Default Wringo's ride places 3rd@HIN Miami!

Well, this was my first HIN show in Miami due to me missing the show last year on my wifes birthday. I rolled down to Miami solo on Friday, due to no interest from local members and most of my teammates already living in South Florida. Got there late at around 6:30 pm just in time to register and get the car cleaned before they closed the center for the night at 8:30. I spent the rest of the night in Deerfield with the family and arrived back to the center on Saturday with a lift from my man Adrian(Bluelex) and his family on there way to Miami. Thanks Adrian. I finished up the cleaning of the car and did a quick walk around of the event before the show began to get a feel of the enviroment and to see the other exhibits before the lights went down. I was a little disappointed in the turnout of cars at this show compaired to Orlando HIN. I expected a more electrifying crowd and a lot more cars to be honest. I didn't do a lot of walking around or picture taking after the show began, due to me trying to rest my legs and body for the drive home directly after the show.
(Wringo's ride all cleaned up!)


I had a chance to meet many new and old friends, but my greatest moment was to meet CL member TLW(Johnny) and his wife and spending time with Adrian(Bluelex) and his wife. Johnny, is a real cool dude and I enjoyed you coming down and stopping by with your pop quiz questions? Lol! Hopefully, we can hang out a little next year.
(A dangerous trio!)(Wringo-Darrell),TLW-Johnny)and (Bluelex-Adrian)


Well, as far as the competition side goes, there were a great deal of nice Lexus vehicles there representing which alway's makes the competition stiff. At the end when it was all said and done, I was able to walk away with a VIP award (3rd Place Hottest VIP Sedan), and it felt good to end the show season on a high note and also gives me something to improve upon next show season. Congratulations to Mr Mark for winning 1st place Hottest VIP Sedan!

Thanks to all who had a chance to stop by and say a few words at the show! I hope to see you all on the circuit next year and best wishes to all of you.

A few upgrades are on the way for 2008?
