whats up people! This is Will, Monique's friend from the 350z camp (Red 350z).. I took pics of each of your cars that were out there and wanted to share them with you. If anyone wants the original, its about 2.2MB's so I would have to email it directly to you.. If so, email me at "sumfknguy@gmail.com". Attach the smaller picture from here to the email so I know which one to send back.

All I have to say is we were blown away by the turn out! Some shade would have been nice, but worth it none the less. You guys have some awesome rides!

thanks for coming out and we look forward to hangin out sometime soon.. maybe a Z/Rotary meet? Who knows....

enjoy!

Thanks for taking pix of everyone's 8. It was indeed a great turnout.

8/Z meet could be possible.

Welcome to the club!

EDIT: See Monique!

I wish I could have flown it around more. I was a little nervous with all of the people and cars around. A usual flight is around 15 minutes.

I wonder if those people sitting on top of the levee freaked at all. I think I may have come a little close to them one time.

Option #2 on new rotors: http://www.rx7store.net/RX_8_Brake_R...otorrx8set.htm - but I'll probably go with slotted only.

Some suggested in my R1 Concepts thread that I may have pad material build up and that's causing the pulsating feeling that I am attributing to warped rotors. I hope re-bedding the breaks works. Then I'm closer to my REVi instake.

Whatcha think, Casanova? I do like your use of smileys. :D

Oh yeah...Will, thanks for the pics. I think it's safe to say we all had a great time. Next meet I'm bringing my quik shade canopy, though. I'm so freaking sunburned.

I think I'd love a hi-res pic of my BB so I could photoshop the rock chips out and be happy.

It was great seeing everyone again. Dominic- I give up on you (j/k).

Well I have pics up in an album on my myspace of all of our cars except for wayne & surgrgurl. Does anyone have any of theirs? And how in the world did I miss the flying chopper? Well besides Jack’s plastic one…

this meet started with a few of us Z owners wanting to have a get together.. we left it open invite.. I was all for an "import" meet and was more than happy with how things turned out.. we don't have any plans on another meet of that size anytime this year.. i think something like this past Sunday should be a yearly event.. and next year we will def push for another one.. i think if we pushed for something like this too often people would become bored over time.

so next year, when we start making plans.. we will def look for some input from you guys to go along with what to do.. between the Z camp and you all, next years meet should be bigger and better. a lot of people didn't show up maybe thinking that it wasn't gonna be that big of a turn out, but i am sure next year they will remember what happened this year and will make more of an effort to come out.

Also, thanks to everyone that pitched in for the cost of the officer on duty!! much appreciated.

You missed it? Really?

Bill missed it. WHen he saw me crank it up, he dove into his car and got out of there. You should see what those blades can do thin metal.
