Was an excellent day.

Slideshow of my pix is here:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ection=reverse

Saw some really gorgeous cars, made some more new friends (including Mr. Peepers' 'dad'!), met up with a couple guys from previous shows too (Mike, Kris, Allen among others) and had just a wonderful time.

Gonna be a long wait til next year, heh.

First time caravan to SS was fun, over 40 cars... until we got to the 5 then it turned into indy500 lol.

Good weather, good people, & lots of sexy cars.

I'm so bad at remembering names, from now on anyone I meet at SS, I'm just gonna call them "Mike." Seems the way to bet!

Mr. Peepers was popular with everyone except the guys parked right behind when you opened that mother up... They got a dirt sammich!

It's just part of the ambiance... like that wonderful smell when hundreds of rotaries fart to full-choked life at the same time, when the line-up starts moving.

Likely what LA smelled like in the early 50's, heh.

I agree Mike, this was the most fun SevenStock event for me as well -- as for the reason why-- simple, I couldn't take 1000 pictures like I had planned, because bonehead forgot to check the rechargeable NIKON battery. I was great getting to forum members. Enjoyed seeing and HEARING your PP.

As it turned out, not looking through a view-finder, afforded me the chance to just BS with a a bunch of cool rotorheads.

Biggest and best turn-out of Sevens and Eights i can remember, especially the 40 first gens, and most of those were first timers.

Justice reigns -- CONGRATS to DivinDriver on a well deserved Best First-Gen RX-7 award (cool rotor trophy bling!). Hard work and passionate perseverance creating the most unique and desirable original 12A.

Thanks for posting pics!

I am having a little trouble finding a jeweler who can mount a neck-chain to that bling, so I can wear it everywhere I go, but other than that, life's been good.

That gave me a good chuckle. I wish I would've been able to come to SS, maybe in the future.

totally agree that this years was so much fun and had so much to see. i really feel i did not have enough time to see and meet as many cars and owners as i wanted to. although i did meet a few really cool people and seeing so many first gens in one place was really cool (i was the guy with the only gold FB)

hopefully next year ill get to go again and stick around the first gen crowd more! ill post up my pics soon

Gracias, Stu; Your assistance with my lil projects was up there with me!

Secret? What secret? Take 'em out, chemically strip'em clean of old paint, spray with several light coats Duplicolor "Trim Black", then carefully wipe the raised sections with a rag misted with brake cleaner until the chrome shows through.

You have to refresh them occasionally. They live in a harsh environment.
