That was a lot of fun. From the pictures, it may seem that all of the roads are straight, but that's because I was busy driving during the twisty parts.

The dog got owned.

Edit to image gallery... blured license plates. (Kinda sleepy so I forgot to do it originally.)

I just noticed that most of the cars don't have front license plates. Aren't they required? (If not, I'm taking mine off tommorrow and throwing it on the dash.)

Also, who's this dude? I saw him at the driver's meeting and at the first pit stop, but not at the tower. Did he bail on his own or did we forget someone?

It's not only a requirement... It's THE law! Don't put it on the dash. If you get in a bad wreck it might chop your head off!


Thanks for the cool pic of my 7, Fisa

Sorry I missed it --

Good news is though that I did spend the day doing something constructive, now have new rotors and pads - no more break squeal!

Def. be on the next one.

Cheers,
Simon

Fisa, Twofer:

Some really nice shots of Sunday's cruise! Thanks for capturing the day and posting for others to see. I just dropped my pics off tonight as I have one of those old fashioned cameras that takes film. Will have my pics back about the weekend.

Would either of you mind if I "take" some of your pics? I want to edit them so that I can post to the scenic drives web site. (Engineers are usually never satisfied with the original results. Just because it ain't broke, doesn't mean it can't be fixed.) Anyway, you will get full credit when posted.

Twofer's shots have good enough resolution to work with, but Fisa, I would like to get some higher resolution JPEGs of your shots. I have a CD-RW disk I can pass to you when next we might meet, unless there is another way you have over the internet.

Twofer, OK, you've "shamed" me into realizing that before the next drive I shall have to not be so lazy and should wash my car before the next drive. One picture shows Steve's nice, shiny wheel, rotor and yellow caliper. The next shot shows John's brake dust coated wheel and caliper, with rust edge accents on the rotor. But at least it is a nice, even bronze-colored coating of carbon-kevlar brake dust. Oh well, I'll clean them real soon.


Was great fun to organize the San Diego RX Club drive and see so many there.


Later,
John

If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features. Go for it!

I've finally had the chance to finish up the photo editing and web site work from this drive, as well as some other past activities.
(Like last year's Hangover Run and the Karting Challenge.)

Check out the direct link below to the drive photos.

Fisa, when I get your hiigher res shots, I will work them in.


If anyone else has pictures from the drive, send them my way if you want them included.


Later,
John
