Al N. Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Folks- I have laid lower than low for the past few months. Mostly because I was trying to focus on keeping my business going (we're hanging in there!). But also because without my old car, I quite honestly feel like a bit of an outsider. And finally, there is the matter of the stickers and ID cards. With the exception of a very small handful of people, all of the stuff was sent out in 2008...in two batches, the last being in early Dec. I asked for and received confirmation emails from people in each batch....but the number of confirms I got was surprisingly low. I assumed it was because people were busy or did not read that part of the cover letter. Roman, yours definitely went out in early Dec. Later today, I'm going to post specifically about this matter and ask people to chime in who did receive materials. I had my return address on them, and paid postage in person after weighing each one (an additional sticker or two made the difference between postal classes)....and did not receive a single one back. I apologize for the delay with all of this and take personal responsibility for it. Rest assured that I printed the cards and paid for all the postage out of my own pocket — my "penance" if you will for being slackadasical on the execution of the material distribution. Anyway, I'm back. And booked for Birmingham at the end of May. If you all cross your fingers, perhaps even with another Se7en. My girls have grown by leaps and bounds, for those of you who've met them. I'll probably bring them to Carlisle again. Best, Al Navarro Erstwhile Club President and Current Secretary P.S. Most of you know how to reach me directly...but if you don't it's al at mintadv dot com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey Al, your not seriously going to tease us like that. Perhaps even with another Se7en Well, did you buy one of the Levante's??:yesnod: or are you still going old school? I know MoPho isn't selling you Orange back. And if you do bring a new se7en to Birmingham, I hear that the Autox course is 1 mile long. (Hint..take an instructor along :rofl:) If you're trailering down to LOG29, lets talk.

Al N. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Tom- I'm planning on being there Thurs through Sunday. Figured we'd leave the NE area on Wed early and overnight enroute...could be convinced to leave on Monday. I'm sure I'll have an SUV full of stuff...coming without family, but perhaps with a friend who has an Esprit. -Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStier Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Al, I just joined the forums here a few weeks ago and have been 'looking' for you. I read alot of your old posts and figured that you would be a good resource since we are both from NJ. I am hoping to join the world of seven ownership sometime soon so I am glad to see that you're back... Kyle Stier Hopewell, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al N. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Whew! Thanks for the updates fellas...still have a few outstanding, but will contact those guys directly to get the info I need (didn't get datasheets for everyone). Kyle, I'm up in Frenchtown and drive through Hopewell nearly every morning to bring my kids to school in Princeton. I'll be sure to chime in full on that thread...or hit me up via email. Depending on your schedule, I could meet you for coffee some morning after I drop the kids off. Happy to be back on the forum, and welcome all snide but well-intentioned commentary! I did one of the Facebook "25 random things" exercises (as of yet unpublished) and Se7ens are mentioned in at least 2 of my 25! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim F. Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sorry for my negligence in not timely acknowledging receipt of the club membership packet, Al! Thank you for your time and involvement in all things "7" related. With best regards, Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Al, Welcome back, good to hear from you again. I also received my packet and I don't remember if I acknowledged it at the time. Thanks for all the effort and expense you put into it. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Skip...I think I might have sent a dupe out to you today. Send me an email to tell me what was in the first mailing...pretty sure it was TOTD sticker and not the new USA7s.org ones. But I could be very wrong.

stevet Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Welcome back Al, got my sticker pack too - just need something to stick them on now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Al, Good to see you posting. Glad you're hanging in there with the business. I received my stickers and such no problems. Thanks! Not sure yet about my plans for Carlisle and/or Birmingham, but I hope I see you at one or both. Best regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Al, I'm happy to hear that all is well with you, or as well as can be expected in the absence of a Seven in your life. Just wanted you to know that I did NOT receive any material from you. No rush to send it out though---Nancy and I are about to leave for New Mexico and we will not return to Pittsburgh until the end of March. We'll be wandering around in the Gila Wilderness--out of touch and out of sight. Bart Lami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Bart...too late, just put yours in the mail today (yours was in the "got to dig up their address from somewhere in my archives" category). Have a safe trip and best my best to Nancy. -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Good to have you back! Looking forward to seeing you at LOG. Hopefully there will be a good turnout of the folks who attended the 50th anniversary Tail of the Dragon event. We are tentatively planning to go back to the Dragon after LOG. That should put us at Tapco Lodge on Tuesday night leaving Wednesday to drive the dragon with our 7 (Without all those fat, slow, cruiser riders in the way - it was very disheartening having to slow down for those guys while pulling a trailer). We can then start for home on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Al, Thank you, I did receive the packet. Have fun on your seven search. Looking for one is almost as much fun as owning one! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soareyes Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't remember if I replied, but I did get my packet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Al, Sorry I didn't reply, but I did receive my packet some time ago. Glad to see you back. You'll be happy to know that your fuel tank now resides comfortably in the boot of my HPC. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Got my stuff too, in December or so. Never noticed the reply request, sorry. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
