    First off, we are all amateurs. We all took turns with the camera.

    Camera: Canon Rebel XTI/18-55mm Lens

    Chase car(Me): slooooow Lexus ES300. (Mods: Whistle tips, you know it :D)
    Nissan 350Z/Manual (Mods: Headunit with navigation screen, and NISMO Exhaust which sounds intoxicating :cool:)
    BMW 335i/Steptronic (Mods: Stock with Sport Package and basically fully loaded, but he is planning on it/around 50 miles now, he is still breaking it in so we couldn't hear all of it.)

    We drove around for a while, trying to find a spot in Austin(Read:Cedar Park/Round Rock) I started with the camera, and did a worthless job taking pictures while driving, but you can see some. I think we all had some ideas, but no idea what we were doing.
    Location: Anywhere and Everywhere. Driving (Pcarfan928, you might know some of the area as it is around you) We went to a parking garage and the Z sounded so nice, I wish we had tunnels in Austin.

    Critic & Criticism Recommend, Please no flaming we are noobs. :)

    My friend took that testing the camera last night. Inside their garage, It's actually the 135 vert. But he said eh, no one will know the difference, but it was a quick shot he took.
    Other cars (all BMWs) they have light blue M6 'vert, X5, X3, 745i, 135 'vert and the 335i. The 350z driver pulled in and was like you got the dealership out here.

    He has some more pictures that we took, but his Dad and him are going to the BMW school tomorrow, so it will be uploaded whenever he wants.

    Cool pics! There's some good scenery around Avery Ranch, behind the golf-course area; not all that far from where you guys presumably were.

    Great shots! Great cars. Sort of makes me wish I would have choose black instead of AW.

    I like the shots...but IMO you shouldn´t take pics in Tungsten sometimes they look good, sometimes don´t...

    I'm in Oak Brook, too... (I think? lolz...) I've been away so often since I moved to Austin in '99/'00 that I can barely give the pizza-delivery guy directions to my place. I just mastered Mopac & 360 in the past year!

    Not many enthusiast/high-performance sports-cars in the general area (620/Parmer). Damn family-oriented neighborhoods! :D

    As I recall reading elsewhere your fam' is originally from Southasia, as is mine. And you goto school in Phx'; there is an Ind/Pk guy I know who lives in Plantation now (used to live off Great Oaks area), he's also going to school in Phx'.

    Yeah, my parents are from India. Where is Plantation? I might know him if hes around my age, If his name starts with N and last name is Khan, I know him. I might actually know you. Oak Brook is right between Avery Ranch and Brushy Creek, you might've seen my friend with the BMWs, his dad drives a M6 'vert, and 745i. Yeah, not many sports cars in the area, but I have been told there is a Ford GT in Avery Ranch, somewhere I do not know. If your NSX is black I have see you on Monona, if you drive on Monona. :D

    That's the kid. His older bro' is in grad-school in the Phx' area, I know the family quite well. Plantation is a rather nice residential-area past the intersection of Sam Bass & Brushy Creek (near Old Settlers Blvd, I think?).

    My best-friend & roomie from grad-school also lives in the Phx' area, as well as a few other friends.

    I may have seen them around, BMW's & Austin are like babies & pacifiers... ;) Ha! But, an M6 conv' is like a $100k+ car, right? Wow. . .

    Ja, that be me. Monona, hmmm... no idea (need to check MapQuest.com after this post! :D ).

    Small world. I went to high school with him, and we graduated in the same grade. :D I forgot you were bad with streets. No joke, BMWs are common.

    Okay, we played around with the cameras before, but weren't really sure how some shots ended up blue.

    I'm gone in 7 days, and the 1 series vert is his moms, so you'll probably see it around. 335i isn't going to be in Austin either. Maybe next summer or PM me, btw How old are you? Doubt you'd want to hang out with 19-20 year olds. :D

    Who said hang-out, I just wanna see the 1-series! ;)

    It's all good... I'm 30'ish, going on 60 (living in RR makes you AARP-ready).

    I'm sure we'll cross paths before your gone. I was contemplating organizing a NSX Lime Creek drive this weekend and a BBQ at my residence. Usually get a dozen or more NSX'es from around the general area. But, I'm feeling really lazy as of late.

    Have a good one! If we don't get to chill sometime, bests' of luck @ school... :cool:
