Photo shoot in Columbia, MO.

My roommate and a buddy of ours have just started a photography business and Im looking into getting a bunch of 8's and other cars out sometime soon (possibly Spring, unless we keep having decent weather) and cruise around and let me get some practice with their new expensive cameras. My roommate has only had one session with another car, my other roommates 97 240sx. They turned around really well. It could be a good way to get to know some of the guys on here and get some good pictures taken of our cars. Let me know what you guys think.

It could be worth the drive. Check up from time to time or PM me and see what the list looks like. Im hopeful that a few cars will want to join in and it could turn out to be a fun afternoon/evening.

surprising there aren't more 8's on campus. Seems like the town is flooded with them. I'm at MU a lot visiting friends on campus from KC so hit me up when you might get together. I see other yellow ones in town, not like mine though

We might have to all get together sometime soon and hit up South Providence? It seems the weather might start getting a little bit better. Let me know what you guys think.

hey sean if you saw my car up at mizzou arena and came to get your tickets you prolly talked to me. i work in the ticket office. but as always let me know when you guys are getting together, im always down to cruise, expecially when the weather looks like this!

i think black mesh wheels would look sick on a lightning yellow!

My roommate flooded my once. Took me forever to get it started again. I had just gotten out of the hospital at like 5:30 in the morning and he tried to move it at like 8:00. I tried everything, finally got it started. Side note, I think I'm in need of either a new set of plugs or a BHR coil upgrade, or both. Cars running a little different the past couple of days. I've heard that the 8 goes through a set of plugs about every 30,000 miles? My car is about 58,000. We'll see.

I'd say plugs, wires and coils. If you haven't done any of those, might as well!
