what time are you looking at (more or less)

 

Ok remember from the email that I got from HIN is that we all have to roll in together in order to be parked together as a group. So I'm guessing that me and Marcelo are going to leave early on Friday at around 10am or so. We're going to hit up the hotel to check in and then wait for the rest of the crew to arrive to then meet you all at the parking lot for check in/roll in...

I'm guessing that Juan and Danny are leaving during lunch time. Is that correct Juan/Danny?

Juan and Danny...I got both your numbers and Juan I have yours. Danny I'm going to text you mines. Just call us when you're getting to the Convention Center to meet up...

Anyone else entering from Delion and Alex...PM me your cell numbers so that I can save it on my phone to meet up in the parking lot as well.

Get back to me guys...Thanks

 

Sounds good guys, I am thinking 12 o" clock

 

ok so i guess we can meet up at towers and then hop on the tp...r u getting out at 12 or meeting up at 12?

 

two days till we own O'town

 

Own Otown? ****!!! That's right!!! Especially when I heard the news when my cousin just called me telling me that his GTR arrived at the dealer and is going to pick it up. He said that he's going to try to register for HIN. OMG if he does, it's over!!! He said he wants to park next to me if he goes. He has to find a trailer to trailer it up there because he's not driving it. I'll be taking it for a spin tonight. I can't wait...

 

what color did he get?

 

i want one, i want one, i want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i'll name the nav "amy"

 

I will be at towers a 12:15 on the dot

 

Why would he dont drive that monster, I will pay for a ride

Damn lucky bastard...even if registration closes I am sure once he is there and they see the car they will make an exception.
