View Full Version : OFFICIAL!! Time and place for Tortilla Flat run
hennessey833 11-03-2005, 07:29 PM 10:00 AM, SUNDAY THE 6TH, AT THE GAS STATION ON US 60 AND VAL VISTA
Okay, I think we can all agree that the gas station on Val Vista and the 60 is a a good central location. Here's BullDog's directions
"There's a gas station on Southern/Val Vista that would be good to meet up at. It's 1/2 a mile North of the US 60 On Southern road."
I think I will have to sacrifice the drinking a little, I like 10:00, gives us enough time to get up there for lunch, plus a little sleep in time.
Don't mean to "take over" or anything, but it's already thursday. Please feel free to hate on me if you don't like it :)
THE LIST:

OniMirage 11-03-2005, 07:31 PM lol you should probably post a link to this thread on the original one so that people looking at the other one notice that you posted this one

Dude, just have her go along with you!
You can also take care of the church business while you're at it. Check it...Watch a little of that televangalist stuff Sunday morning like my grandparents used to do, say a little prayer asking God to keep your Chevy in one peice and you're good to go! I'm a friggin genius.
Anyone else got a problem they need me to solve for them? :cssNET:

I could so imagine pushing your ass down a nasty slope, while you're chillin on a trashcan lid, wearing one of those goofy egg helmets while drinking a beer.

I have at least 2 radios somewhere and I think bull dog had some too ... I have my Olypmus 595ZOOM 5.0mp cam ready at all times and will clear the memory to take pics and my gf is coming too and she will man the jvc minidv camcorder.
Tip for good driving vids: pass on the right side (if its a dual lane road) when doing a drive by since the cam is on the passenger side in most cases. Turn off your digital zoom and use an auto stabilizer if available ... also use the sports mode
Tip for good driving pics: no flash at all and use a sports mode
OniMirage 11-04-2005, 01:16 PM check out my drive put this address in on this page

hennessey833 11-04-2005, 08:48 PM I don't even need to mapquest it, that's damn far. But like I said before, it's well worth it.
hennessey833 11-04-2005, 08:49 PM yea, for our first meet
OniMirage 11-04-2005, 08:50 PM im sure it will be but distance doesn't phase me in the least with an average of 26mpg

Cobalt_Supercharged 11-05-2005, 02:55 PM Meh, I think I'll just leave mine filthy. Cause after this runs it's gonna look like it did before a bath. :lol:
I might dust mine and wash the windows. I'll leave the actual bath for after the trip.

Cobalt_Supercharged 11-05-2005, 03:03 PM is it really that bad out there? I was thinking of taking it to the shammy man to get it detailed now i dont know
Think about bugs as you drive at 80.
OniMirage 11-05-2005, 03:07 PM hmm then i will hand wash mine today then get it detailed after the run
d_backer1 11-05-2005, 04:13 PM Mines all washed and puurttied up :cool: I have access to DeIonized water at work so she gets cleaned @ least 2 times a week ;) And the gas station @ Idaho & 60 is a Cheveron :D Don't forget me :cry: PLEEEASE :cssNET:

