it's sad when I have go the Mid-Atlantic thread to get my chat on. Common guys

Last night I met up with Happyman from this forum (he's from Florida on a business trip in Chicago, Drives a MB 09' sport touring with custom green calipers, tow hook, engine bits) He's a good guy. Was going to invite more of you to have a Z type meet, but this was last minute.

In other news, I shall be competing with Sean this year

, just ordered another lens for my DSLR. its a Canon 50mm F1.8 lens. Will be a nice walkaround lens for car pictures.

Ill get the photos posted up somewhere and give you the link to them

Very nice pictures! I would sure love to get some hi-res ones, I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

I did see your car there on the parking lot Sunday, but I didn't see you. You should have come over for a chat! On the questions, fire away, I'll try to answer them!

It was a fun course on Sunday. But 38 degrees was a bit cold for my slightly worn summer tires... It was like driving on ice, no grip. I guess the dust left by the flooding didn't help grip either. I think you left the event a bit too early, you missed my smoke screen... Got a bit too aggressive at my last run and did a nice 360 degree spin

But yeah, it is fun and you should most definitively try it! Just sign up for the next event and if you want I'd be more than willing to help you out, course walk, ride along whatever. I'm sure my friends in the Z4M and Mustang GT will take you for a ride as well. (might be better to learn from them then from me, I'm not that good of a driver

)

I wouldn't mind a ride along. I need to visit some shops to try on helmets so I can order one for myself.

No problem. You do have to sign up for the event, we're not allowed to take random visitors for rides. Not sure why, probably club liability related. But just sign up, use a loaner helmet if you don't have one yourself yet. Do a couple ride alongs and then take your own car for a spin!

What other tinters have people used here? Umbra and my schedule just arent aligning and I would prefer to get tinted before summer starts.

The Dimer · 04-26-2013, 02:27 PM

I'll be at Supercar Saturday.

As for tinting, I'm not sure where you're at, but I went to Sunset Glass in Woodridge. I got my car done and my buddy got his Mustang and later his F150 done too. No complaints from either of us.
