I don't think we'll be sticking around much after lunch. I will bring a camera but can't guarantee the posting since I've had bad luck at it lately.........

[phoenixr2]

we can get them hosted if you need. I just need someone with a good digi cam to take the pics. last time the person never got the pics uploaded or to me, so nobody got to see the pics from the mini meet at sonic:(


:D

[oldster]

I think we can handle that then. Now we just need some more people going.

Wow, that's pretty rough - what does this position pay? I wouldn't do #3 for less than $20/hr I would think.

Nothing stated about the passenger not bitching about your driving though!

Applications will be accepted at Pikes Peak Acura the morning of the event. Those who advise management earlier will be given first consideration...........:)

[Shortee]

YAYYY! I WOKE UP AT 6AM ON A SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chrispy]

I guess i woke up a bit late for this,, its not like my grand am would make it anyways.

[oldster]

A big thanks to those that attended the first annual Aspen Lunch Run. A special thanks to Dan who was the staff photog and rode with me all day without wimpering or sulking once...........:) It was a gorgeous day and we will have to do it again.

[phoenixr2]

yep, thanks guys. it was a blast, no cars or people hurt, or tickets, Id say we made out good! thanks for the ride lyle, it was a blast.

:D

[phoenixr2]

That does sound good - sorry I didn't attend oldster. I DID spend the day installing a kictchen sink, and a ST rear sway bar on my Accord (which now in conjuction with the H&R springs and KYB AGXs is starting to be fun in the corners!), if that's any excuse.

[Phoenix]

Cant wait to see the pics and a video if you have one. i drove 900 miles yesterday and did not see one mr2 :( oh well, hope it was fun guys.

[MR2Fast]

Hurry up and post that stuff I am still stuck at work.

[Shortee]

YAY! Thanks for another good time!!
Granted, I only rode in the NAs, I still had a blast.
What a beautiful day for this drive. I'm surprised so many other clubs were out (Corvettes, Land Rovers, Bikers..)
Thanks again! Hope to do it again real soon!

[midshipdrifter]

I really had a good time yesterday. Kinda nice to be have one more meet like this before I move. The pics we got yesterday I'm sure will get posted here soon once I get them to Andy.

Thanks again for a good time! (Even with a couple serious brushes with near death for me...)

[Shortee]

Wait... who are you?

[Trixter]

Heh, Adam ;)

[Shortee]

Muahahah I know who you are now! *poke*

[Trixter]

Since he just sent me the link, I'll go ahead and post it:

[Jarod]

Car looks mean as heck, Adam :)


P.S.

The first thing I look for in a picture of a MR2 is if the hood vents are raised or not. Hah. (not intended for anyone inparticular :)

jk nice cars guys.

[phoenixr2]

cool pics andy/adam. I wanted to get some of the half in car shots but seeing as I was using someone elses equiptment, I didnt want to take any chances, lol. this pic is baddd.... I just wish it was a full car shot.

That pic was when we were turning into that lake, and Adam's camera had this annoying _sec pause after pushing the button so sometimes aim was lost by the time it was snapped.

So did Christine's! That sucked! I ended up with pictures of like the sky.. or tires. WTF mate!? Oh well.. glad most of them turned out anyways. Good photo skills, Andy.

[Trixter]

Yeah, unless you use a manual setting, the camera auto focusses to whatever's closest to the center of the frame. I know how to use manual settings, but it's almost impossible to do it on the fly while moving...

[Revlis]

lol yeah my camera was ghey like that :D

but overall the pics were great hehe and it was fun. even though Lyle tried to kill us a couple of times.. LIKE RANDOMLY STOPPING...

hehe... we'll never forgot that, eveeeer

and Adam that's neat that my car is faster at first then yours..

:p :D

:p :D

It was only once and it wasn't random, there was a purpose for the stop.............:mad:

Heh, yeah, well that's pretty much the case with any NA running smaller diameter exhaust than me! I had that exhaust done to be used with mods that presently aren't installed due to serious lack of funds... Can we say "static exhaust flow" and "loud popping sounds when cold"? :D Yeah, I really need to pull the $3-$4k together to finish up all the stuff that's been put on hold for way too long. Sadly, that'll take me a very long time on my budget to pay for school :(

[Revlis]

hehe aww well good luck with that :p too bad you're moving.. ass.

and you know i'm just picking on you Lyle <3

[Sphore]

Can someone send me Shawn's email...

[oldster]

He doesn't have one presently.
