View Full Version : What a great weekend at the beach!
325Driver 04-12-2004, 10:21 PM Well I drove down to my family's beach house the weekend in Panama City Beach for Easter Weekend/my b-day (today 4/12). I had a great weekend, played golf on Saturday and got to see Lefty win the green jacket on Sunday. Anyhoo, I snapped some pics I thought you guys might enjoy.
This first is actually 5 pics stitched together to form one impressive panoramic shot IMHO.

This next one is of a beautiful Italian inspired house in a neighborhood across the street from mine.

This one is of a house 3 1/2 years in the making, its simply ridiculous, I mean the thing looks like a ship, what more can be said.

adeelpowers 04-12-2004, 10:30 PM wow. that car is shiny! what kind of wax do you use?
punknamedjimmy 04-12-2004, 10:36 PM dude seriously, wash your car everyonce and a while.
325Driver 04-12-2004, 10:37 PM wow. that car is shiny! what kind of wax do you use?
Don't let the pics fool you, the car is covered with spider webbing and swirl marks which will be remedied this summer. At the moment there really isnt any wax left on the paint, what you are looking at is clear coat and not much else. But the last time it was clayed and waxed I used Mother's I believe, which I don't recommend.

Section8 04-12-2004, 10:53 PM Hey that looks alot more like Seaside than PC, Seaside is brick driveway central. Where in PC is that? (I'm a floridian in disguise). :cool:

Either Seaside or Seagrove (I'd lean towards the latter).
325Driver 04-12-2004, 11:03 PM Technically the city the house is located in is PCB, but the community the house is in is Seacrest Beach North on 30-A about a mile East of 98. Its essentially across the street from Rosemary Beach for a reference point.

All of 30-A (all they way to Grayton Beach) is :cool: to me.

Yup, that's about my favorite stretch of beach along the Gulf coast except for St. George Island and Cape San Blas. The dunes are just so high over there, I guess they've been lucky and not had too many huge storms the past 10-15 yrs on that stretch. I 'grew up' on St George island (at least on the weekends when it was warm, like March till November..) :redspot
I camped at Greyton Beach a few years ago with some friends before I moved to the South's 'Northern' city. Was mucho fun, 'Coons the size of small dogs raiding the camp at night. Great times.
:alright
BimmerDawg 04-13-2004, 08:41 AM Sweet pics. Happy birthday, too! :D
Ron17 04-13-2004, 09:17 AM I'm going down to Destin this weekend with LA and we're meeting up with Ray (350Z).
Should be fun!!
blk97m3 04-13-2004, 10:50 AM ive seen that house a million times it is rediculous i really wonder if they ever will finish that house
VANCE 04-13-2004, 01:05 PM i was down there last year. we rode by the boat house. they havent made much/any progress!
///M3///M5 04-13-2004, 02:41 PM That is right down from Seagrove and Seaside Beaches (South Walton). I was just there all last week for spring break and i have the same pics of the italian house and sand castle house on my camera. Ironic that we were there at the same time.
325Driver 04-13-2004, 05:34 PM Thanks for all the compliments guys. It amazes me that so many of us have spent time in pretty much the same place in FL, cool stuff.
