How do we want to do this? A photo collage with music? I think it would be cool to have actual video scenes of all the cars cruising by, possibly have someone stand near the road and film everyone driving by. There's one spot on one of the curves on 71 that I'm specifically thinking of where the videographer could stand on a hill above the road, film the cars come up the road, go around a curve, and keep filming as they drive away. I don't mind filming since Brigette will be driving the BEAMS. I trust her to come back and pick me up.. maybe. It would be cool to have a mix of video and pictures of the meet and cruise. Then again, like I said earlier and I stress now, I have absolutely 0 skills with this kind of thing.

The spot I'm thinking of- notice the meeting spot in the top right corner of the map. The spot I'm thinking of is the first curve, where you can somewhat see the straight road before the curve and film the cars going into the next curve.

a photo thing? pfft. everyone does that i have a contour HD, a drift stealth, and a pocket video cam. all of which shoots in HD, along with my awesome digital camera (for pics) the first two i mentioned are helmet cam types, which i can strap to what ever car im driving by then. and use the pocket video camera for the rest. (its also water proof ) i figure i can fit the drives, story time (atleast the audio), and a few others, im working on planning it out, so what ever input such as your suggestion about the drive bys would help

Fixed.

Noberto, hopefully you can make it! You're welcome to meet up with me and Brigette and caravan up there. If nothing else, as of this weekend, I'll be living an hour and a half closer to you so I'd love to get down there and check your car out one day.

[navseal345]

Someone needs to bring foil and maybe some "Pam"/ cooking spray?

[Bitter]

I have camera tripod thread on the lower lip of the Celica, if any of those little camera's have threads.

Put me down for maybe. I think I'm buying myself coilovers for my birthday, but I don't know that they'd be on the Celica by meet time. I have other things to go on with them and would still be on those crappy all seasons.

[richee3]

Devin- we'll definitely bring aluminum foil. Who knows what has been cooked on that grill...

Jordan- Crappy tires and stock suspension, you're still going! My point and shoot has threads and is a decently cheap camera, so no big loss should anything happen.

Oh no doubt about planning on going, just don't know 100% yet and don't know if I'd take the Celica. It may not have any suspension arms installed or be in some state of assemble/disassemble. I know that just changing the suspension up will make a big difference even with the crap tires. If its done and I'm OK with it, I'll take it. If it's not done then I'll take the Mazda. It's a good car too...Bi-Xenon headlights and LED's brighter than some car's headlights.

i have a gopro hero 2 with a suction cup car mount we could all share it. i mean who doesnt want 170 deg. view, 1080p hd, and lets not forget 30fps slow motion lol

[Azncelica]

Well, If everything plan out right, Should be able to make the long road tirp from MN, and plan on getting a Gopro to record the trip there and back.

Oh yeah? Well my Nikon point and shoot has 4x optical zoom, a wrist strap, and it's red. It'll do videos too

I feel like I'm the only person without a GoPro. Our Celica isn't the greatest for pictures anyway. I'm already pretty excited for this meet.
