Leavenworth Cruise Sept. 29th

[idanity]

there was more then 13 of us, and yeah, i had a great time..im glad it was a small group though.

and speaking of dix, did you guys see the "blow clown" making all those cock n balls balloons ?
i will post the pix, but i lmao at that... and a bunch of other stuff too.

perfect weather, and great driving.

i got over 700 shots...a bunch of the back seats, but at least a few good ones.
pix on the way...

btw, my lost cc was recovered, yay honest people !

Justin, i wanted to let you know that i knew youd be ok, i only was at 3/4 of a tank leaving leavenworth from our fillup at the rock, and didn't have your #...but knew youd make it.

a lot of pix to go through.
as usual, click on the image to open it in a new window or tab, and click on it again for full size..
here is one with a overly fast shutter speed

[SchnitzelWagon]

Awesome! I cant wait to see the pics that you got!

[idanity]

these are just some random ones...until i go through them all, im happy if theres 1-5 good shots, so please don't expect much, this camera is 45 days old, and only my second cruise with it (plus, steering, shifting, braking, avoiding potholes, fallowing + passing + keeping track of where you all are, while also messing with the radio is not an easy task...thankfully the cabrio tracks perfectly again.

none of these pix are touched up, resized, or altered, click on the one(s) you like to see larger sizes..and remember..its only about fun, im only in this for my own enthusiasm. (still hope you like them though) :)








one for the Australians






this was a complete accident shot, and i find it funny that i can be snappin pix while maintaining decent lines...i missed a few but it was all fun anyways...




(my window got in the way)



more later.

[Goodkat]

Was a fun drive. Good to meet everyone+some Canadians woot woot.

[LuckyHenriksen]

That touring is looking good

[Justin B]

Hey there I am! Nice. That's nuts how visible my suspension is lower on the right, it's leaning the wrong way still! I wish I had time to get under the car on a FLAT surface and measure a bunch of points..

[idanity]

dude, i has so many shots of your car its silly.
probably 40% is you, and 5% everyone else...

[Justin B]

That's actually pretty funny. I've rarely had any rolling shots of my cars. I know you got a ton of pics before the drive and while in Leavenworth, cant wait to see em! I hope some more shots turned out of the drive itself of everyone too.

I gotta ask, why did everyone pull off on the way back? Sorry I missed the turn-out after you flashed your high's at me Katie; I didn't know what was up, if I had seen you peel off earlier I would have tried to stop. But what was that about?

[idanity]

all i know about people stopping was just prior to the 'contruction cones" section, i was in 3rd or 4th and redlining to pass Katie and (i dont know whos ) black car, as i was taking pictures with one hand, i saw the cones coming up fast, and i just floored it,

by the next turn the car i passed pulled over, and i saw her wagon pull over too, then i flashed my lights, as i pulled over and the car in front of me...

i started heading back to them when they pulled out, and i flipped a u-turn and we continued.

thinking it might've been my fault, and all apologies if it was me, let me know.



ima review a few more pix and post them too.
btw, please download any pix i post, and make sure they're full size, as i may move or delete the folder eventually (or accidentally too).

[idanity]

i really like the refraction of color on the fenders in this shot.
.just wish your whole car had the holes :p



this looks like .45 ?


didn't know the ring was endangered ? (wtf ?)


sandwich shot.





stupid people in the way ;)




Davids car (he was quite difficult to pass, great lines, and driving... i think he won (errr, was 1st to leavenworth)





as you can tell, i didn't have any plans or think about layouts or shots, but next year, (or time) i would like to get all the cars in a circle or square, or maybe a big M in the lawn...

this is what i got from the roof
a bit disappointed but gotta try...right.

[idanity]

and
we're
off



one of the very few mirror shots that worked...(next year i need to be passenger).



:bow:
note : this is when i realised my cc was at a bar from the previous night, and o-shit im glad some friends were there to pay for everything..thank you for the :
food
gas
beer

someone please photoshop those people out and put in some rally fans




after gas, a video would've been better.




back on the road.


so glad we weren't around when this happened

this is when i found out a friend (who was at Katies house, and got lost enroute to the rock) lost a finger (as in chopped off that day)



Mrs Joel



i bent a law or two to get this shot, i thought it was gonna turn out better, with the color contrasts of the sky vs. blg. vs road and the cars..but i don't think i got the cars very well theres too many power lines anyways.
slow down yo :hitler:

(was later informed that the po po was at the gas station we just left, when we all peeled out to catch up...luckily, nobody got any tickets that day.



good color in this one.




the arrows really help this shot out





past 1am and ive been up since 8am yesterday.... im out for the night.
:zzz:

David is awesome. I have been to some ridiculous speeds in his M5, in town. His hair is the greatest.

Wish I could have made the drive.

[Justin B]

Heading back into the Rock after gas, that light took WAY too long to turn green for me...brap.

All of the holes in my fenders are from my .22. Some of them on the driver side are holes from buckshot, but mostly .22 still. Just different ammo and close/far range between the fenders the pass side one got larger holes. I think they were hollow points on the black fender.

[e34west]

I gotta ask, why did everyone pull off on the way back?

That was me. I had to pee. Sorry for the confusion... I thought I could just get away with a quick roadside stop and continue but everyone was on the ball and pulled over.

i started heading back to them when they pulled out, and i flipped a u-turn and we continued.

thinking it might've been my fault, and all apologies if it was me, let me know.

Nope, not your fault, but it was awesome to see that "u-turn" all over the highway.

i was in 3rd or 4th and redlining to pass Katie and (i dont know whos ) black car, as i was taking pictures with one hand, i saw the cones coming up fast, and i just floored it,

haha, that was me too... I could see you were coming and were running out of space quickly. No worries. It's clear that you know how to handle that big go-kart.
