there were probably a good 20-25 cars there

there were 15 cars that went around that corner in the video on the first page and i think there were a few that went on the cruise that did not appear in that video.

*edit*

looks like 16 cars were in the other video counting the blue WS6 parked on the side of the road (the pasenger of that car was the one taking the vid)

Jared,

Very nice photo's!!! I was at the 500 track today showing a family member the museum and saw a 1/24th scale model of your car and thought of you. The pictures really look amazing. They sure make my car look a lot nicer than it really is.....

Intimidator: If you hadn't put so many hours in on my car you know I'd take it to you.....

hey nate, speaking of the 25th anniv TTA, they also make a 1:18th scale. i'd get one but $50 is a bit steep



i picked up this gem a couple years ago, BEFORE i got my WS6 hood, lol. i did have the black wheels back then though. it's an ertl 1:18 and was one of 1250 and i got it on sale for $18 + $6 shipping

My car was actually used for the design of the diecast and I worked with Greenlight Toys in refining the model to try to get it as close as possible. I've got I think 3 of the white ones and one of these bad boys http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...k/IMG_1026.jpg there was only 66 of the gold ones made. They're going to be coming out with a 1/64 which will be in Target sometime soon, they already have an 87 GTA in 1/64 that came out last year.

Time for a new thread for this saturday. It may be tough for me to make it. I have a back yard that really needs some attention from putting the geo-thermal in last fall. Looks like it's going to dry out enough to level it off and clean it up a little bit. However, I'm going to try and be done by early afternoon to get the bird out a little. It's going to be great weather for sure.

I'll probably be there. Are you guys still going to be on Memorial Lawn on Friday? If so, what if someone in a Blue T/A just happens to park out there? Just out of curiosity...

PS. There are some racecars and a 2010 SS Camaro Pace Car circling the engineering fountain today if anyone wants a look. I have to say...in person....cosmetically...I'm not impressed. Don't ask the guys around it any questions though...they thought it had the 3.6 in it...

No, it definitely said "V8" on the engine cover, you are not mistaken...which makes it more funny that the fellas around it thought it had the 3.6L in it.
