Lol I managed to squeeze 25 out of the IS and I was extremely grateful to have it. I definitely miss my Celica's gas mileage. Anyone want to trade? Hahaha

how about sometime in september, maybe when things cool off a little but before the leaves change or just as they do? gotta be careful, gets chilly down by the river with the breeze.

I think September would be great, maybe the weekend of the 11th & 12th or 25th & 26th.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the next meet. I need to start seriously saving up for the motor swap. Once I've started saving, it won't take long at all. But for now, I will have to hold back. I will be at every meet after that though!

Hope you've got all your car troube lined out, Shig. I'd love to make it to the next meet, but I really need to be saving up for a motor for my Celica. Maybe I'll have it running again before the next big meet. I can't wait to see everyone else's pictures and Stambo's video of the cruise.

Alright guys.... Here we go smile.gif

A few of everyone hanging out...























Enderswift whose car was hit the very next morning. At least we have pics of it while it was still looking good..































Tom setting up his auto x camera for the cruise...



She almost got everyone in this pic...the red one was hiding...



Pics of the hike...









Taking a break...



Hanging around the mini waterfall...



The big waterfall from last time was barely running this time...







This little guy was camouflaged wink.gif



Nice sunlight...





I'm not sure why everyone was ducking...



This bridge was still under water like it was a month and a half ago...



Some last parking lot pics...







I wonder what this says about the girls who live here?




I'll post up the little vid that I have later...

Looks like an album cover for a band. Similar to "Abbey Road." Great shots!
