I'm using a Canon 7D with a 24-70L series lens.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing trying to introduce myself. But yeah, next time! I was admiring your matte paint job at Sonic and again on Saturday. I thought it was a wrap until I looked closer. Very nice!

Sweet camera! I should probably upgrade but keep waiting for the next camera. First was waiting for the 50d, then 60d, now the 5d mark 3. Probably wait forever and stick with my 500d/t1i.

I apologize for not taking the time to introduce myself to everyone, but I'm still happy to have shared the day with you all. Thanks a million Tony for your efforts in putting this together. And if anyone hasn't put those who said they'd come and didn't on blast yet let me be the first to do it. From my understanding Tony fronted the money for the list WE put ourselves on. By not showing up or not following up with him he had to bite the bullet for roughly $600.00.

With that said. I hope all you SoCal folks made it back safely.

Thanks JR. A bunch of the folks that were there actually chipped in a lot extra to cover the difference so I owe a big thanks to all of them. I wanted to eat part of the delta cause I'm also to blame for the poor planning and judgement but people chipped in anyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THAT HELPED OUT. Lesson learned on my part and will do things different next time around.

And thanks for all the pics guys. Keep posting them!

Sorry had to hear that others had to pitch in for members that signed up and didn't show up Tony. It was a great turnout and it seems like everyone was very cool and laid back, I had a good time and it was great to finally meet you.

Too bad we didn't get around to code your car. The crew dispersed so quickly after dinner, hahaha.
