Great Day!, **2nd UPDATE! ALL PICS UPLOADED** Options

[m0dd3d1]

So I had an awesome day to say the least. Besides feeling horrible about not making it out to a meet a week or two ago (that I really really wanted to get to) I decided to tag along with Insanity-74 to Croft Racetrack to watch some races. Driveby and few others showed up, so jealous. You've never seen a car as clean as Driveby's white Celica! Amazing. Really good bunch of guys. I had an awesome time, it was really the first time I've gone to something like that (besides a dragstrip in MD but that's it). Oh yeah, did I mention that we drove in his GT-4? Sorry, had to brag! Pictures to come as now I'm at work for 12 hours and then to another for 5, so I'll get to it soon. Got some really good race pics, and vids for that matter, how does everyone put videos online? YouTube? And of course some nice pics of the cars in the parking lot.


**ps - this does have Celica content I swear, I'm just getting to it! Lol.**

Was nice to meet you mate, it was a good day with some good rallycross action to see.
Your welcome along any time!

Wow, you're soo lucky. I'm sure anyone of us here in the US would have loved to do the things you did. Well, we can only dream of being in a real gt four.

Glad you enjoyed it bud, glad you enjoyed the ride, its just a shame we got stuck behind that slow assed Impreza sti on the way back . Your more than welcome anytime to tag along for a blast in the GT4. I`ll be i touch for the next event.

Driveby - we have a photo of your car covered in about 500 of them tiny little spiders all over the roof...imagine all the tiny little footprints they left behind...better get polishing bud

Yeah Driveby, it was horrible, OH THE HUMANITY! They were everywhere! Of course, I had their webs in my mouth so where else were they to go?

Thanks Insanity, it truely was a good time. And yeah, silly STi.

Ok, so I'll probably get the pics on here soon, if not by Thursday. I've started shift, and since I'm on 2 jobs that's now 18+ hour days for 3 days in a row, Thurdsday is my first day off and I've got to be up early for the damn locksmith or joiner anyways. Most likely it will happen then.

Does anyone know how to post vids? I've got a couple good ones of the rally.

[xs94st]

you should just go to youtube n try to upload em!

it takes time for larger ones, but its worth it cuz they come out pretty well

you could also upload to photobucket!

ewwww..spiders i hate em!

[Driveby]

We demand pics!!

[m0dd3d1]

Alright! Finally, apparently with me working 2 jobs I didn't notice my internets (haha, thanks Bush) was out. So after a 2 day wait for the tech everything's kosher. I've got 20 pics, so I'll upload them in spurts. Here's a few to get started. BTW, sorry for the partially grainy quality, my camera can zoom, but the quality suffers balls.

A few of the cars in their respective garages:













----------------------------

And of course, some race pics! These are the pics with the grainy quality.



























I've got more that I'm uploading to Photobucket now, will get back to ya.

NICE peugeot FTW

Ok and here are the pics from walking around the grounds:

Insanity said this was rare, so I snapped a couple pics; although I did see another one today...but not as clean!



This was hilarious, so much roll cage, so little car! Go Corsa!


Randoms from the parking:
















The breaks are so huge on this thing...


And....the best for last!:








Driveby! Here's the damage:

...footprints everywhere!

My ride down (up) there:




The view:


Hope you all enjoyed my pics.

Yup that Alpina B10 3.2 Liter is rare. IIRC its a bored out 2.8 liter engine with 250-260 bhp.

I don't know, but it had "Alpina" everywhere and was cleaner than the pictures can testify. But it was funny b/c yesterday I saw another one, but in crappy condition, and was like "Oh wow, another rare Alpina!"

I've seen only 1 Alpina (also B10 but bigger engine) here in Holland in my life. Alpina is for BMW as Brabus is for Mercedes Benz. So they modify BMW with support from BMW but its not created "in house"

[m0dd3d1]

Yeah, I think Insanity explained it to me, but I didn't know who either was (Brasbus or Alpina) b/c I'm just a silly Yank!

[Driveby]

Nice car park pics mate (damn flys!!!) we didnt have any time to look round the CP as getting out of there can take hours so it was a mad dash for the cars !

[Insanity-74]

Yuck....horrible picture of me.....you could have given me a warning you were going to take that
