Finally!!! Pics of my car!!! And Central Illinois Third Gen meeting...

Hey, thanks to dave (hrdrocka4305) for getting these on the computer. My camara had a bug or two in it so I was unable to take pictures yesterday. But I promised everyone pics of my car so here they are and some other club members cars.

BTW that was cool the other day. Gotta love thirdgens...Big thanks to everyone for showing up yesterday. Its good to see these cars being restored/modified. Hope to see all of you next month (and praying we get to see Jon's car and he doesnt sell it!!!)

I dont know, sometimes I get pics above, sometimes I don't but anyways here's the clubs website (for now) address and my car is the red one with the 2-inch cowl induction hood. What does everyone think about my car. And others too?

Finally some pics of your car that don't look like you're jogging around while you take them

All of them look nice, I'll see most of you at Denny's place hopefully.

Yeah, Mac can you make next months meeting. Same time, same place. First saturday of May. We were going to do a cruise to Bradley park and get some really nice pictures but everyone had to get going so maybe next meeting.

Don't leave me to taking pictures, they are all just a blur...kinda like my car going past a cobra! lol

Yeah, thats a Del Sol. its 86streets dad's car. We all laugh at it anyway. But whats even cooler is behind it--a mint condition 94 convertible vette!!

Hmm I see little angelfire boxes.... I should mention that they don't seem to like it when you use them for image hosting much.
I do think I could have done a little better on the pictures, but good enough for now I guess. The little web page took like 10 minutes to make. Oh well, we'll see how things turn out next month.

There were like 3 shots that were the same thing, just different distances. This one was the only one much different than the others I've already posted. I dunno why man, but it seems like your car just never comes into focus right. Maybe its the um, slight texture of the paint job showing up on camera. The digital eye always sees it different than the human eye after all.

BTW - I took the last corner going into school today, the last one before you turn into the lot if you take 150, at a tad over 60 today woooo what a rush. Once I replace the struts, upgrade swaybars, and get SFCs and a STB that things gonna be WICKED in the corners!
