That was you? We should hand out name tags for visitors. But yeah, you showed up while the lunch bus was out.

I figured an "I'm P71" nametag would give it away, but yeah that was me
I might try to drop by again next week since we're so close. I'd like to meet the rest of the crew. I've been riding around in my dad's mid-life crisis DD, a Supercharged Cobalt SS (the yellow one) and it's pretty sweet. Don't tell him it's slower then the P71 though...

I stopped by a few months ago met Greg (RX7 guy) and Per, nobody else was there then either, I guess these guys must be out testing cars or something

My neighbor said there's 18" of snow and the only way to tell the difference between the P71 and the RX-7 is the size of the snow drift. Meanwhile I'm sitting on the beach getting a tan. This vacation was worth EVERY penny!
I did try to yoink the sweet Spark Yellow SA RX-7 that was there but my key didn't work. I drooled on it a little though.
The funniest part was we were driving down the road looking for it and the first thing I saw was the infamous BMW. That thing is SHARP!
I'm definitely going to have to go back next week. I never got my schwag for returning the Anthrax

Greg may be slightly upset about that...

I would have brought it back! Ok, maybe replaced it with my FB, but Greg likes those too.

Nancy and I are always here during lunch. Now, I know that we don't rate anywhere near as high as the "guys," but we'd still like to meet "our board members." Next time any one of you stop in, please let us know who you are!

It was a pleasure to stop in back in July and hear the various mis-pronounciations of Wowak.. but damn near everybody on staff knew my name! (Perhaps it had something to do with the "Top ten most reviled forum users" list on Margie's door. shrug)
BTW its WOE-whack. If we were still in Poland it'd be VUH-vach.

It's Top Secret. If you knew, Margie would have to make a new patio. Wowak got lucky

I should have introduced myself. I'm chopped liver. You'd think being the only guy in the company with an arm full of tattoos would help folks remember...

I think some/most of us would consider it a badge of honor!
Of course I'm a safe (I think) distance from Florida....

He probably thought you were a bum who had snuck in. :)

I was unemployed and practically living in my car when I stopped by. Per gave me beer. Overall it was strange and wonderful.

I stopped by a few weeks ago and when I got close to the door I heard a click. It tuned out that they must have been closed that day, nobody would answer the door!?! You would think that around 3:30 on a week day somebody would have been there...

There was a whole separate poster on Margie's door dealing with you, clown.

My last Sam Adams Holiday Sampler to the guy who posts that. Pencil my name on the bottom and I'll make it my profile picture.
