I had a great time at the meet. I was able to get a lot of info and ideas from everyone. I've already started on my Festiva and I can't wait until next year.

[MONSOON]

26 hours of driving; $110 on a hotel room; maybe $140 on gas. All for a six-hour meet.

Priceless.

Were you the "Longest Drive" winner?

Thanks Steve! I like change. Nope not lip syncing. You're here because festivas rule!!!!
"No matter what" is me singing to a track my friend emailed to me.
"Mercury blues" is a 100% live performance. Me on all instruments and vox.
The last one I meant to post was "nothing but wrong" an original with Jimmy Danger (the same guy as no matter what.) I just sang on that one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x63Nc0c7CJA

They were all just months apart.

I can't swap a BP with out someone else running the show! ops: Why am I here?! ops:

Were you the "Longest Drive" winner?

John/Pu241 and I both came from St. Louis (not in convoy though); we were the ones who came the longest distance. Wasn't aware of any prize. Should I drive back and demand it from Dean? ;-)

[Festiva_Fred]

Dang that must have been a great meet!! wish I could have gone!!!

There's always next year...maybe we can get a convoy going then!

[Festiva_Fred]

There's always next year...maybe we can get a convoy going then!

That would be sweet

[neanderpaul]

More MORE bigger BETTER!!!!
What was the final count 53 festivas?

I would think the fellowship with so many other Festiva Fans would be prize enough! :p

I think it was 51 total, of which 4 were Aspires...no excuses, don't care who dies or gets married, you gotta come on down next year. It was amazing to see so many Festys and their caretakers there, and the variety of things people do to them.

Edit: next year I'll be bringing my 1.3 turboed Aspire SE--rear turbo courtesy of Greg of course.

Festiva Madness 3 Meet Pictures
It will take a while to review and upload pics from the meet, but here are a few. This is Eurotiva taking a pic of the cars getting ready to convoy.

Here is the picture he took

Note that some of the cars had already pulled out and left, but at the same time we still had folks arriving. It has been a crazy day!

The final count was 55 cars. That breaks down to 51 Festivas and 4 Aspires.
For the convoy, we were down to 48 cars. It was awesome.
