Just a little note to stimulate the senses - a few rumours for your delectation....

Patrick is going to be bring his new 3D (Censored), as well as his extremely loud (Censored). If he has time before the event, he will be trying to finish off the new (Censored on Pain of Death) which should be of interest to ALL empeg owners.

Rob is talking guardedly about the possibility of new (Censored) which will of course require enthusiastic testing to ensure that all the new (Censored) (Censored) (Censored). Oooh, I can't stand the tension!!

It looks as if (Censored) and (Censored) will be here with the (Censored). Luckily, the hotel doesn't mind and they assure me they are insured for accidental damage in the event the (Censored) goes wrong. However, Hugo will be giving demonstrations of (Censored) in the car park in compensation in his (Censored) (which of course has the special (Censored) installed), and Clare (his beautiful co-pilot) will be driving the black (Censored), shopping trolley version of course.

Most interesting of all, to all visitors is that there is the very real prospect of another major prize this year - something you will ALL want to own. But of course, to win this magnificent bit of kit, you are going to need a raffle ticket - something only visitors to the event will receive at the door when they arrive. So are YOU motivated enough to come? Maybe this will be your lucky year!

So come on you lot, you ditherers, you impecunious enthusiasts, you sinners all - come on down to the Amersfoort 2004 Owner's meet on the 9th, 10th and 11th July and have a serious party with like-minded souls.

Be there or be square!

Ahh, sounds verrry interrrrresting...

Looking forward to see you, and all other empegers!

Anything firmer on the hotel booking site yet?

/Michael

I'm definitely looking forward to the (Censored) I hear it's nearly a foot long and no longer bends off to one side.

Is it just me, or is there something vaguely sexual in that post of yours ?

I have no idea what you're talking about.....

so where do we sign up???

This could make one HELL of a MadLib:

Patrick is going to be bring his new 3D <camper van>, as well as his extremely loud <Thunder Punch Power>. If he has time before the event, he will be trying to finish off the new <lit buttons (oh, that was bad)> which should be of interest to ALL empeg owners.

Rob is talking guardedly about the possibility of new <personal flying maschine (sic)> which will of course require enthusiastic testing to ensure that all the new <airships> <don't> <explode>. Oooh, I can't stand the tension!!

It looks as if <Uranium-235> and <a neutron> will be here with the <Enola Gay>. Luckily, the hotel doesn't mind and they assure me they are insured for accidental damage in the event the <fireworks display> goes wrong. However, Hugo will be giving demonstrations of <his empeg remote display> in the car park in compensation in his <"Noble"> (which of course has the special <ejection seat> installed), and Clare (his beautiful co-pilot) will be driving the black <station wagon>, shopping trolley version of course.

Okay, that was good. I clicked on the "Noble" link and about lost it at 1:30 am with the rest of the family sleeping.

The "empeg remote display" got me... gotta go clean the Dr pepper off of the monitor now...

ROFL

This gets better and better! The main prize has been confirmed, and it is in fact even more extensive than I was led to believe!!! Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Now the question is, should I tell you all what it is? Or would that be telling?

Amersfoort 2004 - you just know you should be there...

I recommend following Rob's example and dropping periodic, enigmatic hints that are very vague in themselves but can be seen as accurate (when looking back at them through 20-20 hindsight)...

Amersfoort 2004 - you just know you should be there...

There's no question about that. I'm counting the days for sure.

Well, it looks as if the Noisy and Dangerous part of the event is going ahead: I have just ordered a large Propane Gas tank for fuel on Sunday.....

bad news my new job fell through but i might be able to borrow steal enough cas to make it over

cue black rings in the car park

Sorry for the job.
I'd fill up the 7th gas-tank, if you'd drive me to the gas-station really quick..

Yaaayyyyy!

I can't believe it! I am not joking, this is the truth - hot off the press!

The Secret Mystery Major Prize has in fact got even better, as the donator has in fact added a new (Censored) to the prize package, making it one of the highest-spec, fully-kitted (Deeply Censored) to be had anywhere!

....and YOU can win it in the Raffle at the 2004 Amersfoort Meet!

Be there or be square, people!

Oh, What do you do with a drunken sailor?, what do you do with a drunken sailor?...

The good news is that you will be able to make the meet, have a great time and enjoy everything and everyone around you. Along with a rather fun driving experience.

The bad news is that I guess this means that there will be no new software release for the meet... (just kidding, hopefully)

I am really chuffed to announce that it looks as if one of the major prizes for the car-park competition is likely to be a Rio Karma - as to which competition, well - you'll just have to make sure that install is up to scratch, and come along to the meet - won't you!

Be there or be square....

Guess I'd better pack my 2000 Volvo V70 wagon in my suitcase... or carry-on. Um, perhaps I should make it actually sound better first, hm?

you'll just have to make sure that install is up to scratch, and come along to the meet - won't you!

Darn - the electronic warfare truck (with the rackmount mil-spec empeg) is still not road-legal, so I will have to come in the Mog - with a plain-jane install

Couldn't it be a prize for the worst install? I'd probably win that one.

Couldn't it be a prize for the worst install? I'd probably win that one.

I think that would be a pretty tough class to compete in

I'd be in that competition and in with a chance :-)

Argh, I'm blanking on the source of that one. I know that I should know it. It's on the tip of my brain...

I suspect it is a Dana Sculley X-Files quote, but I am not certain...
