Pictures taken with a Potato X...

Gullwings...

Proving how uncomfortable the 3rd row seats are in a Volvo 740, two Jalops at a time.

Got this one, while everyone was recording the exhaust note on the SLS. It sounds like a Messerschmitt...

Wandering back to our cars after karting.

Look, the shirt matches the brick!

The Swedes invaded Tennessee, in wagons. All Hail Our Swedish Overlords.

Finally, the group photo we've all been waiting for. I'm the sexy guy with the Mazda3. Unfortunately, Battery Tender Unnecessary couldn't make it to the karting, so it's just the rest of us.

Thanks again to Velocity-Silky Smooth Six for getting this together. Also, mad props to Battery Tender Unnecessary for letting me prove I don't fit as easily into an SLS as I do into a Fiat Spider, and Hindered23, who took the group shot, since he wasn't driving.

Edit: Found a better group shot and a photo of Godspeed11 and one other, in the back of the Volvo.

Edit2: Corrected Godspeed11's screenname and gave Potatophoto credits to Hindered23 for the group shot.

That looked like a blast! I love that an old Volvo brick is parked right next to a SLS AMG! Only on Oppo!

I want to attend one of these meets just to see what it's like. What do Jalops talk about outside the site since everyone drives a different car?

I'll get out to one of these one day, hopefully on around Central Jersey area so I don't have to spend $200 on gas cuz that Land Rover is thirsty.

Wait, this was in Knoxville? If so, wish I had known/paid attention.

That's what makes us great, I think. We just all like cars, some new, some old, some fast, some slow.

Teach me not to pay attention! I live in Knoxville. My fault though. There was a lot of prior notice.

I can think of a few places but I'd need an idea of where everyone is coming from so it's more central.

This absolutely needs to happen again in the summer and/or over spring break, assuming those of us in school get out at the same time. Although maybe it would be nice to find something a bit cheaper than the karting, too.

Agreed, we need to make it happen again.

You should have seen the notifications, it would have been awesome for you to have been there!

well the group that came was from PA, NYC, (maybe ny state for one, but not sure) and the rest were north/central jersey. (by north jersey, i mean draw a horizontal line over patterson and above that is north, and below that is central. We went to high point state park and the deleware river for the meet, and it seemed pretty central for everyone involved. Except our Canadian friend.

In my head, I see it as "Look, guys, it's an awesome old thing!" "Yeah, that's a Pontiac, right?" "Cadillac, I think." and then we see it's a Buick and everyone pretends that was on the tip of their tongue, because we're embarrassed to admit we don't actually know everything about every car.
Of course, I hope that's not the ONLY thing that happens.

There's a Concours in Lexington, KY this July I think. That would be an amazing Oppo road trip

Sounds great!

I want to do LeMans, Pikes Peak and Pebble Beach, because I'm ridiculous. But with the Kentucky Concours, we'll knock out most Jalops. So most people will be able to attend a gathering of sort.

WOAH WOAH WOAH is that a Cavalier Z24 CONVERTIBLE? BRUH. I thought those all died in 2001.

I post about 3X per month, BUT one in south/central Jersey might mean my Geo makes an appearance.

Yes, that is a Z24 convertible. There is one left.

Well, I just bought a Fiat, so... I could win on "Least likely to make it."