The pics are being uploaded via online storage as I write this and will be completed soon ... those on the run please send me a pm with your personal email and be ready to allow some time to download the file if your on a slow connection ... total on disk is about 100mb ... again only those that were on the run will be able to receive the file after confirmation
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 08:37 PM Sick pics dude, you got some skills. WHERE'S THE VIDEO..........HURRY UP DAMMIT!!
Cobalt_Supercharged 11-06-2005, 08:41 PM That trip was a blast! Thank you everyone that showed up and for being cool. Especially those on the westside of town. I've witnessed horror stories when meeting people from the internet. Thanks for not making it another.
We definatly have to do another trip sometime. Cyclerides.com has some good scenic travels. Just a thought.
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 08:45 PM I had fun too everybody, I absolutely love that drive. Maybe we can do it during the week sometime, so we don't have all that traffic......and cops.
d_backer1 11-06-2005, 08:51 PM Cops are actually worse on week days due to less traffic so they don't have to figure who they're gonna F-with :lol: It was cool meeting everyone and putting faces w/screen names :cssNET: Thanks for the day away from the GF :lol:
Cobalt_Supercharged 11-06-2005, 08:55 PM Thanks for the day away from the GF :lol:
How come everyone talks about getting away from the GF? I'm trying to find one. :rolleyes:
ExHondaMan 11-06-2005, 08:57 PM Posted some of the Pics in the Pics/Vids section... I had to do links though... imageshack is weird. If you view the image via the link it sizes itself to the browser... If you put it straight in the post the things are freakin huge and im too lazy to shrink um. :cssNET:
Sweet pics Oni... Cant wait for Vendian's Vid...
*EDIT* Thanks to everyone for coming out. I think everyone was pretty cool... (except BullDog71ss... hes a cock). We should try to get together again sometime and do another roadie....
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 09:02 PM Thanks for the day away from the GF :lol:
You better hope she doesn't surf these forums :-D
d_backer1 11-06-2005, 09:16 PM How come everyone talks about getting away from the GF? I'm trying to find one. :rolleyes:
Been 4 years with out a day away no offence meant, ;) and she had fun shopping w/out me :lol: every once in awhile you just need to BREATH :-D
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 09:20 PM I hear ya there, I get the same way.
OniMirage 11-06-2005, 09:30 PM did you guys see that pic my gf got with the cop behind us :lol:
ExHondaMan 11-06-2005, 09:33 PM did you guys see that pic my gf got with the cop behind us :lol:
Damn I didn't see that one. Ill have to look back through them. :lol:
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 09:35 PM just went back and looked. Can't really tell it's a cop in that view, but it's still funny for all of us that were there.

Just the Saturn Motorsports Big Bore one..... I dont think it adds any HP.. but it was only liek $150.. what the hell... couldnt hurt anything
Cobalt_Supercharged 11-06-2005, 10:00 PM Those pics are awesome!
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 10:02 PM Just wait for the vid. *hint**hint*
ExHondaMan 11-06-2005, 10:15 PM VENDIAN !!!!! IS THAT VID DONE YET ?!?!?! :poke:
hennessey833 11-06-2005, 10:15 PM somebody call him
Cobalt_Supercharged 11-06-2005, 10:21 PM He had to take his buddy home after I gave him that video. Hopefully he can have all the videos done sometime this week.
OniMirage 11-06-2005, 11:27 PM holy hell LOL thats alot of the same image HAHAHA
OniMirage 11-06-2005, 11:28 PM im glad to see that you guys were able to download the images ... I am gonna start some photoshoppin too using either the same or a similar image with a twist to seperate each persons sig
Cobalt_Supercharged 11-06-2005, 11:30 PM holy hell LOL thats alot of the same image HAHAHA
Yeah that is really confusing.
Vendian 11-06-2005, 11:46 PM I wanted to go with a uniform look, but we could totally add a twist for each sig. Then again, I don't expect us to be posting right after oneanother in every single thread. It just looks like it's a lot here because it's our meet thread.

Cobalt_Supercharged 11-07-2005, 12:07 AM Someone here was asking us to meet him around Wickenburg where he lived. Maybe we can get a big meet somewhere central to all.

There is another thread in the Pics/Video section with some of the pictures. The file we were given (People that attended) was a 100MB file hosted off of a work site. OniMirage didn't want to give out a link because he could have gotten in trouble with all the bandwidth that would have occured from people downloading that.
hennessey833 11-07-2005, 07:42 AM THANK YOU VENDIAN for the sigs, thats bomb. THANK YOU EVERYBODY for going with, being cool, and being safe. Oh yea, and THANK YOU VENDIAN for the video, in the future, sometime, hopefully, soon? now? please?
