As you can see from the cars in the picture above, August's Gainesville Hooters Meet was a resounding success this year. I think we had more people and more cars than last year... Hooters opened their doors at 11am and we filled up almost the entire restaurant. Great job by Lyndon (w0qady) for masterminding another successful, fun Hooters Gainesville event!

Unfortunately the unluckiest guy award has to go to Brice... He ran into a 4x4 in the middle of the road on the way to Gainesville... Fortunately, he caught a ride to the meet and managed to have a fun time anyway...

Most everyone knows by now that the FGC has finally finished the design and printing of the new club t-shirts. All the Directors on the FGC Board of Directors wore the new t-shirts yesterday to give everyone an idea of what they look like. Here, our newest Director Veronica models one of the new shirts.http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a361/___jb/CFL%20Meets/2009-08-01%20Gainesville%20Hooters/GainesvilleHooters044958.jpg

Daniel connected to Hooters wireless network and signed up new FGC members and sold t-shirts from the store. Good job, Dan... Shermie shows that he has matured over the last few years...

As I said, we practically filled up the Hooters restaurant with G and Z owners...

Poor Steve had to backtrack from Palm Harbor to meet up with the Tampa caravan at the rest stop... Hope you had a good time, Steve!

It was nice to see some of our long time FGC members show up for this meet... Several of these guys have been instrumental in the success of the FGC through the years... Sean Gilley (blue shirt) has always had one of the nicest, cleanest, slickest LR G35 Coupes in the FGC... great do-it-yourself modder with a lot of G35 knowledge... Chuck (clockwise from Gilley) is a past President that headed up for FGC for several years... Ian has been active in the FGC for as long as I can remember... Jason has been causing trouble in the FGC for as long as I can remember... Ron is a long time FGC member that recently traded up to a really special Lamborghini... I can't wait to see it... Rich is the President of the O.Z.O.C... and Sherman is another long time member that has always been in charge of Event Security...

Ian's G35 was looking good... I really like his new carbon fiber trunk... very cool... I especially like how he had it painted to accent the CF... It lets you know the CF is there, but it doesn't overwhelm you with an all CF trunk lid.

Ian also has the new FGC stickers... actually, these are interediate test stickers... The new stickers are a bit smaller...

The Gainesville Hooters is hard to find, but all the waitresses and managers are very friendly and accommodating.

We had a great time!

Ian and his brother Mark have an old family tradition... They always like to get a nice photograph on their birthdays... Birthdays? Hmm... Looks like w0ady has a different idea...

Oh, I see... It was "Ian's Birthday!"

After Hooters, lots of us took the traditional drive to the University of Florida's parking lot for our yearly photo op. Looks like we might have had a few more cars this year...

I had trouble fining Ian though... Anyone seen him? ... Hint... I think he was still singing...

Here's w0ady about to pose for the last shot of the day... For some reason the next shot didn't come out... I think w0ady was saying the G club was number 1 or something...

After that, we all shot the breeze a bit and headed home...

We would like to make it down for one of these and thought to do it this year, but with us going to Daytona next weekend for family stuff it just wasn't in the cards this year.

Looks like an awesome turnout! Congrats to w0 for planning such a big event! I counted 49 cars and 1 guy in the group photo at UF. I am guessing the guy is the one that had the wreck??

[__jb]

The guy laying down next to the cars was Ian... the Birthday Boy...

Kennedy was probably too drunk to lay down like that and still get back up...

[w0ady]

ya ian on the left is our treasurer/secretary. hes one of the nicest guys possible and goes out of his way to do a ton for the club. im pretty sure the club owes some $ to his personal account but he'll never ask for it.
