First I'd like to thank everyone who showed up [and on a personal note I'd like to thank everyone who stayed the hour it took to source and replace a radiator in a strange town].
We had some excellent cars and once the group got to the twisties it turned really fun really quickly. This year, instead of taking my normal leadership roll, I thought I'd kick back and actually enjoy the run with my GF and let someone else do the work For that, I'd also like to thank Stephen Lee - for taking over the responsibilities. All that out of the way, let's post some pics and vids! I'll start by moving 2bCelica's raw vids over here and I'll follow up with my raw vids and pics befor eI leave work today: This post has been edited by DEATH: Oct 18, 2010 - 9:32 AM -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Bringing discussion here:
It was nice to meet everyone and a great cruise. This was my first meet I had any leadership roll in and had a couple mishaps lol (missed turn, cop...?) anyway, I think for next year I'm going to go up to Austin and find a longer, better route and actually drive it on my own before taking the group there. and NP DEATH, leading a bunch of Celicas was actually somewhat cool When I get some free time during work (rare now) or after work ill post up my vids/pics. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

I loved the Lime Creek run, it was great. I really want to attend another one before I leave, maybe in the spring? Despite the....unfortunate events, it was a good time. I think that the next time the meet up point should be closer to the actual run. I hear that Marble Falls is nice, and looking at maps, it hooks up with Lime Creek. And if I recall correctly, at the top ("The Oasis") there was a parking garage, I think a photoshoot on the top would be a good spot to end it. But Im not all to familiar with the area, so I really don't know, just suggesting. Now with the pics.....
The last one is my favorite! BTW, I hope that new radiator is holding up, the old one had it coming IMO! This post has been edited by Spider77: Oct 18, 2010 - 5:23 PM |

Lime Creek was the place where my Bernadine (Trans Am) got her cherry popped most hard turns in her life and mine as well. It was a great time, it was cool meeting new people and seeing my bud again. Hopefully, if there is a next time I will bring Eugene(my 240sx) to see how it handles. Overall great time and I'm glad I was the only one repping the muscle cars woop! woop! or trying too at least...too much body roll ...

man, it looks like you guys had a great turn out! Still sad and upset that I had to miss this one. If money wasn't such a big issue, I so would've been there. Hopefully you guys plan one for the Spring!

Texas 6GC Meet, 2010 (Spider77's Vid)
So above is the video link. I really wish that Photobucket worked for me, but its being a bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So I have now switched over to ImageShack (so lets see how that works). Please keep in mind that Im not a professional video editor, but I do try.....But really, everyone should be treated soon as there should be a nice one up with lots of film on the floor, saving the best to view. First of all I would like to thanks some people. Primary is Death, who put this whole thing together, even though his radiator exploded, and his backup died, it was still nice to see the Celica and meet the man who put it together. Secondly, want to thank AkiraD1, my co-pilot and camera man. It was a long drive, and an interesting run (with all the "missed" turns), but you made the trip great, thanks. To Hazmat, thanks for cruising with us, and you better lower soon! Stephen_lee, thanks for taking the lead, I had no idea where I was half the time, but you took most the stress out of the run, thanks! And Flo, your a bastard, and I cant wait to chill again, it was good to see ya man! To the rest of the 6GC members, thanks for coming out and making a lasting impression, I had a great time and hope that we can do this again before Im gone from Texas! |
