^ Great write-up.

I'll throw a couple more other shots up and that's probably it, unless a pix thread is made. Lots of editing to do on most (only shot in jpeg) BRB...

The first one looks like, we are racing to our cars for the start of something....

Second one, is my fav....good composition with Jack' NSX kicking up rocks, btw... hows your windshield look...and showing the road ahead.

Third one, those palm trees say it all....windy!!!

Great camera you got there. Put it in the hands of a good photographer and just look at the results. Great shots John, hope to see more from your collection.

I have one to post tonight, the rest are still (have been downloading from the CF card to backupdrive). Lots of time to transfer due to shot in Raw+Jpg.

Is that your CS? I lub them wheels.

You are too kind on the second car, the wheels do not even stand up to yours. This shot caught it in the root beer bronze look. The other shade is maroon or InterLagos Fire. As far as the suspension/spacers goes. First off I think you have the drop already and just need to kick out the wheels.

So mine are Koni yellows, H&R springs, SPC upper control arms & H&R spacers with 15mm front and 20mm rear.

btw: great shot, it's usually very difficult to catch it in the root beer shade.

John did a great job on the panoramic shot!

CE28Ns! AG has the cars, he has the job, he has the lady! All that car needs now are some new brakes to fill out the wheel space!

Nice pictures, I like the background too, gives a Midwestern state look. I really missed a good one.

COOL! We were in the chrome silver 350 when you merged on. We wondered if you were joining us and happened to time it perfectly

Kewl..I was in the InterLagos Fire. Hoefully you did not catch any rain. We lucked out, no rain from Hollister onward.

I had fun at Hearst Castle, but it was too windy up there. I ended up catching the flu somewhere along the way. Anyway, overall it was nice to see such a great display of machines.

^You should've spoke up when you saw any of us. It wouldn't have been rude by any means to inquire what all that was about.

Agree very windy at Hearst Castle (we went Sunday), but it didn't rain on our group until we headed back home Monday, which lessened the further North we went.

Were you the couple I saw Monday morning around the fire pit area and breakfast chow down?
The couple I saw had this look on their faces of 'wow this is something else with all these people who know one another'
We were getting ready to head back home that morning.

Anyway, thanx for chiming in

We would not haven bitten...Jack and the other NSX couple would have kept you up for hours talking about the NSX.

We all get along, no matter what we are rolling with; it’s the sports car comradeship. Now there is no excuse, we expect to see you next year, same place, same time.
