Pix from Bay Area Dayz / Carlab BBQ

The big pictures are coming, but at 2GB of uploads, it'll take a while The more monitor-friendly versions are now up at:

http://www.treynor.com/Carlab/

... and include a link to send me email if you want the full-size ~20MB JPEG.

Terrific GTG, great to meet a bunch of you, and some very nice cars represented!

A few teraflops later, the medium-size pictures are generated and uploaded - so the same link as in my first message will now produce 1024-pixel images:
http://www.treynor.com/Carlab/

By morning all 2000 MB of full-size JPEGs should have completed the upload. To see a full-size image, go to the image you want to view, and substitute the "Proofs" directory for the "images" in the URL

For instance, the 1024-wide image at: http://www.treynor.com/Carlab/images/CF000588.jpg

Has its corresponding full-size image at: http://www.treynor.com/Carlab/Proofs/CF000588.jpg

Note that the full-size images are 6000-7300 pixels wide and 15-20MB *each*, so proceed with caution They can be uploaded to http://www.mpix.com if you want to make an online print.

The next GTG will be a BBQ Cook Out family fun event since most members are familiar with one another.
That way it'll be one big Benz Family. So make sure you bring your camera and snap up alot pics that way nobody will be left out!

Bay Area Dayz III coming Summer2006

The Big Thank You

To everyone who came to the CarLAB BBQ - I would just like to say an earnest "thanks for coming" . I was literally amazed at the great turnout and even more impressed by the enthusiasm shared by all who attended.

Our photographer of the day was definitely Ben w/ the awesome pictures! (How would you like to look into his screen to see an engine bay SCREW of the Kleemann charger zoomed in from 30 yards away?) Absolutely fantastic! We thank you for your presence. Give it up for the fastest euro of the meet!

To the roadsters - impressive turn out for all of you guys - I thought I would lose some of you to the SLK drive - happy I managed to snag the S7 ! My C-Class crowd - great representation, hope you all remembered to catch the awesome widebody coupe!

I'm holding the VIP list right here so I still know all of your names :p. For the raffles and prizes, I'm hoping I didn't leave anyone out - in fact one of the winners already installed his HIDs (Go Ryan!).

Hope ALL of you enjoyed the meet, I know food was a bummer, but I wasn't in charge in that department, haha. I wouldn't know though - I didn't eat til you all left :p.

And like I said to many of you there about hosting an event like this again. Anytime, just ask and I can get things organized and prepared ASAP.

I had fun that day - albeit still suffering from sleep deprivation - it was worth everything. Till next time?

Regards,
flip
