Daytona 2005....
Click here for the 2004 wine tasting



OK, so this year our core crew grew another Member.  Joe Fabiani, also known as "No-Sho-Joe" or simply "Mr. Fabulous".
He has also garnered the nickname "Gotta-GoJo"


Our fearless and constantly sober navigator, Doug "Dougie" Nickel


And of course our navigator, the ever flexible Dr. T.


The Doktor developed a drinking problem early on but was straightened out in due course.


Ever the good Samaritans, we are always on the lookout for a motorist in distress.  Mostly for female motorists in distress.  We didn't stop to help her, but we did take the time to snap this photo.


Joe asked her if she was busy later, but was summarily rebuffed.  "Hey, I'm, not getting' my hands dirty for Dat Minx, I won't even fix my wife's car!  Shut up before I shove a Cat-Bypass up your Ass!"


Now it's time for the the Brumos-Sponsored wine tasting.  It is a very formal affair and it's important to represent the Porsche community in a dignified manner.


Yes, this is a wine TASTING.  Just a sip.  They decided that it would be best to give us a few ounces in the bottom of a cup.  Just a sip, since there is no sense in getting the whole crowd silly.



Very reserved.  A nice assortment of chablis and chardonnays from California.  We stayed away from that side of the room and descended on the reds.  After all, whites are for girly-men and girls who drink with a pinky in the wind.  We have no use for them.



I think Doug is setting the general tone for the afternoon.  Mind you, we didn't know anyone there, but we were determined to bring the crowd into our way of thinking.  After all, a mob may be dangerous, especially a drunken mob, but it's quite a bit more interesting than bunch of a well behaved tea-toadlers.



"Well Hallo there, why yes, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Douglass Nickel the Third.....I work on the Main Line and deal in corporate real estate acquisitions, just moved to Old Hockessin, none of that new money where we are....



What a load of crap.  Time to take a breather.


AAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Brendan commits alcohol abuse!  Quick, mop that up before someone sees!


"Yes, again, I'm Douglas, and this is my new lady-friend, her name is....um, excuse me, what did you say you name was?  Alice?  Allison?  Alise!  Aaaah yeas, now I recall...  We make a lovely couple don't we?"


"And her lovely friend...well... we'll just refer to her as the RedHead."


Hey!  These chicks are buying' it!  Wahooooo!!!!


My turn....camera handoff!


Oh yes, always a generous cross section.   You might remember this little lovely from last year.  Alway impeccably dressed...Click here for a even nicer shot....


She looks great from every angle.  Oh baby, hold me back!  Is that spare from one of the racing teams?


Now back to our group. Sammich seems to have caught the eye of our little red-headed friend....



Dougie thinks "Yeah yeah yeah...whatever...I could really use some Doritos"


Now you really have to watch out for the Ferrari crowd.  They can turn the quietest party into one hell of a shin-dig.  Um, as long as your idea of a shin-dig is a funeral that is.


Ya know, the wait staff is just the best.  The are very cordial and the ladies love them.


It's important that the ladies love them, so that while I'm taking the photo Dougie can grab a couple of bottles and end this sippy-cup crap.


You know the key to a good party is proper planning teamed up with flawless execution.  Here we are then, filler up!




I'm not really sure what's happening here, but she does have a nice belly button, and after all, that is what's important.  Shiny keeps a respeitible distance.  Or at least that's what we throught initially.



Is that Shiney or did someone steal a maniquin from WoolWorths?  As you can see we drew a few more ladies into the mix but Shiney looks like that stand got stuck a little too high up there and it's making him pretty darn uncomfortable.




It's Alise's birthday and we got the band to do a nice little tribute.



Too rich or too thin...take your pick, but she sure knows how to have a hell of a good time....





I can't remember what little secret Red told me, I'm not sure it was terribly coherent at the time, but in the long run it really didn't matter.  I do remember that she was on her second husband in three years and we were deterimined to keep up her average.



