glad you made it home - i didn't get a chance to say goodbye - you just took off - i was hoping to get a shot of all of us at the winery before you left

i look forward to seeing your pics

[ether_joe]

hey d00ds thanks for the great times. This is becoming a fun little annual pilgrimage.


I took some shots and I'll post em once I have computer and camera in the same place.


Good to meet the folks I haven't before. . . Rustech and Aahz. . . and thanks Flash for the organizational effort. 'I'm not in charge!'


oh and I had the opportunity to drive the Flashmobile while I was down there. I gotta say - the suspension is sooo very nice. Very confidence inspiring. Super-sharp turn in with no roll. . . and the ride still very comfortable through the twisties around the winery. woohoo! I want one!

So where are all these pictures / videos / audio recordings? The suspense is killing me

[ds968]

audio recordings ?!

were one of you guys wearing a wire and caught what I whispered to our waitress at the Crooked Kilt ?!


btw,the radar detectors in Sean's and in my car did their jobs very well , both on the run over ( mostly 85-90mph, with a very brief push to about 145 or 150 ) as well as on the return where we caravaned at a very civilized 80 mph. The signal picked up every CHP from at least about half mile ahead .

Uh... for the record: we did not do this on the highway - on the way to and from Paso we stopped at Laguna Seca raceway , which was where we exceeded the otherwise posted 65mph lmit. That's my story and I'm sure Sean can attest to this truth.

[ether_joe]

yeah, I was doing 140 through the corkscrew.

[FRporscheman]

I only managed about 110 on my way back, but then again my car was loaded up pretty good. On my way down from SF to LA before the run, I tried to stay calm and civil, to stretch out my fuel usage. I managed 445 miles on 16.0 gallons!

Got lazy again. I will scan tomorrow, I swear.

Bob, sorry I didn't get to say goodbye - I realized I was planning to go home before the winery trip, just as people were leaving for the winery! I got to say bye to the stragglers like Jared, Sean, Bill B and Tom. Hey, I usually suck with names but I guess if they own 968s their names stick.

Anyway, hopefully next time I won't have to bug out early. I was meaning to ask you about your car more... I heard you say you've got about 280hp; when you have time can you send me a list of your mods? I want to start finally modding my own machine and I'd like some ideas on where to start.

[ds968]

any recent developments on the photos ?

[Renalicious]

lol

Yeah no kidding! I was away for the weekend hoping to come back and look at some nice shots of various 968s in action. Then again, durring the weekend I took like 500 pictures of the wine tasting trip in Oregon, so the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was sit at the computer and go through the photos

Oregon rocks btw! What are the chances of making it a half way point for a rendezvous between us here in the great white north, and you guys down in Cali?

[Aahz]

Mine are at the scanner's. I'll have images tomorrow.

[flash]

arash - the list is long, but i think i have it in a file i can send - last time i checked it was 2 pages long

[Aahz]

Here are some pics. I only took a handful.

Nice shots.

Eric's such a poser

Of course the shot I'm in it looks like I'm dealing crack behind the car

[flash]

that's ok - the shot that i'm looks like i'm on crack - but thanks for hooking me up

[rustech]

I'm actually the kind of person that prefers to stay out of the pictures (you know, my work and all )...He took about 50 pictures across me while driving, I was getting kind of use to it. Dan, have you seen your avatar recently...POSER

[sbdrivingdotcom]

And what, pray tell, would your work be?

Yes, here is one of you attempting to dodge the camera. Wide angle, for the win!

...or is this your gangsta lean?

[Aahz]

Crack?

More like, 'Get thee to a Winery!'

[ds968]

LOL, guilty of posing also in that photo ( avatar ) but the only reason is the sunglasses color almost match my car... had those Revos way before the 968 so , no I did not buy matching shades after getting the car

That's a cool close up photo of Bob and Ayn... racing a SUV of some kind ?
