusting, and charitable. You wouldn't have had it any other way. Thanks for being the man you are.

Keith, our visit this weekend simply reaffirmed why you're one of my underbosses on this forum. You're a leader. You're loyal. You're unwavering. Thanks for being there in Williamsburg. And thanks for being here on a daily basis.

In no particular order, I'd like to give a shoutout to each person I met.

David, thanks for being a big contributor this weekend. The food was great (even if I got there late on Friday night). Also, thanks for supporting the site from the beginning.

Kyle, same to you, pal. Thanks for providing the edibles. Moreover, you're a heck of a nice guy. Even though you may have got tired of hearing my voice during the weekend, thanks for humoring me. You listened to my stories with a smile the entire time. Still, it was nice bouncing ideas off you. Thanks.

Kristen, you're a character. You march to your own drumbeat. No one will ever accuse of you of not having fun. You're also a sweetie. Thanks for taking care of me this weekend (thanks for getting me Hawaiian Punch, too).

Darius, nice meeting you. Good luck in Germany. Stay safe.

Brett, thanks for coming to the meet. It was great talking with you. I enjoyed checking out your imola red ZHP with natural brown interior with silver cube trim. First time I've seen that combo. Looked good.

Camilo, nice meeting you, too. Glad you could make the trip from the Bronx. Don't forget what we said. You're young. You have a lot of life in front of you. Enjoy it. Also, be sure to send my best to Benjamin. You've got a good wingman there, buddy.

Dave (from Colorado), it was a pleasure meeting you. You traveled a considerable distance to be in Williamsburg. I'm glad you made the trip. I have a feeling we'll meet again.

Stu, we didn't hang out much, but it was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for attending the event.

Gary, thanks for getting me that Lemon Berry Hawaiian Punch. I had some on Sunday. It was great. It was great hanging out with you this weekend. Thanks for supporting what we do here.

Jon, dude, you have a great ZHP. I hate identifying a "best of" car from the meet, but if someone made me choose, I would choose yours. That ESS twin screw looks great under the bonnet. Your car is clean. You, meanwhile, are a really nice guy. I'm glad I had the chance to shake your hand. I look forward to seeing you again.

Rob, thanks for supporting the Mafia all weekend with your mechanical skills. You're a trooper. Please send my best to Lisa. It was a pleasure meeting the both of you.

Justin (Horny), I learned something about you this weekend (actually two things). One, you're a hard worker. I watched you sweat like a pig on Sunday. You did it with a smile the entire time. Additionally, I learned that pictures do not capture your true height. You're 6 feet 4 inches tall. In your pictures, you look 5 feet 2 inches. :biggrin Brother, it was a joy hanging out with you all weekend. You've got a great life in front of you. Make sure you stay the same nice guy you are now, though. That's an attribute that you should continue to cultivate.

Pete (and Pete Sr.), thanks for taking care of us at the restaurant on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. You guys were great. Also, it was nice being able to talk about food with people who do it right. I'll be sure to review your restaurant on Yelp. I'll happily be giving you five stars.

Ryan, the thing that stands out about you is that I don't remember much about your car. That's because you and I didn't talk about it much. In fact, we kept things on a personal level all weekend. You're a solid guy, brother. It was really nice hanging out with you. Looking forward to the next time we meet.

Botond, it was nice meeting you. I didn't get to hang out with you enough because you always seemed to be doing something with others -- from helping them with their cars to driving them places. But that's all right. You were helping support the Mafia. Good enough for me. We'll talk more next time.

Jesse, nice meeting you. It was nice hanging out with you on Friday. Gave us a chance to talk. Didn't see you much on Saturday but it was crazy around there. Please send my best to your friend, Adelle.

Eduardo, I don't have enough space here to extol the virtues of your family. Suffice it to say that it's obvious to me that you have an awesome family. What's more, you're one generous person. Thanks for everything this weekend. We must do it again.

Marc, thanks for being there. I had a chance to hang out with you quite a bit, which I'm thankful for. Your dad, who I've only heard about through you (and who sounds like a great man), raised a great son. If you ever do move to San Diego, you'd be welcomed with open arms. I hope to see you again.

Bruce, thanks for letting me drive the convertible ZHP. That's a beautiful car. You and I are "old" friends, since I've broke bread with you in San Diego before. But it was great seeing a familiar face at the meet. Made me feel a little more comfortable. Next time you make it out here, let me know. You and I have a standing dinner appointment every time you're here. Send my best to your family.

John, glad to finally meet you. Thanks for organizing the drive. You did a great job. If I knew I wouldn't see you on Sunday, I would have made sure that I said goodbye on Saturday. Oh, well. We'll see each other again.

Bill, I definitely didn't get to hang around you enough. Understandable, though. You were busy with the other family. Still, the time I did hang out with you was quality. So, good enough for me. It was nice meeting all of you.

Nick, it was nice meeting you this weekend. I don't remember the name of your friend (sorry about that; I do my best to remember everyone), but please send him my best. It was cool hanging out with you guys this weekend. It was nice talking with you before you left on Saturday night. Hope to see you again.

Ricky, my brother, thanks for being there this weekend. You're a great guy. And that little kid of yours, Prince, is a prince indeed. I look forward to meeting you again.

