- - Epic drive though western MA & southern VT - 7/8 Sunday (https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10088)

The drive looks like it lived up to its name! Can't help but notice no FR-S were represented and WRB is very popular around here. I'll try to make one of these to break up the trend with my DGM :thumbup:

Wow the pictures look great! I got some interesting video that I'll have to make a highlights reel of. I bet @speedracer38 got some good video too.

It was nice to see @WRXGuy1, @Deslock, and @MannyO again, and nice to meet @speedracer38 and @M-17.

Big thanks to @Deslock for organizing and leading the drive; it went very smoothly. It looked like everyone had some exciting parts on the drive and no one appeared uncomfortable with their cars on the road.

No need to edit out license plates for any of my photos.

Yeah, it was the same with the WRXes back in 2002: lots of WRB.

It also came up at dinner that no FR-Ses joined us (Raphael would've had he not been working). Though the BRZ:FR-S ratio is 2:5 nation-wide, I expect that in our area it's between that and the much different 5:2 ratio in the New England owners thread (note that's almost meaningless since it's such a small sample).

Speaking of New England... I hadn't noticed that CT was excluded from the New England regional subforum (this also came up yesterday). The "Tri-State" owners thread favors BRZs even more with a 7:2 ratio (but that's also a tiny sample).

Great pictures Adam, I love the one of us all following you, wish I tried taking some of those.

Thanks, yours look excellent too (I especially like what you did to the sky in that last photo).

The one of everyone following was when we were behind slow traffic. I had a feeling it was going to focus on my car, but I couldn't do anything about it (since I just quickly stuck the camera out backwards and held the shutter down, hoping one of the 4 or 5 burst shots came out).

Wow. Can't wait till I can be a part of something like this. =)

Do you have a higher res version that you could upload or e-mail me? I would love to use this as my facebook cover photo if you don't mind!

Sure thing, enjoy!

I wish I knew about this; I was at autocross with SCCNH at NHMS in Loudon on the 8th. I really can't pass up autocross, though, because I'm learning so much about handling oversteer. I'll try to make the next one.

ahhhhhh....... I can't believe i couldn't go this time. Looks awesome

Loving all these photos!

Awesome photo's guys, wish I could have been there!

There should have been a Firestorm FR-S there as well:cry:

Wow @M-17, those photos are fantastic! Thanks again for going up to the Sugarloaf tower ahead of time to grab that shot of us with the valley in the background... it came out even better than I'd hoped!
