yea my buddies and I are putting it on

**CTCORRADOKID** · 05-23-2012 02:39 PM

SoWo looks cool and all...but with so many regional shows that are just as well attended and established...is it worth it? Granted it's all what you make it...but the show just seems standered...lots of cars I seem to recognize from H20i last year...am I just jelly?

No LRP this weekend...gots other things poppin off...maybe Bakerz meet in NY on Sunday...

SoWo is a totally different atmosphere, well worth it in my opinion. I'll definitely go again.

**Woodski** · 05-23-2012 03:31 PM

Nice. Last time I went to lrp was maybe two years ago for Ferrari and Maserati day. Nothing like two vintage Ferraris bumping going into turn one, lol.

Just read about Marcos accident on fb , hoping for the best for our pork-n-cheese(portugese) buddy!

**CapeGLS** · 05-29-2012 07:35 AM

Im going to go visit him today after I finish up working in Hartford. I will tell him you send your thoughts.

**Dubstatic** · 05-29-2012 08:54 AM

just saw this is the book too. Hope he gets well

**A111 OEM** · 05-29-2012 01:19 PM

I texted him but no response not sure if I got the right number but hope he is well!

As much as I would rather it be hot out and not snowing/freezing/raining its way to hot hope everyone is keeping cool and hydrated!

Swink's A3. by Chris Rousseau, on Flickr

Chris Rousseau did some werk this weekend.

In regards to Marco, I've heard the surgery went well. I need to get up there and see him.

**CapeGLS** · 05-29-2012 03:36 PM

Just got back from seeing him. Without wanting to put it all out there, he is alive and still in a typical "Marco" mood. He was happy and joking around with the nurses. He has a long road ahead of him with at least 1 more surgery. He basically broke (trying to remember exactly) his left leg in 3 spots and his something in his hip. He is lucky, but has a long summers worth of recovery.

did it happen on his bike?

**CapeGLS** · 05-29-2012 03:58 PM

Yeah, someone thought that crossing 2 lanes was fine. Bike is obviously a total loss.

You def need to make the trip, as Swink said, different vibe man, and it's not a "show". This year was 3200+ cars and over 8000 people and it's a Friday - Sunday deal not just a 1 day show. Next year we're looking to add a charity golf tourney on Thursday.

-----------------------------

I exchanged texts with Marc the day it happened. I wasn't sure how bad his injuries were, friggin sucks but it could have been much, much worse

**chrislane31** · 05-30-2012 10:42 PM

Hope Marco heals up.

Well I sold the mk4 and have some leftover stuff forsale
16" 5x100 BBS RX2s with almost new Graspic snow tires
4 new Mann oil filters 719W/30 new
PIAA Yellow H3 fog light bulbs new
and some other stuff you can have for free if you buy something

I also have a rough set of AC Schnitzer type 2s in 5x120 18x8.5 et43 for $500 picked up and I can throw in a new set of custom Adaptec adapters in any size for another $225

**A111 OEM** · 05-31-2012 09:13 AM

Good morning all..

glad to hear Marco is doing well!

If any of you guys are bored today feel free to visit me at Crowley Kia its got to be the slowest place in the world

**BCinco** · 05-31-2012 08:55 PM

Hey all, I'm Taylor, old to the forum, new to this thread. I'm in Meriden/New Haven and thought I'd introduce myself. Read some responses, hope that guy on the bike is ok, I ride too and some cagers lack common sense.

Word...sounds like a good time...was always just curious to hear from locals who make the trip...sadly shows during the school year are always a bit tricky for me...you never know...maybe someday...

Hope Marco is doing well...scary isht man...wish him a speedy recovery...
