Well for the first time everyone that said that where going to go acually showed up! which is rare in all meet ups!
10 am we meet up at the Rancho Sandiego Petter Pippers Pizza. We talked and looked at each others cars and finalized the plans for the short trip. 11 am we left up the mountain on the 94 east.
We did some easy crusing and lots of fast turns and loooooong straightaways. Top speed was about 95-100mphs and tight cornerings and long banked turns at about 40-55mphs. Jons elise was like a train on tracks and Johns TT Z was a beast on the straights.
We stopped and ate in a japanese place in Alpine and sat and talked and shared stories and laughs. In all I had great time and it was an easy laid back trip with great guys. it all ended at 1 45 pm and it was really nice.

Great pics! Trip was a blast. Car ran and handled great, though I did find one little issue when I got home and was cleaning up: my VS V1 rear skirt started to melt right above the exhaust tips! I had never driven the car as far or as hard since I finished it up, so didn't have any issues until now. Guess I'll have to drop the exhaust, touch up the skirt and see if I can bend the hangers down to get the tips a bit lower to hopefully prevent it from getting worse next time. Oh well, not bad for a shakedown run if that's my only issue, lol. Can't wait for the next one on the 23rd!

Oh, is it? I'll have to check it out closer next time. Most molded ones I see completely mold in the top edge so it's flush with the bumper, but that's sweet if yours is molded to keep that edge and make it look like a character line in a one-piece bumper.
You can find a stock 05 with ~10K miles for ~$36.5K if you shop around. I will emphasize that this car isn't for most people as it's a purists car. It is stiff, uncomfortable, completely impractical - and it being British it comes with quarks that will make many go crazy...
