Chicago Meet, June 24 v.Pics

Alrighty, so the Chicago crew got together today. I just wanted to personally thank Marcus for putting this together.

It was really nice meeting all you guys and hope to do it again soon. Ill have the 3 pics I took up sometime the evening.

Marcus, I need to know about that car wash soap and wax you were talking about.

PS: Yes, I get lost on the way back...lol. Stupid Garmin.

No. Stupid Garmin took me back home via IL-12. Talk about slow.

That actually sounds like a great idea. What about a cruise to starved rock? There are some nice twisty roads there.

Antero: Ofcourse the day that you brag on the Garmin it lets you down
I just thought you lived out that way or something.

Hydeaway: Sweet ride man, what is the year and model of your Porshce?? I know it is a turbo w/tiptronic but I don't know much else about porsche.

I took them to where I-94 meets I-80. I saw you go west on I80. Your 210 is without question one hot ride! When you see your car closing from a distance it looks scary!

Real Cars
Guys,

Thanks to all for coming out - it was definitely a good time and a nice day for a cruise! Everything worked out and no problems - which is always a good thing.

I'm already working on the next meet - I think we may do a BBQ over at CPT and maybe setup a little dyno day? He's got a nice shop w/ plenty of parking so it may be a good way to spend a nice hot july day. Thoughts?

Im in for whatever we do next. Please please please PLEASE get those videos up ASAP. Id really like to take a look again at how much you pulled on me. Something just doesnt seem right considering you also had another person in the car. Like I said before, I have no problem with you E55's beating me, just not by that much.

The videos will be available for purchase on DVD. Just email me at: are.you.kidding.me@whowouldreallybuythat.com


Seriously, I will post the vids soon. I just got the camera on saturday so I am still figuring out how to edit and chop them. The footage is pretty good but I wish we could have set the runs up better, since everything was spur of the moment I don't even know the beginning and ending speeds for them. With more practice with the camera, I think the vids from the next meet (hopefully soon) will be better. Once I figure out how to edit them, I will post them up.
