Taking it easy with some friends of mine this afternoon after doing a cruise with some fellow car enthusiasts and stopping at Neptunes Net (of Fast & Furious fame) for some fish 'n chips...

PICS ARE NOT MINE

Oh, we saw Jay Leno too. Today he brought out an old Bugatti(?) race car. It had cable-operated brakes. Looked kinda unsafe. lol

Possibly moar pics/vids coming later.

post updated with some pics...

i'm pretty positive i've seen your car cruising up the 5 north near the 134.

wow, when is the next one?

nice! wish I still lived in SB

turns out, i'm pretty sure i saw the blue Z06 last night on the 134 west :jest:

First post updated with a few more pics...

wow, when is the next one?
Check http://www.motorgen.com/ for the next cruises. There may be another in early October, but not 100% sure on that.

nice! wish I still lived in SB
I wish you still lived in SB too. We'd have your car turbo'd by now. :P

i'm pretty positive i've seen your car cruising up the 5 north near the 134.
Could be. I drive on the 5N @ 134 M-F any time between 5:45PM-7PM.

Did it have a black roof? :secret2:

yeah it had to be you, i'm on it around the same time. As for the Z, i'm not sure it was dark out when i saw it, but I don't think i see too many EB Z's with black wheels around haha.

I drive a big blue/grayish TJ wrangler with black wheels and 33's, couldn't keep up :(

How the hell do you guys get by with modifications around here? like that black turbo camaro.

Very carefully... I try to keep my engine bay & exhaust looking stock, and the turbo Camaro guy doesn't drive it too often, and lives in BFE so not as much LAPD/CHP to deal with.

edit: and if you saw me zipping by at 70ish... that's because I can. My Jeep was way too slow to do that without getting 8MPG. lmao. Drove it for 6 months and every day of driving it on the freeway made me hate it more and more.

wasn't your car originally a v6? i just see that going horribly wrong at the emissions testing lol.

yeah the jeep sucks to drive around the highways, especially the shitty ones, it's just too rough. Luckily i have a work rig that i can cruise around in too, otherwise I'd be angry all the time lol.

It's not a problem with this:

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. lol.

Damn you California guys and your awesome roads.

Love that lotus.

Love that lotus.

I met the builder/owner a year or two ago. He drives it pretty much every weekend, if not during the weekdays. It's compound charged (supercharged+turbocharged) with a carbon fiber widebody. At the time, he said it held the track record for Little Willow for any Lotus that has run there. Here are some in-car vids:

Now you see just how easy I was taking those turns... LOL.

Pics aren't mine, just ones grabbed from a friend. Sorry for not mentioning that... Just the vid at the very top is mine. And yes, that Lotus is definitely "sick as fuck!" :)

Nice vid and pics. That lotus is nasty. How much power the turbo z make?

nice pics. btw what tire are on the maroon camaro SS on the fourth picture? they look nice..

The Exige is definitely a Canyon Carver, I like it. :nod:

some pictures of that lotus. Its twincharged.

That looks like rolling death trap in the wrong hands.

I can verify that was him leaving my friends house. We were all chillen.

Damn that was pretty sweet! Might try and join up next time! :)

top notch material i like this, the rubber art work on the road is so nice. The turbo black camaro is so unique with the exhaust coming out the front.
