I had fun at the cruise. Ha ha next time I hope there are less cops. Those roads were great to drive on. They had a lot of winding sections with good banked curves.

 

Sweet photos kiddo.. Thanks for puttin those up.. My **** camera is not cooperating. Will fight with them tomorrow, sooo tired right now

 

When I have time, I'll boot up photoshop and do some editing work on them. But in the meantime there they are.

Next year lets not start out the day with you getting me pulled over lol.

 

HAHA John got you pulled over? Typical John! haha...

It was a pleasure to meet all the new people. And if the cruise keeps growing like it has from last year. Man that'll be some excitement and it will be tough to fit the cars in the spots! haha. Fun stuff deffinately! I think the official count was 35 cars

 

I as well had a nice conversation with CHP in regards to my driving ability and parking on the shoulder.. LOL

 

here's a mini video of the arrival.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKOzF...ature=youtu.be

 

Thanks for sharing some great pics Bounty Hunter!! I dont think we got to meet each other with so much going on. Next time

 

Home safe and sound. A fun day and great to meet everyone and put real names and faces to avatars! A real big hand to Will for organizing it all. And as a nice bonus, thanks to Southbay fuel injectors and Seafoam, instead of the 225 miles I used to get from a tank of gas I'm at 300 miles with a few gallons to go!

 

I didn't get pulled over.. I called Bounty Hunter 5 min too late and he got pulled over tryin to catch up to us.

Typical... What u tryna say???

 

Duane, I luv ur lil family!! They were a blast to play with. Tell the wife we enjoyed her company and was very glad she decided to come.

Sucks to have a convertible and not kno how to drop the top til the cruise is over, huh?

 

I know you didn't get pulled over!

Im just being a smart *** with that last comment.


Did you hear me yell your name from the restaurant burger?

 

I thought I heard something.... But wasn't sure.. I was too focused on finding a Chevron. How long were u guys there?

 

actually they knock the food out real quick there. I guess we were there for about 30 mins maybe. Then we stopped and gassed up. Then we split up at the 580/680 interchange.

 

Oh ok.. I did the same route, actually ran home thru Stockton

 

So just left vacaville to head to San Rafel and ended up at the back of another cruise lol

 

I saw a13 car Corvette cruise heading north to towards redding last weekend.. too funny.


Where's all the pics and vids. 35 cars and only3 people are posting pics. I can't do mine til I get home from work on Tues.

 

John, Thanks, it was nice to hang out with you and your wife and thanks for helping with the top. We went back on hwy 17 and 280 with it down. We got up near the 92 and James started screaming because he got cold so we pulled off and put the top back.
It was so nice driving a vert with all that power just wanting to be unleashed.

 

I've got a bunch of photos to upload. Ill try to get them done this week, never seem to have enough time. Glad everyone made it home safely, and thanks to everyone who participated to make this a bigger, better, and safer event than last year. Looking forward to next year already!

Will

 

Eh I didnt take many pics I figured everyone else would. lol. I dont have no fancy camera or nothing.

 

Hey guys, it was great meeting everyone! Thanks to Will for setting this up, and Casey for taking pictures! It was amazing to look back in my rear view mirror and see 30+ beautiful thirdgens! Next time, we definitely need to kick back and have a nice BBQ!

 

Yeah I think now that we know how that place is. and that we can actually reserve something. We can set up a more organized BBQ pot luck thing. Although I enjoyed the restaurant burger. immensely.

 

Still think bettys was lil better but don't come across a donut burger very ofter

 

http://www.burgersantacruz.com/menu/burgers/ wow this place looks good.I will try It out one day.Ummm

 

I agree that a potluck would be cool, but with that many people, it's tough. Plus, we weren't there but for an hour or two before participants started to head out. I spoke with the ranger and he gave me an alternate contact number for the park, to make a reservation for a special event. I had emailed and called but never heard back, so if we want to use this location next year, we should all be able to park in a single row.

 

Yeah I have no problem with that as the finish point. Very little through town driving. Seemed alright to me. And know we know what to expect so ppl can bring food, ocean blankets, etc.

 

I thought the two rows facing in a shorter block was good.

 

Hey everyone! Had a great time on Saturday, glad to meet some more new people. Here's a link to the pics I took, you can click on the pics and download the full res pics of the ones you guys like the best.

So who drove the furthest?? I know my total roundtrip mileage was right at 400 miles. I was also happy to have gotten 22.6mpg on the return trip back home!!

 

Well I think Duane drove the furthest. Actually I know he did. But I think Nick or the fresno guys got the most miles in a thirdgen award.

 

Those are some great pics!

 

With time I'll get the most miles in a third gen award!! lol

 

Great pics Nick, as usual. Really diggin' that side shot of mine. Thanks

Will

 

Those are some amazing pictures! Did you use a photo editor or were some of those shots done within the camera's software?
Tommy

 

Thanks!! I used the free trial version of Adobe Lightroom to do all the editing.

 

Mr.IROC-Z your car was very nice. I have to ask what did you do to get those wide tires to fit in the back? Did you roll the fenders and open up the wheel house?

What kind of suspension are you running on your car?

 

Looks like you guys had a great trip and turnout. I agree on Nick's pics, well done.

 

I'm sure the gauges are messed up too lol but the other day It was idling with zero oil pressure & it started to shake & my temp was on the red so I look under the hood & there's coolant all over the damn place. It all leaked out I guess my water pump cracked or something??

 

Nice pictures btw. Kinda want a bird now haha

 

deffinately gotta fix your coolant problem. water pumps cracking does not happen very often. radiators cracking is common. but you'd have to check it out.

 

This was a great event. One of my favorite moments was when we all pulled in to the gas station where the Porsche club was at. All of our cars ran them out of there, ha ha that was great!

 

American cars!