Tom, nice meeting you, too. Thanks for taking the pictures of our cars. You bought BP's wheels, right? If so, I want to see them on your car.

To those I may have forgotten in my roll call here (I'm assuming I missed one or two people), I apologize. The sleight is unintended. It's just an oversight by me.

And, finally, to those who were unable to attend: I didn't meet you this time around but I do hope to meet you at the next event. Perhaps you'll be able to make it to next year's reunion. That would be great.

The bar has been set high. It will be a challenge to top it. I look forward to giving it a whirl, though.

Thanks, all.

[RITmusic2k]

I'd like to thank everyone for going to the meet so Dane finally had to remove that gigantic sig pic from his profile :p



So glad to hear you guys all had such a wonderful time!

[static667]

I'm expanding my list a bit.

David. Thanks for the appetizers and the conversations.

Kristen. Thanks for the priceless entertainment. The random running of laps up and down Dane's driveway was great.

Botond. Thanks for showing me the key to the chin trick and for pointing out the Tropical Smoothie on Saturday. You are a genius.

Justin. Thanks for helping eat all of those crabs.

Ryan. For helping Kristen chase a lizard and being a generally cool guy.

Keith. For the ever so tasty cigar and for being the man.

That's it for now. I'm liable to come up with more later.

It was by KPRO's car and then in the tree, then under the drive way boarder, then it peaced out. We ran around for awhile lol.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I saw the lizard. It had a small ZHPMafia.com sticker on it. Explained why it was just a little faster than the rest of the lizards I saw.

[danewilson77]

A lizard with Zebra Horse Power. Sounds like we got some cross breeding going on in these parts.

You listened to my stories with a smile the entire time. Still, it was nice bouncing ideas off you. Thanks.

Marcus, I was more than happy to talk with you and hear your thoughts. I just wish that I had more time to be there. I will be seeing you at the next event.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Good to hear, Kyle. Definitely look forward to it.

[kayger12]

While I'm clearing out the trunk and thinking of it, I want to thank Kristen for bringing me two quarts of RP Synchromax.

I mentioned it in a thread a month or two ago and had totally forgotten about it, but she remembered and brought them to the meet for me.

You're the best, K. Thanks.

[Dotpage]

Wow, so many things to say here.

DW & Family: It takes generosity and courage to open your HOME to so many people you never shook hands with, only the best of us(humans) can do it. Your family is welcome anywhere I am at anytime.

Marcus: Thanks for inspiring us all and creating this amazing environment where we can feel good talking about our differences and common passions. No forum is like our forum.

John: Again bud, thanks for your hospitality and hard work designing and leading the drive. Trips like that are not easy to find, and you made it perfect.

Pete: BEST FOOD EVER!!! Bellissimo is in my favorite restaurant list, that vodka sauce and eggplant parmegiana are 10/10!!! Also thanks for putting up with our crowd!

Ricky: Awesome dude! Thanks for your friendship and for bringing Prince along, he's a blast!

Everybody else: Sorry I am too lazy and am too tired to list everybody here, but I had to say this, thank you for keeping the spirits up, celebrating each other's cars/passions and most of all, thanks for putting up with me. :D

[zhpnsnv]

Everybody else: Sorry I am too lazy and am too tired to list everybody here, but I had to say this, thank you for keeping the spirits up, celebrating each other's cars/passions and most of all, thanks for putting up with me. :D

Putting up with you?! You, my friend, are a breath of fresh air! And your fam is awesome, too.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Marcus: Thanks for inspiring us all and creating this amazing environment where we can feel good talking about our differences and common passions. No forum is like our forum.

I mentioned this a lot during the weekend, but I will mention it here, too:

I take credit for creating zhpmafia.com. I take credit for having a goal of creating a forum where members get along and respect each other.

That's about where it ends for me. If you guys weren't who you are, this site would just be any other site (like the rest of them).

I created the forum. You guys created the community.

[Sockethead]

Hi everyone, it's Lisa, Mrs Sockethead
Had a great time this weekend. It was a pleasure meeting you all.
Dane,
forgot to thank you for your hospitality. you were the ultimate Mafia host. (after all, I am Italian. LOL) You made us all feel at home, your family did as well. Didn't mean to be all miserable when I left.
Mark
it was a pleasure... totally enjoyed talking to you. you're a great combo of intellect and humor.

[danewilson77]

Thanks Lisa. It was my pleasure having you guys.

[Stu]

I'm pretty awful with names, but I enjoyed talking and hanging with absolutely everyone there. I've got the faces down, though :p Great stories, great times. Totally cannot wait to hang with you all again. This is exactly the group of people I was hoping to meet. Chill, relaxed, fun. Thanks for throwing this - it was phenomenal. The one quote I'll come back with:


Kyle

Wanna be a stereotypical BMW driver? Here's what you gotta do. You gotta have the khaki shorts, with the crease, a polo shirt tucked into the shorts, an ///M emblem hat without regard as to what it means, sunglasses, dangle the 3-series official "3" keychain with the "3" in plain sight, and stand over the service counter looking semi-confused and have only half a clue as to what's actually going on.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Mark
it was a pleasure... totally enjoyed talking to you. you're a great combo of intellect and humor.

Lisa, the pleasure was all mine. Glad we could hang out.

We'll see you next year.

Until then, be well.
