I actually tried to get Amar to bump me in the middle of a corner last year but he couldn'd do it. The shot would have been SICK though. Cam on my rear bumper...
Hell, this year I should have a multi camera setup (showing coming & going)....

OBTW, I'm gonna probably miss the next few meets -- that pesky old "business travel" thingee is screwing up my April (and my golf trip later in the month, and the Richmond NASCAR trip, ......) -- will be monitoring things on the new Justin "BEAVER" site...that was a really cool pink.......NOT!

Should be to at least a couple before the cruiZ down to ZdayZ. OBTW, got the long range motorola radios for the lead & tail end car picked out, just gotta get on Amazon and place the order will do that shortly.....

See ya'll.......

I think I'm in, but holding off on washing the car due to the impending rain.

I'm out today.

Last night, though, I took a run to Loch Raven Reservoir and Pretty Boy Reservoir. I think we need to cruise it. Here's a couple notes.
  • I want to cruise on a week day next time, so that we can experience the entire length of Loch Raven Drive. It's gorgeous, and sections are closed every weekend.
  • Driving Falls Road up to Pretty Boy from Shawan Rd is a long gorgeous drive in itself.
  • Pretty Boy is all twisty, windy roads in a rural area. It's all farmland out there.
  • The route I took was wonderful. I crossed a bridge on Beckleysville Rd, then turned right on Spook Hill Rd, which has awesome curves, then stayed right on Pretty Boy Dam Rd, which crossed back over the Reservoir via a cobblestone road on the dam itself.
  • The road conditions aren't great. I was flinging rocks, and I hit a pothole large enough to bounce me a good 2-3 feet off the ground.
  • I'm going to map a cruise that probably starts in Towson, jaunts us up Falls Rd, performs the complete loop around Pretty Boy, and then cuts over to Loch Raven, ending in Towson.

Sounds good. What day/time were you thinking for the weekday cruise?

Jon- I'll be there tomorrow for the NoVa Sports Car Meetup. Steve should be there as well. 60 degrees and sunny weather for tomorrow

Sorry I couldn't make it today. First round of golf for the year, which ended up being cut short thanks to some nice downpours out in Ashburn

Haha, yeah she's pretty cool. I think she's trying to steal my Z from me though, so I may have to be careful.

I thought I heard you mention needing to get camber arms with the Swifts, I was just wondering if you happened to know how far off your camber was with the install?

Didn't you say she claimed the Subie? Looks like you'll have to get a 5.0 now

Yeah, but I lent her the Z for the weekend and she wants to take it. Looks like I may be taking my Z mod fund to buy a bigger turbo for the Rex.

Just keep complaining about the road noise in the Z. Soon she'll become paranoid and hate it

No, I just remembered some thread somebody made about that. They said all the complaints about road noise on the forum made him paranoid and notice the road noise, which really bothered him.

Yeah, we were thinking you might be playing golf in the rain. Too bad but the weather has just been downright odd this year. Looking forward to some sun and warmth! See you tomorrow.

Yes, I have to wait till Tuesday to get the info hopefully as he was out of town. It can't be a whole lot though I would think.
