You missed it on Sunday

[96 Classic]

It was great wheeling with everyone on the weekend but what happened to everyone on Sunday? There were only 5 of us left on Sunday. You'll never know what happened to that shiny red 96 Classic on the last day on the last obstacle on a moderate trail. Chris, I'm sure you can keep a secret and I'm sure that picture didn't turn out that you took. Thanks to all who took all the great pictures and posted them.

Happy Trails. John B.

[MattBlackXJ]

Your rig needed a little "character".

[STROKER]

hey sorry 'bout that John, but you had fun anyway, and besides it can be buffed out....

I hope I can pop most of the dent out but the paint cracked so you'll still see the damage. It had to happen sooner or later. Just can't believe it happened then and there with all the other stuff I've gone through.

Damn John ... I watched you wheel that nice red XJ all day Saturday and could not believe you could do as well on the trail as you did and have such a nice looking rig. When I first saw it, my thoughts were "Poseur!" ... you showed me otherwise.

Now ... I would appreciate a bit more details about what happened and what the damage was. I'm guessing the next time I see you, you'll have that rig repaired and "spit shined".

Where's the freakin' pics you bastards!!!!

[gearwhine]

Knowing John's jeep, it's probabaly a dent in the rear quarter or something small...:) Who remembers nacfest 02 when he came back after the first day with an immaculately clean jeep... that was just hilarious. I'm still laughing about it. However, I'm a bit jealous his jeep still looks as clean as it does.

You've done nice work on it, and a hell of a job maintaining it, while still going all over the country wheeling it. That's the good stuff, and that's why you always get judge's pick....it would be my pick as well. :angel: _nicko_

[lobsterdmb]

Ok, I will share it with everybody. Here it is immediately before Mr. Tree on the right brushed his rear quater panel.

Is that at spare tire creek? I love that creek crossing. Or are there 2 places? I forget...

[gearwhine]

Oh man, what a guess I made about the rear quarter. Mark, that's not spare tire, at least not inner spare tire.

nice pic of the XJ, maybe something to send into the mags, but WHERE'S THE FREAKIN DAMAGE PICS?????????????

Chris was the only one who took a picture after I slide into the tree. Didn't look like much with all the mud all over it but after I washed it you could see the dent and missing paint. It's not going to buff out. :bawl:
If I knew how to post pictures I would. You'll have to see it in person this fall in Moab.

Happy Trails John

It's hard for me to believe you do not know how to obtain a photo hosting site (many of which are free), upload a digital image to it, and insert a link to the site ... you ornery cuss. :lecture: :D

I remember when you scratched your rims on VooDoo TWO years ago!!! I thought you were going to bust a tear over that. Jeez, its a good thing I wasn't there, that one deserved an OUCH! label for sure!!!

I had to bail on Sunday, the wife and I had a timeshare all last week in VA, and we had to be there by 11:00pm on Sunday for check-in. Besides, after keeping you and your son awake until the wee hours of the morning, some of us (not me...) were not bouncing out of bed as quickly. :dunce:

We're sorry grandpa!! :laugh2: Maybe the grandpa thing will wear off on you by next year and you can help us keep everyone up. :)

[Andy in Pa.]

Thats right!! I remember you mentioning that you may be a grandpa by the time you get home from Nac-Fest. I hope you didn't get into too much trouble missing the "big day".

Jeez, a grandpa, maybe next year we'll need a mild, moderate, Hardcore and a geriatric group!!!! :D

Congratulations on the new addition to your family, boy or girl??
