Thanks. Yes, i have TONS of footage. I just sat down to look at it, and its a lot. It will take me some time to sort it out and edit it into an epic movie. Maybe i'll post some teasers though.

Matt, please PM me about emailing my those.

It was cool meetin all you guys hopefully next time we can do a two day meet so that we can all spend more time together.

Next time we're taking that other road. It will be the same but EVEN MORE fun...partly because its 1.5 hrs of CONSTANT curves.

Hope everyone got home safely.

minus the heat (started to get a headache), and the stalling of getting food after a vast majority of us said we were hungry (I get EXTREMELY disgruntled and aggravated when I don't eat), and the assnozzle in the Lexus SC400 (looked like a tool. I swear he did) that cut me off and I nearly rear-ended him, I had an absolute BLAST! Makes me curious to know what that other street you were talking about had in store.

Hopefully I'll have the Supra ready to give it a shot next time this rolls around. wrd Speakin' o' Supras. I think a few of the MK3 guys are doing the same thing come November if a few of you wanna do this again.

Actually, it was right in west Austin (meet was 20mins from downtown). Round Rock is 30min north of where we were on I-35.

btw, who were those two dudes that showed up UBER last minute in that green(?) ST?

I was wondering the same thing...
They had the same color car as me ("baltic blue").
I figured they were more Houston guys? Or was Panda and Havok the only two Houston guys to show up late? Maybe member "kylekonvicka" who said they'd roll w/the other two?

[darthripley]

love the pics snapshot

we had a great time meeting up with everyone & enjoyed the drive minus our cooler taking a nose dive in the backseat ... i'm gonna bungee that sucker down next time

thanks for welcoming us - there just aren't enough all-tracs around here to meet with, let alone ones that are running.

we didn't push the car as hard we could with the heat being so bad ... and i'm glad we didn't b/c on the way home the temp gauge was all the way to HOT so we had to stop in Waco & let the car cool down for 30-45 minutes before we could get going again.
the coolant was boiling out of the overflow tank & there was quite a bit of steam coming out of the radiator itself under the cap.
good thing we brought a jug of premixed toyota coolant along b/c it took the entire jug & the gauge stayed at only halfway the rest of the way home.
i'm not totally sure if the thermostat is taking a dive or if the radiator is just that inefficient when the temps under the hood & outside are that high...i've got some searching/investigating to do.

Matt - i'll look tommorrow on the hot start issue & shoot ya a PM on what i can find.

Mario & zero07 - no problem at all, Joe's glad ya'll enjoyed the ride

Bahaha tis why you are a mod sir! I LOVE IT!!!

This meet was awesome, its been a long time since i have driven my car that "spirited" (the last time was probably the day i got her and got a ticket ). But i loved every second of the wide eyed, heart pumpin, hand shakin, prairie dogg havin turns that i would do it all over again!

TEXAS MEET FTMFW!!!

[kylekonvicka]

yeah it was me and a friend that rode with i road with panda/havok i wasn't to talkative as i was fckin exhausted next meet should be more fun + i'll have more than $57 dollars which is what i spent on gas made it home with 3/4 tank left!

[808celica]

that's along cruise...it's like going around the island 5 times and then some

nice pics colin

[Toyota_Todd]

Really good turn out and great pics guys and gals!!! Collin sent me the link of the meet and I was suprised to see an all-trac (Vadar) that I recognized. Its always nice to see a bunch of clean Celicas together at one time. We have a meet in my area on July 19th in Champaign, IL. It is not just a Celica meet, but there are always a bunch that show up at the Speed-Source meet. The v6 swap looks great Collin, how does it perform in what was called spirited driving that was mentioned above?
