I was up at the ass crack of dawn cleaning my wheels and the bugs off of my front bumper. It was mostly successful. As good as it could have been for being half asleep. The car is still filthy though

Either way.. I have my camera with me to take pics.

3GSTEALTH has just arrived at the park. When you go in the main entrance, make the first left and follow it to the end near the basketball courts. That's where he is.

See you guys there.

Dingo, post some pics of you Z06!
Also, the Aspec kit and your wheels look great!
Jayvee, your TL is tight! Your wheels do look better in real life! Great job with the foglight mod!

Sorry I couldn't make it guy, there just wasn't enough time. I definitely want to come out to future meets.

I did get a chance to meet up with a buddy of mine to shoot his Turbo E36. The pics came out amazing and his car looks insane with TEAL Varrstoen 2.2.0 17x9 +12.

It was nice meeting you guys today. Hopefully next time we can coordinate a better place to take pictures and keep it in Tampa. The traffic on 275 was ridiculous.. I didn't get home until after 8:30. I really enjoyed the food at that place, though. Anyway, I'll start looking through my pictures tonight and post a link when I'm done.

Thanks again to everyone. Hopefully we can do this again soon.

My apologies for some missing pictures.. I had the aperture stopped down a bit too low on a few shots and they came out horribly overexposed. This is especially true with the white cars. I hate it because I REALLY like Jesse's (sp?) car. Anyway, I picked out a few shots that came out alright... we desperately need a better spot to shoot next time. I will bring a better lens AND won't leave the aperture open so wide. I thought it would be alright.. blah.

This was a quick download/upload. No editing has been done to these photos. My apologies for the overexposure. Especially on your car, Justin. I feel like this could be edited. I'll let you know how it comes out. I really love the photo of the cars lined up near the water and the motor shots.

It would be nice if next time someone with a really good camera, like GG or Dingo could be a passenger to take "ROLLING CRUISING" shots...Ex. like when were riding on the Gandy Bridge. Rolling shots are always sweet... Here they are...

Just arrived and "HARD PARKED"...lol




Brought along my side kick, Gabe from TCTOYZ rep'n in the BOOSTED GTI. ~ Such a clean SLEEPER!




I absolutely LOVED THIS CAR!







How does one make BASE MODEL look so sexy? This is how...



Looking good













Quick cruise across the water, minus a few who had to leave early









Good Times Good Times

Although phones today take very good pics...They still fall short of a good PnS Just as the very best PnS will fall short of even a beginer DSLR/SLR

Looks like it was a good time guys, sorry I missed it. I did get a chance to meet up with a friend of mine to get some photos of his M3, this was the outcome.

It doesn't have to be so immediate either... Lets really whore the idea and gather up the troops for a better turn out and event. Lets also individually schedule among ourselves and our personal lives to make time for this without PEOPLE leaving the first hr or 2... I won't say any names

Like dingo said ^ lets also have a more structured schedule or curricular. We spent dam near 15-20 after lining up on the back road of ALP just to come up with GANDY LOL!... Lets BRING IT!

Yea, I was the only one there on time and waited at least an hour for people to start showing. As far as suggestions on places to meet.... I am open to them! ANYPLACE would have been better to meet at than AL Lopez Zoo, I mean park Gandy was just a suggestion based on convenience. I'm down to actually drive somewhere nice where we can get some decent shots. Skyway, the Pier, Fort DeSoto... etc. Half the fun off the meet is the drive!
