I drove 1006km this weekend for cruises.
I'm tired.
Thirsty.
And still want to drive lol

Thanks for planning this Paul and thanks to everybody who came out. I have a bout 2 hours worth of video to sift through, so don't expect anything too quickly from me

I wish i had someone to take pics from the mirror, of all the cars fallowing, it looked so awesome, to see a trail of twins rolling down.. if only i could of seen reactions of passer bys.. especially when things got heated

Was my first cruise and I had a blast. Definitely not what what came to mind when I thought "cruise", but turned out to be way more fun than I'd imagined. Thank you Paul for organizing and everyone else for making it an awesome event. I'll post up some of my pics once I get through sorting them all. I'm very interested in seeing some of that GoPro footage as well.

In summary, burnt through almost an entire tank of gas, had a blast, 10 out of 10 will attend again!

Looks like it was a great cruise - would have loved to come, but I needed one more track fix. At least I got to see you at Calabogie. Will definitely make it to the FT86 Top Karting event!

To those unable to attend, it was perfect weather, no traffic and most importantly and thankfully no police. Thanks to Chris and Evan for taking turns leading the charge and taking it to a whole new level. Funniest moment of the day for me was everyone turning left onto 41 to follow Chris. Priceless.

Yes Paul, interesting bunch. Enjoyed seeing everyone. My FRS spends a lot of time in the garage so she was very happy to let loose today! BEST ONE YET! GoPro died at 2:49, sorry @HeadBanger, did not capture your drifting. Thanks again Kev, that was fun!!

Forgot to ask for a ride

FRS_Ken · 10-19-2014, 10:41 PM

That was great today!
Thanks Paul for heading this up.
Great routes

I'll have to upload videos later and more pics from my real Olympus as well.

Here’s a link to 11 photos from today off my iphone in my Dropbox:

Yes, it worked really well - just like you told me the rear end no longer gets loose in Temptation. With that and the cool air temp, I lowered my best to 1:31.33 (not during this session).

A few of us decided to grab a bite to eat in Arnprior. Then I got to look at Ken's and Kevin's beautiful fourth brake lights all the way home. @#% more money being spent.

Kind of ironic that we went mach 1 all over the country side and ended up parking at the racetrack. Things that make you go hmmm.

HeadBanger · 10-20-2014, 08:14 AM

@Mike86CelicaGTS that's alright. I'm pretty sure mine was still rolling :p
