Nov 7th 2009 Austin, TX Meet: *UPDATED* W/Pics & Vidz

[Gibson99]

Lee - mark me as a "probably".

as for the roads out there... even 2222 going out towards rudy's is a neat road simply because of the big hills and sweepers. suggested speed 35? pfft... last actual speed limit sign i saw said 55 or 60 so i'm doing at least that.

then again, there are no hills in houston, so i think any hills are fun. one of these days i'll be able to bring the miata out to the appalachian foothills and maybe even the tail of the dragon.

i can definitely see a caravan leaving from houston. I know a guy with a bone stock 96 le i4 camry that would probably love to tag along and he can put his photography skills to work for us all: http://roadstersquirrel.deviantart.com/

i just need to text him and see what he says.

btw - here's one of the first ever camry meets, from back in the early days of camryman. way back in december 1999, at the Hong Kong Mall.



wow. 10 years. didn't realize it'd been that long!

[LEE337]

Thats a big 10-4... Ill also put you down as +1
Your friend can take some good pics. We need to get some Solaras in that gallery of his.

Jake or Craig: one or both of yall wana plan out our cruise through the hills?

[TxBmbleBee]

id prefer not to, that way if its a disappointment i wont have to take the blame haha

6. Gibson99 (plus photographer )

chances are if he comes, he'll drive his own pimpmobile, so maybe list ScrappBT as a hopeful - as in, we're hopeful he'll come with his camera.

if he doesn't wanna pay for gas, then i'll give him a ride if it means we have a badass photographer for the event.

I dunno if he'd do it, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind people tossing him some cash for dedicated photoshoots of their cars. I am not making any promises yet tho... i haven't even talked to him yet about this - only texted him this morning and no reply yet.

last time i talked to him, i think it was when i did a timing belt job on his car this past spring.

[Gibson99]

if anyone from houston wants to cruise up together. let me know and we will pick a meet spot on 290!

just realized that firstsolara is in tomball, so maybe you me and him can meet up somewhere on 249 and just take 1488 out to 290.

looks like Sir Scrapp may be joining us afterall. his text: "I've been thinking of the meet, i might go, most likely"

dunno if he's driving his pimp gen3 or not, but i don't care as long as he brings his camera!

btw lee - do you want to post about this over on TN so we might get more people, or are you trying to keep it just a SG thing?

link to TN's regional meets forum: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/f92

[LEE337]

^Ooo, thats a tough one.
I kinda want it to be an SG thing.

If we did end up posting on TN it would only be Camrys & Solaras.

What do the rest of you guys think???
Do we wana bring in the TN fellas???

[Chinky420]

keep it for SGers only...at least for this first one

if it turns out good, then we can get one going on again with the TN guys.
