Hmmmz , I'll see if I'll go , but I think I have to bring my girlfriend along 8/ , no picking up models at this event *sigh* 8/


If I go , I'll bring my friend's too , so I don't look like a loner :p , if you see a yellow rx-8 , and a grey twin turbo 300z and orange/yellowish twin turbo 300z and a blue STI and my bud'z black FD , thats me , I'll try to get X28 (winning blue ) to go too , he called me today and asked if I could chill.

Looks like we got a big meeting :p