"Oh Yeah!"  If you know Sammich (Tom Webster) then you know just what that phrase means.  If you don't, well, it really doesn't take all that much imagination.



Shiney still has that pole firmly embedded. It's been an hour and he hasn't moved an inch.  Must be pretty painful.



Dougie thinks "Wow...I don't think I could drink that much"  And that was after a dozen glasses of wine!



Sammich is really having a great time as are we all.



Somehow, though, I think I'm having a better time.  A red in each hand....



No words needed here....


Um, we are all starting to lose our balance though.  Thank God for the speed drive on the Nikon!



Thought balloon: "Oh..that feels much better.  There is no way I can be associated with these Ya-Hoos, anyone can plainly see I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I'm completely innocent of any wrong doing.  Debauchery is the furthest thing from my mind"



Meanwhile, let's leave the plant life behind and return to the Animal Kingdom!



Wow!  Another Blond!  Jeez, ya know a bottle of wine really does wonders!  What a GREAT way to meet people!





Uh oh.  Mister Mike Fox might have some 'Splainin to do!   With any luck his wife doesn't have Internet access.



Tom really feels dejected.  He had felt so special.  Brendan, being a newlywed, is going with the "Yeah, that's my sister" story.



"Come on, it isn't really that big".....and Dougie's still trying to figure out how they got on th the topic of fishing at a wine tasting!


Begging really won't help.



"Daaang, that sure iz one fi-i-i-ne woman!  We don't get  many of them little Phillies down to the NASCAR races.  Damn, I got a spare tickut to the Five-Hunnert next weekend too!



"I swear, that wasn't my hand.....Really!....here they are!"




I got real tired of seeing Sammy undress her with his eyes, so I finally just asked her to take her shirt off.  I was a surprised as anyone when it actually worked!



Well, Ms. Ferrari (Darlene) seems otherwise occupied, and Dougie and I make a red-head sammich!



"But really dear, this is just Brendan's sister"




I think i saw this in Austin Powers.  next thing you know he'll be dressed in ladies underwear with a rose in his teeth!  Someone must have put him back on the pole.  Luckily he came with poseable arms.



You know, it's always a good idea to get a different perspective on the situation.  Again, distraction is the heart of deception and a little teamwork really pays off..




The band leader has just finished announcing our pick for Miss Daytona 2005.....Alise is absolutely taken beside herself with joy!



Dougie comes over to congratulate her with a good-luck kiss but finds out something else we didn't know.....



Turns out Alise knows Judo!  " OOOOHHHH...Dat hurt pretty much!  Tank a God I'm a feering no pain! "



"Is OK honey, I get another drink later"   Apologies accepted.



You know Dougie doesn't give up too easily.  She's giving him fair warning and I think this time he's gonna take it..


It just takes a little charm...and a few gallons of go-go juice..and, well, let's face it, being a few inches taller than Sasquatch never hurts either.   I'm not too sure how this turned out, but I did end up with her phone number.



Again, Brendan will make the sister excuse later, and it seems almost plausible.



Have you ever heard the line "Red Bull Gives You Wings"?  Apparently works pretty good for Red Wine too!



Now this geezer and Richard Petty try to horn in on our action.  Alise sets him straight Mui Pronto! "Nope, I just don't think so Pal, hit the bricks!"




Um, I really don't have an explanation for this one.  I wish I did, because I'm sure it's all very interesting, so we'll just assume some of the girls have adjustable persuasions and leave it at that.  Personally I ave no problem with it.....



Um....OK then.  Well.  Hmmn.  I guess Dougie's doin' OK after all.



Sammich has a bird's eye view.  I'll have to ask him about this next time I see him.  "Stop in the Name of Love"?



You know things change pretty quickly in this kind of a crowd....






Recurring theme"  "Oooooh Yeah!"


Hey, someone's got to hold he camera.



But we all had a hell of a great time.....Except maybe Shiney.  A little while later someone went over and turned the stand around so at least he could see how much fun we were having.
