Found a cool shot I snapped last summer that I thought was neat so I posted it up. Figured it might help with the January blahs. I'm sick of snow already. Anyways no real point to this thread other than sharing the pic. Enjoy

 

Beautiful picture man. I miss summer so much also. Your car is sweeeeeettttt. I just look at winter as an opportunity to work on my car w/out rushing. Its the only time I can get bigger mods done. I still am anxious for the weather to break.

 

I love it IROC. Im gonna get a shot of my ride with L.A buildings in the background one of these days,I tried before but I failed miserably.I have a digi now though.What city is in your background?Oh yeah...........Seattle,right................

 

Thanks guys! That was quick Yeah winter is good for getting work done on them thats for sure. I'm pulling into the shop next month for a bunch of stuff.

Thats Toronto Canada in the background. Great city for night life and hot women. Good car scene too but not much of a third gen presence. A lot of exotics and of course import mania I love roasting all the high priced stuff the best. They always seem so shocked to get their *** handed to them by an Iroc :rockon:

I love third gens. Whoot!

 

Thats an awsome pic!
to bad it isnt bigger so i could have used it as a background on my desktop

 

:hail:

Thanks man. I have a bigger file I can email you if you want. Shoot me a PM

 

sweet camaro, nice picture

 

Hey need for speed,youre avator looks like a good desktop background ...............

 

That looks like a really clean car. Very nice. Do you have any other pictures of it? I would love to get a shot of my car with the NYC skyline at dusk this year. Nice photo.

 

Thanks again its nice to hear. The most common question I get asked about when I'm on the road is...

"What kind of car is that?"

Sad sad sad.

Of course there is the odd maniac with a mini-van full of kids who darn near run me off the road to get a better look and tell me about the one he used to own back in the day... This one guy in particular almost crashed his van while he was trying to yak to me while driving alongside. Pretty funny when that stuff happens

 

that is a pretty sweet car and deff. a awsome pic. here are a couple of my other favorite sunset pics just for fun

Is that your black one^? That car is niiiiiiice!!!!!

 

Very nice car 87roc. That is probably one of the best thirdgen pics I have seen. Well done man.

 

Thanks very much

Yeah that black Iroc is very sweet. I wanted to paint mine black but decided on a white with a silver pearl instead. Its a very subtle pearl and you can only see it when the light is just right.

 

pretty nice heres my sunset sadly rims arent on or the grille in that pic :lala:

 

that first pic looks like DFW (DEE F DUB!)

 

.

 

The borbets look awesome on your IROC. Nice to see another guy from Ontario on the boards. Im in MIssissauga myself....jsut 15 minutes from TO and maybe like 40 mins from Richmond Hill

great car. if you got more pics....post em up or send em my way

 

Thanks. Yeah man not much of a third gen presence around here... Well at least not any cars that are not destined for the wreckers at least I will try to get out to some f body events this summer so perhpas you can see it in person. I have been planning a real cool shoot for years but one day will have to put time aside to do it. Its gonna be complicated but the results should be killer.

 

Its Summer everyday here, life is a Beach.

 

Nice ride. Yeah I know its great down there. My parents winter in Florida. I have been there many times and loved it. I really like St Augustine. My kind of place. Good food, easy going, drive onto the beach and fish all weekend. I was there last year. The Carolina's I really dig too. I drove from here down many times. I took A1A from St Aug all the way down to Miami stopping wherever we felt like for as long as we wanted. It took over two weeks between stops and then we drove to Key West just to go all the way. Amazing Trip of a lifetime. 8000 miles and five weeks in total. West coast is next. I haven't been to California in twenty five years.

 

Thanks, sorry about the cold weather and snow and everyone parked cars for the winter.

 

Yeah its tough but there are some really good things about it. Every spring that first ride in the car is soooo nice and satisfying. Its always the best ride of the year. I've owned many cars and its still the same every spring cause you miss it and really soak it up. Plus winter provides you with plenty of time to fix/build them just right.

 

87roc_t56, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of wheels are those? I think someone mentioned Borbets earlier, I don't think I've heard of that company.

I'd also love a full-size pic if you don't mind e-mailing it to me, Jones3451@charter.net .

 

Those are 17" Borbet Type T's but sadly they discontinued that model.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Love the car and the wheels! I would love that bigger version of that picture and any other pictures if you don't mind. Feel free to send them on over! belyk85@hotmail.com:hail: :hail:

Here is a cool shot I took a few years back during a september sunset at a car show.

 

you can barely even see that car

 

I think that's a pretty cool lookin pic shifty.

 

i sure do miss summer!!!

 

Nice car, nice pic! I too miss summer and hate winter with a passion. I swear one day I will move somewhere like Phoenix or San Diego where its always sunny and warm.

I like those wheels too. :hail:

 

mmm... summer...

 

I can't wait till the snow clears so I can go cruising again. By the way, your supposed to run your car atleast once a month right, if your storing it?

 

Thats kinda funny man cause I started mine up today. Can't go anywhere with all the salt and snow but I do run it at least once a month.

 

IMO that parking lot needs a few more burnout marks

Great pic though 87roc!

 

I just wish there was a parking lot like that here in hawaii... there's always a bunch of poles in the way.

 

ive been praying to the warm weather gods.

 

Yeah here too usually. I was quite surprised when I got down there and found a fresh paved clean empty lot. Initially I had no plans to shoot the car just my Uncles new 45' sailboat and the harbour but I couldn't resist when I saw the background. I think it was a Tuesday eve or something. You would never know that lot was there if you did not get through the gates and zig your way down such a long almost lane sized driveway. Its like most of the harbourfront here loaded with private boat clubs.

 

87roc, sweet car man. I'm from toronto as well. We should hookup this spring/summer for a few meets.

Nope. Just let it sit so that it only has one oil starved start-up and not a bunch. There is nothing wrong with letting an engine sit over winter.

 

Mmm..summertime...

 

i thought it was seattle too

 

That makes three of us Im actually rediculously close to 87, my dads house is in the same town and moms house is just up in markham so like 15 extra minutes (well 7 in the camaro ) also theres a member on this board i think his name is Steve383 me and him are buddies and hes currently in the process of buying a gta that is most likely going to be a bit of a fixer upper. Regardless we should definitly all get together and ogle at each others cars.

 

well thats an issue that is not so cut and dry IMO. Its good to fog them down and not start them but to store them dry and not run them once in a while is risky. My oldest brothers 70.5 Z sat idle for a year and a half and one of the piston rings married/rusted into the cylinder from condensation we figure and snapped a chunk of ring off on start up. No real big damage but a drag and potentially very costly. If you store and dont run then you should fog. Just my



As far as you local guys looking to meet up there are plenty of cool events through TFBM each year. I have not yet joined but plan on attending some events this year ( Cayuga perhaps? ) so watch out for threads in the Southern Ontario board once the season begins and hopefully we can all get out to some together. If not just post up where you guys are going to meet up and if i can I'll go.
