Motor4Toys Car Show - 12/4/2005

OMFG!!! I'm thinking somebody needs to buy these for FDC or F-chat or TfT or something. Those driving shots are pro material and would make great posters, covers, business cards, whatever. That's it. I'm waving the white flag right now. Jay, simply stunning work. We really need to be passengers next time instead of driving ourselves. I normally get 30 mpg highway but only saw 19 doing 100 to keep up with everybody. AND I DIDN'T GET ANY PICS! Arggggh. Seriously, Jay, wtg. I'll see if I can find a couple worthy of adding.

 

Great Pic's wish we were there.

 

WOW!!!!! These freeway action shots are AWESOME! Perfect lighting...
What time did FDC head out in the morning? Byron Time?

Thanks for sharing!

***Back to Back FDC events! VIP Auto Fashion on Sat. and Toys for Tots on Sun. This F-Club is amazing...

-B-

 

All I can say is WOW! Those 456 & F40 pics were UN-BE-LIEVABLE!

 

I have to agree with Frank and the others, those driving shots are GREAT!!!! I love them. Definitely some of your better photos. Absolutely phenomenal.

I'll be sure to go to this even next year!

 

great moving shots. two events in one weekend, WOW!!!

 

Yea - WOW - Jay - AWESOME motion shots!!! Your pictures are improving exponentially! Very nicely done. It helps having an SLR, huh? Thanks for sharing the pictures, they're amazing!

Jay,
What great Photos. The moving shots are your BEST!!! Maybe we could get together one day , I'll pay you to take photos like that!!! You supply the driver of the Chase car! Looks like a GREAT turnout! I didn't think it was this big of an event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Definitely, I already made a post - but those shots are phenomenal!! I think it's exceptionally cool that the owners get to have pictures of themselves DRIVING! Anyone can park their car and take shots of it, but it's not easy getting good moving shots without quite a bit of help! I'm not trying to take Frank's job as "chase car pilot", but I'd be more than happy to help you out Jay (and Armen) any time. No payment necessary - the experience alone would be worth it! Thanks again for the pics!!!

 

Dustin,

Thanks again for putting on an incredible event! I can't wait for next year!

 

Wow! That looks like an even better show than Crystal Cove.
Amazing shots

 

Oh my god..... I don't know what to say.

Thank you so much.

 

Oh my.... Those are some amazing pictures!!! I loved the first few shots of the 456 and the F40 the best... very nice. Thanks for making my boring sunday a little better.

11 more days for my license, if i pass.... Prey for me

 

truly awesome pics ..

 

Wow does not describe it. Brutal would be a better choiceof words! I need a vacation from my vacation! If I don't see another Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo whatever until............... Oh! I guess we're having Pizza, Then CC, then Detailing our cars..... Man it's great to live in So. Cal. !

Thanks to the FDC and all my friends that made this weekend one to remember.

Oh, And Jon, Great side trip along the back roads. THANKS! It was the frosting on the cake!

 

Absolutely fantastic! I beleive I would've died being there! Too bad this wasn't next week. Going down to California December 9th.

 

Jay those action shots are fantastic - I love seeing these machines on the move. Had a full-on weekend with holiday parties plus some dog injury issues so couldn't make it - was thinking I might sneak out in my big iron ('57 Buick Century I've recently acquired) and come visit the show but Mrs. K actually started early today so no luck.

Thanks for the pix and I will definitely have to make this event the next time.

Gonna try to make CC in a couple weeks with my latest...look for big and black...

Cheers
Kevin

Thanks for everything Dusty. Now get some rest!

 

Here's about 50 of mine from today. Nothing like Jay's this week. Looks like I need to go back to skool.

Quick recap of the day.
6 am- Jay and I arrived at The Coffee Bean in Irvine at the designated time.
6:10- Jay and I begin to suspect the time has been RE-designated after I left VIP last night. Start recounting known practical jokes played by f-chatters. Begin to contemplate solo run to Westlake.
6:15- We spot Byron's 456 entering gas station on other side of parking lot. Huge sigh of relief.
6:20- We begin to wonder whether lack of sleep is causing us to hallucinate as we distinctly hear the sound of a roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex approaching rapidly down Alton.
6:21- Supersick F40 rolls into service station sporting outrageously loud Tubi LM exhaust system.
6:25- Jay and I attempt to keep up with 456 and F40 in support vehicle as we head up 405 to meet Jeffrey and Gary "on the freeway."
6:30- After a few photo passes we realize 456 and F40 have pulled onto shoulder, we do likewise.
6:31- F40 and 456 attempt to ditch lowly Mazda support vehicle and photo crew as they sweep past at somewhere North of 300 mph.
6:35- Now knowing Mazda to be capable of 120 mph, and finally fully awake, photo crew thankful for even light traffic which has slowed F40 and 456 to subsonic speed long enough for us to reattain visual.
6:36- Blue CS (freshly striped) and yellow 360 join group along with 365 2 + 2 ferrying Marine in full dress blues.
6:36-7:15- Light traffic allows support vehicle to get in position for Jay to capture the wickedest sick pics ever.
- Along with known mods to the F40, Will and Rick have apparently discovered the proper power coupling setup to achieve hyperspace at the drop of a throttle.
- Random juxtopositioning finds Rick's "kit car" lined up with true VW source car sporting tires slightly smaller than next set Rick has ordered for F40.
- Blue CS and Yellow Modena appear to have been inspired by IKEA sign in Carson.
- Slight lane diversion at nearly triple digit speeds because of construction almost lands Jay on roof of 360.
7:15- Support vehicle driver's ears finally register words coming from copilot as "they're getting off here." 5-lane HOV-to-exit-ramp power slide ensues--in front of CHP officer--who luckily already has his prey.
7:20- Meet up with other FDC members at FX. Jay takes shotgun in the F40 for next leg. More hillarity ensues. But that will have to wait for another time.
