Thanks guys for setting up this meet. Gave me an excuse to put the car through some paces. I think I'll have to leave the boss at home next time. She had too much of the twisties.

Hey,
What did you tell the guy in the M3? I thought for a moment he was going to join us?

Awsome meet today. Thanks for the drive everybody.
Steve, sorry we lost you on the way. I don't know what happened. We waited for a while, but you didn't show up.
I loved those twisties. It was awsome. Next time I could do an even longer run.
Sorry for the guys that got sick. Hope you're feeling better!

I loved the twisties too! I trailed my530, uwsc11, jiio and it got interesting after about 10 miles into the run (after millhouse24 pulled aside). You three got pretty aggressive and I noticed quickly between my i6 and your v8s but still kept up for the most part
. I guess I know now why millhouse24 and jiio pulled aside. Sorry about that. Another cool thing on the drive was seeing the Lambos (and I thought I saw a trailing Ferrari) going in the opposite direction.
Another thought about the meet was how no matter how many pictures are posted of your rides it just doesn't do justice in seeing the real thing - especially the evil twins ECF and Freed0m. Same thing goes with the sounds of the V8s and ahem, those with dinan exhausts (ECF

I looked in my rearview and you weren't there, and then 2 - 5 minutes later you were right there! That's some impressive driving! Not always about the car, in this case it your excellent driving skillz.

One thing to keep in mind on the next run for me is to remove my front splitters, there were some good size dips the whole way... Man those Lambos' were the shiet!!!
