I would like to thank and congratulate the attendees of this rally. There has been an excellent effort at posting pics for us armchair rallygoers. Great show.

Anyone want to take a shot at the names of all SS members that came by?
Pinz25086 and his wife were in the back of the same deuce I was riding in on Saturday. He's the only name I haven't seen mentioned yet. Everyone else I can think of at the moment have already been mentioned.

Thanks!

I am almost half way through throwing some clips online. Here are the first three which have rendered:

(Select HD if you want, much nicer that way!)

I want to thank SixSpeed and the others that made this rally a success.

I was a little late showing up Saturday, but got to meet Phil2968 at the camp ground. Sorry I missed everyone else. There were some nice trucks at the camp ground too.

I ended up riding around looking for the group. It's harder than I thought it would be to follow tire tracks. It's hard to tell if they are coming or going. The closest I came was finding a M35 winch truck parked in a camping area.

I did get to experience the rain and heat. I'm a native Floridian, so I'm kind of use to it. I also got thinking that A/C would not be a bad improvement for the deuce. Or a fan.

Thanks for posting all the great pictures and video. I hope to catch everyone at the next event.

I renamed it but used part of the old title. What would be acceptable and I'll re-title it one more time.
Official Multimedia Thread of the Unofficial Summer Florida Rally?
Hotter than Hades Summer Rally somewhere not in Tampa Official Multimedia Thread?
NOT Tampa Rally Official Multimedia Thread?
Sweatbath Rally Multimedia Thread?
Vinny and Jack's Excellent Adventure Multimedia Thread?

Gimme some hints!

Tow4 - Sorry you missed us! There will be plenty of other opportunities though.

Recovry4x4 - That's some funny stuff. I'll let Vinny choose, he was more picky about it. :D

Two more videos! (Again, select HD if you'd like!)

Looks like an awesome time. I see there is still a little water. I wish I could have gone! I think the radiators probably need a little spraying off. Hmmm, radiators, what's that? :)

From what I understand the deuce and a half that I rode in the back of was owned by the brother of PCTrans. Don't know if he is a member of SS or not. Anyhow, he had his little girl riding shotgun. This kid is a real trooper. She seemed to be having as much fun as us big kids. Didn't even raise a fuss (at least not until she saw a spider :D ). While going through one of the water holes I tried to get a picture of the water being pushed aside by the tires. When I looked through the pictures this morning I found I caught more in the picture then I realized. I think this one was the best shot of the day. I cropped the original image to give a better view of what was caught in the mirror.

That's a great picture of my granddaughter you took. My brother is phil2968 and he is the reason I'm into all this going green fun. Thanks for the pictures Ruppster, and the videos you took for me. The video was great and you can see you ducking for the log that was heading your way. Glad you could ride around in my Deuce and keep Pinz25086 and his wife company.

ruppster his name is Wayne

Vinny
Oh, I know. Phil listed the trucks and owners and had commented about naming other SS members that were present. I didn't see Wayne/Pinz25086 listed so I thought I would mention him. Thanks.


Edit: Oops, nevermind. He did have Wayne listed the first time around but I missed it. Phil has since corrected the list to include Wayne's SS user name. Sorry about that, Vinny. My mistake. Guess I need to read better.
