For some reason i cannot unzip the file, could you e-mail them to me?

thompsolonian@gmail.com

thanks!!

And anyone else who took pictures, please e-me them, thanks!!

**EDIT**I tried downloading the zip then opening, and opening directly after download, neither worked.**

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the file was not finished uploading at the time of my post. It took about 1.5 hours to finish, so If you started the download before it was done uploading, it probably ended up corrupt.

The .zip is 297 MB which is too large to send through E-mail. (Gmail limits attachments to 20MB)

I'd recommend trying the download for the .zip again. let me know if you still have issues.

It worked, Thanks. didn't think of that...Anymore pics anyone?

I was out riding motorcycle for the day, didn't even realize it was going on today. I was wondering why I saw so many rx8's in my area today.

Who wants to go on a drive up to Duluth come mid/late September. It would be a great way to get a nice, long drive in and see the beautiful colors fall has to offer.

I can try to better organize this one this time, I can develop maps and stops, and maybe little scenic detours. Duluth zoo may be a good ending spot.

Who's in?

I put a post on the Midwest Z forum, trying to make it a joint event.

I just drove my car up there last weekend. Road is good most of the way until you get to Duluth where they have road construction. That should be closer to done by the time Fall arrive. Remind me I would like to drive up there again to see leaves changes color in the fall.

Thompsolonian

The Changing of the leaves is mainly why I want to go, I also want to stop in Cloquet, they have the 50's diner, Gordy's Hi Hat i think, been there a couple of times...amazing food.

I still want to make Duluth zoo our stopping point when we get up there. I am also wondering if we should make it a weekend thing, we can drive up there on a Friday, find a cheap hotel, go to the zoo on Saturday, and possibly Betty's Pies a few minutes north (Well worth the trip AND the wait) and drive back Sunday?

Or we could make it a day in/day out trip...up to majority vote...

If you want to see beautiful leave colors, I would say a drive along Old 61 route is the best. It is a two lane highway along the lake with plenty of places to stop taking photo and park. Goose Berry Fall is another good place to visit. I went to Duluth Zoo before and I agree that it would be a good stopping point. It has big parking lot so we can park away from others. Hopefully they done fixing I-35 by that time arrives.

That sounds like a good idea to me, as for lodging, the Villas at Spirit Mountain are pretty nice, they have 2 bedrooms apiece, and I see availability, we could possibly go 6 to a villa, did that all the time in scouts, cut the cost down quite a bit. Here is the website for more info:

If you got any more or different ideas, bring them here!

Was anybody else here at the Stillwater fireworks on the 4th? I saw a white 8 there with a rear paint job mimicking Shakeyourbrakes (another club member.) Was wondering if anybody in here might have known who that was?

The GTI had it's moments. It definitely gets the nod in interior space and surprisingly raw grip, since it had the same width tires with stickier rubber on a lighter car. But the 8 is faster in a straight line and transitions better, and more importantly it's more fun to drive.
