Smile Yet More Angeles Crest run Pics - 56K warned

Hi Crew..

The setting on the Camera was 1600x1200x24bit

These are the cut down photos..

If you would like the "original" huge images - Ask and I'll point you to them. Same name different host location.

O.K.

Let's start.... Hey Iris - what is your opinion?

Cheers Amy -

Who was that masked man?


DatonaBlue


How Fast? Fxxking Fast


Smog


Cleaver


Crew


Crew Too !


Crew Three


Yada Yada Four



Cheers Amy -

Smile Humm Those didn't look too Bad.. - But

Humm..

O.K I'll continue - But the 1600x1200 are awsum..

Very Charming


original photo.



Chopped.. Goes Japan Side Often... I miss Japan and Ms. WhiteGod.


This photo is 800x600x24bit the link to full is
http://www.amycroft.com/ac03/img_1785.jpg

For Other's photo's take the "Chopped Number" and replace the numeric above. This will view the 1600x1200x24 72dpi.



Our man Angel has no view to rear mirror, with the awsum sound gear


Obzessing... wanting to GO


Shine - and large tire footprint. Bet it didn't squeal like my 17" 040's in the downhill. ( Front and rear squeal was equal though - I was behind Iris, and she looked poised and good through the turns. She was putting up with a Local's Pickup, but she held the line, low on fuel, no Air Con. )



Get in the car's - Time to go


Please insert uphill photo's here - if you have them..
Next is up on the peak turnout.. And line up the cars/photo shoot.
Be right back, going to play my QuakeII CTF Game... Bier

Smile O.K. Up on the top of the Mountain - Hot

So Iris looks like she works out. Very healthy. Drink lot's of fluid on a day like today.



Mulling around, what to do? Temperature was very High.. Unprepared folks had no liquid's with them.... Liquid's in the Z?
We shared what we had. We didn't want to be another "Donner Party" Ha !



After a little rest under the only bush for shade, out gome the trouper's.. O.K. line up the cars for a Photo Shoot.

Itoku and Iris are up for the game, Me I'm thinking Kampuchia was at least humid.


Line em up. So des!


Raw hide !


About this time a White Toyota Camrey (Jellybean Type) pulls up to the rim. As the older man gets out of the car, I yell "Teacher (Sensai) - move that thing" he and his wife complied.



Mine is the one with offset plates..



This operation took a long time, people are getting shade back in the bush. To the rear, I was out in the sun, Crazy English.




This was taken by a sweet young lady, I was crouching under the Manzanita. Saying - I'm too old for this - She was kind enough to joke me out of my malaze. Drinking Pepsi helped.


Opps Break Time - BRB

The last 10 car's took the longest, High Temp's part of the issue.

Oh - Oh 0-0 - Oh I think I'm going to faint.... Let's go around and take more photo's quick.. Over 100 here at about 4000 feet.



Wow - a Million Dollar's of Z's



It* was still going strong....



Blurry - but get the Idea?


Break time - my honey just came in.

Opps the Kids just came home.. BRB - more to come..

Smile Where is the Sake? Down the hill

So des. Co - Girl - Ba!



Anthony Z - Need a good Detail call him... I have his #


Get in the rides


My ride Lowered - Eibachs - Look in suspension - for how low..

Low Pan - Bounce gone


Down in Palmdale - Between the last picture and this one, a lot
occurred. The run is a lot of sweeping Up the mountain - down the mountain, nothing real dangerous. But the stock Z tires were screetching. Those behind us with the showboats, probably heard no sounds. With their 19" tires 9.5 wide they were going - This is a preety area, why are we going so slow. I was drifting through a few of the turn, and Iris was in front getting miffed a "local Pickup" who went off in the dirt to get out of the way.



My rear "Cat Cam" was on.. But I was not recording to the VCR.
I could not see what was on the rear "Cat Cam" as the Ferenhiet LCD is not bright in daytime.. If VCR was on I'd have got a picture of 3 Z's passing at un-needed speed.





Done - I'm out of here. Ituka and 350Z went to a Comidy Show that night. I was dehidrated and went back home. A side trip to my Hospital I work at and cooled off.

I was worring about Steff... She was going "What are these Guy's going to do?" I think they are going to Bakers Square to Eat and B.S. - Be carefull - I'm out of here. and back to Orange County.


Only tree on one mile block, Crew hangs.


On Street



Going home


This is Iris in Suit

I'll update later..

Iris - I split early and went over 14 to 210 to the hospital I work at "Olive View / UCLA Medical Center Sylmar" went to the Telcom trailer, and poured water over me until I was O.K. Then down to Orange County.

Iris, did I read you were running that course.. With Out Air? brutal for you and yours. Didn't know...

Your Brick was looking good in the downhill, I saw you were playing a little Lean into the curve then set and power on. Yes that is a good way to move fast thru that kind of turm. I saw the Brick doing the classic understeer which most 350Z display. You were very smooth in changing right to left thru the curves. After the Local with the pickup pulled over. I came up a little closer.

Then down on the flat, Three Z's past at about 35 Miles faster than cruise. I didn't think it was a good Idea to get in to that "ricky Racer" and held my hand up to show - Go Pass.

Did one car pull fast in front of you?

Cheers Amer's -

I think Low Pan was just showing off..

Smile Extra note.. Getting on 14 North

Iris

Did you notice the Entrance to 14 North, That is a potential "dangerous intersection" the on coming traffic is uphill, with no light. North Traffic has to Speed to get to speed on the on ramp.. This connector doesn't seem to be "Normal California Code."

Yes your two toned 1981 280ZX N/A is a classic today. And would probably fetch $12,000 U.S.D.

The stock Blue over Silver is the - stressed - The difinitive example of early Z ness.

Question do you have Z-ness envy?

Ha !

Cheers Amy -

Yes a lot has happened from the time's we used to run around Tokyo together.. We ought to go back and go - do the tour..
This time we don't have to do the Kobe Steel dance.
