Hey guys, The Upper Midwest Gathering is coming up fast. May 18th is almost here. Lets here your most memorable experience from the past UMGs. It can be good or bad. Here is mine. Back in 2001, we lost a 99 VR4 at the UMG. Dan H was following another 3/S on some twisties outside of town. He was going a little too fast for the turn and ended up flipping his VR4. Dan was o.k. minus a couple of cuts, but his VR4 was destroyed. A couple weeks after the UMG someone spotted this pic on a car auction site: http://mn3s.org/dan-crash.jpgSo keep it safe out there.  later, Curt _________________  Minnesota 3/S message board: http://forums.mn3s.org/Minnesota 3/S Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Minnesota.3S/

Depressing first memory Curt, way to kick things off!
I remember. . . . .
THE WHITE NINJA!
And the Bill family, and that guy with the messed up paint that changed color depending on what the current ambient light was outside.

I'd take having it be there and hauling it to it not being there any day.
