so is there a meet this Saturday?

 

Yes there is but I dont know who will be there. Valentines weekend, NBA All start weekend, Opening games tonight olympics start tomorrow. And I have my 100 bike ride tomorrow, in Palm Springs.

 

I can't make it tomorrow.

 

alrighty... looks like another month then...

 

yeah, I havent' heard anyone talking about it in the SoCal Lounge so I'd say next month looks like it should be much more active

 

Wow, you guys are still here. I haven't even seen your baby Casey/Michelle (sorry Michelle) hopefully I will soon ... and congrats to you Keith/Erica. Strange to think your baby was born on the worst day of my life but I'm so happy for you and will be sending prayers. Maybe someday I'll even go on a cruise again???

 

hey sherry... you missed our mega re-union meet last month! most of the old gang all showed up... (and i was late as usual... hahahaha)

sorry to hear yo had a terrible day last week. hope things get better

maybe we'll see u next month? take care!

 

i'm sure next month i will go get more stuff and show up !! by new look

 

can anyone tell me when there are rx8 events or car shows

 

Lesper how is the car starting?

 

has a hard time starting but everything else if fine.

 

had the flu last week. it was really bad on monday and tuesday. it's pretty much over now, but i still have to blow my nose every so often and it gets annoying. i'm much better now though even though i'm still needing to blow my nose.

 

awsome video Casey, I'm so upset that I didn't turn on the camera on my runs...I thought I did

It is amazing to see how harsh we are on that little car....only 2 tenths away from Bill now....I think that is more amazing.

 

that whole thing is done is 2nd gear! LOL.

 

top speed in 2nd gear is 73 mph I believe. Casey has a data logger on the car and I think that is where the rev limiter is at 2nd gear.

There were a couple of sections where we really needed to shift up to 3rd, as we were on the bump for too long..but it would have been for only a short blip of 3rd and then back to downshifting.

When we go to El Toro events, the tracks are usually long and narrow, but lend themselves to higher speed sections and slaloms....some 80mph stuff....it is fun.

 

I talked to a guy who was driving a Dodge Viper, he actually launches in 2nd gear due to the torque in 1st gear...and even he stays in 2nd the whole time.

 

^that is intresting

 

wow, that's some intense torque there!

 

Hey Gerry did you see BMWs new commercail with their efficent dynamic concept car?

 

brady pics...for those interested.

 

that's a cute kid

 

He is a good looking boy!

So Jorge you never told us what car you got, just spit it out already.

 

Congrats Keith & Erica!

Loren> yah, pretty neat commercials...

What ride did Jorge get? :scratch:

 

is this page messed up for anyone else?? ever since that video was posted, it doesn't appear aligned properly.


You know, I'd totally forgotten that I hadn't told you guys yet, sorry about that I'd meant to post pics much sooner.
Gerry: you're gonna be proud of me...

 

yes, the page is shifted to the right.....
