Well, that was interesting. By my reckoning, there were about 60 cars at tonight's meet.

Great turnout, lots of good people. Let's do it again soon.

Nice to finally meet you David...The 1st drive out was exhilarating...i got lots of video footage on the drive, but maybe about 30secs worth after editting...
i'll try and get it worked on and post it sometime next week.

gosh, when were sitting at the third light with everyone side-by-side, it sounded as if we're in a F1 challenge...lol

btw, did someone blow their motor lastnight on the way to abfd?...because i saw a white domestic car with a huge grey cloud over it pulled to the side...

dub "club exhilarate"...haha

Yes, but mainly a photo session followed by a short cruise. It was a nice turnout. Keep watching this thread to stay updated on upcoming events.

Nice meeting you too! I'm sure all of us look forward to seeing the photos and video footage. I'm not aware of any blown engines last night. I hope everyone followed the cruise etiquette guidelines, which includes not doing anything reckless on the road. It's important to keep a level head at these meets as there always will be a lot of fast machinery which tends to get people's adrenalin going.

Hope to see you next time!

IMHO it was definitely time well spent, you hardly see so many nice cars all at the same time. Heck, it was even better than the auto show we just had.

It was meant to be one group, but people just got separated in the traffic.
