Here's some pics I took from the "Big Event". Sorry to say I wished to have taken some more but poor planning on my behalf led to dead batteries :(

Had a blast and it was great to meet some new folks. Here's some pics. I also put these same photos on a page here (http://www.wildyoats.com/da_big_drive.htm) :

I'll post my pics after I get them developed and scanned in. I really doubt they turned out very well though.

I only remembered to take one picture

my car parts begging to be installed:

and some rice to make me feel better about myself:

That rice makes me feel better about myself too.

hmmmm it only makes me feel worse

holy orange M3 batman! Is that the really rare copper color you can only get in 97, I forgot the name.

:lol Here, this ad my help you think of the name..... :rofl

(sorry Ben, the opportunity presented itself once again, let me buy you a brewskie next time) :stickoutt

Now, to make up for that, I wanted to personally thank Ben for putting together a great, well communicated drive. The organization was superior down to the walkie talkies. You deserve a big round O' applause for putting it together. It may not seem that difficult to some, I can truly appreciate the effort as I understand it is no easy task organizing such a deal. From the "father/son" talkings :D , to the Fuddruckers res, good job man.

Someone post more pics!

Someone post more pics!

amen brethern.

Weak pic count thus far.
Even if they came out kind of shitty, post them anyway.

...and then as you drive off in your car with newly installed mods, you begin "test" the new capabilities. Oops! Did I forget to tighten your lug nuts? I thought those extra bolts were something I got to keep for another car? You mean to tell me I am not supposed to exacto knife your CAB's? Don't torque the spark plugs to 150 Nm? No wonder they kept turning and turning and turning.... and that "breather tube" I installed in the bottom of your gas tank is complimentary.

:D

Geez

What ever happened to I'm gay and I'm proud. I mean it works for Ben.

HAHA!

Ben's happiness = Gay pride

I never knew why he was so happy. I am telling his wife.

No, on a second look the byzanz M3 has contours and in the 3rd pic you can see it in the background. In the foreground there's a BRIGHT ORANGE M3 with doublespoke 2's, was that custom paint or an individual?

Yeah, what happened to the video some of the others took?

Pic count is lame. We'll have to do better next meet. We will have to actually stop for pictures somewhere.

I passed several guys with video cameras going. Someone must have something more then what we've seen.

Maybe the nOObs are still fixing that flat tire?

:dunno

nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOObs!!! !! Where did you go!

I'll go on a drive and look for them.

:cool

I wactched the video that my friend took and it looked like the camera man was having a seizure :eyecrazy

I'll se if I can get anything out of it.

Jb, I worked fouteen hours yesterday so I probably wasn't in a good mood for that last post :mad

Yeah, what happened to the video some of the others took?


I'm still trying to edit the video that I shot. I dont know how good its going to be, but I like it. If my freaking throught would ease up on me then I wouldnt have to sleep all the time and I could actually do some editing.

quick question what font is used for driveAddict?


what the hell, might as well tell you all a quick story of the meet...
Through out most of the meet, whenever I would put in the clutch to shift my rpms' would jump to a little into redline. this was really freaking me out because I thought my car was dying. sometimes it would do it, other times it wouldnt. but then Finally, when I was dropping my buddy off I looked down and my stupid floormat, and it was resting just on the bottom of my accelerator. man I'm an idiot. anyways.... I'll let you know when I have the vid done.

Ok, I hurried and finished the vid, I did kind of a crappy job. this version is pretty low quality, but small file size (6.26mb) hopefully by tonight I will have a lot better quality one. I am trying to figure out 5.1 surround sound. if I can figure that out, I will have it in the next one.

again, sorry if its lame...
