Drive & BBQ 09-08-07

Yes, I echo Prancing Horse's gratitude! 90KoenigTR, you have a magnificent house; the food was wonderful, and you are a great guy -- your car is pretty amazing too!

Sean & Katie: Thanks for shooting us and doing some great traffic work in the tunnel -- it was really tough, and we are all anxious to see the final product.

Prancing Horse: You did another great Milk Run -- this one was pretty challenging -- thanks for setting it up and mapping it out for us -- it was a lot of work.

Lotus Elise Driver: Kevin & the real tall guy with the green shirt that was our still photographer: Thanks for shooting us -- we can't wait to see all the great shots!

SpiderGuy: We missed you!

Prancing Horse,

I really love this run...Sean and Katie mentioned of getting some bottom down film shots of us; they would be on top of the mountain and shoot down at us -- almost like a view from a helicopter. Thoughts?

 

great run today. Thanks for Organizing Lyndon and Vijay...Sorry I had to cut out and head home early. Here are some shots from today.

Prancing Horse and Others who made today happen, Thank you ! Sorry, I missed the BBQ for it was my anniversary and had plans.
The roads were amazing and hope to see you guys soon.

Cheers - Franky

 

I wish I could have gone. Just busy. A big Nebraska game and had to lay some slate today on the porch....

 

You guys are great! I can't tell you what an absolute pleasure it was to have you at the house. You're the best, Lyndon. What a drive! Those high speed sweepers with our frantic suspensions working hard(first time ever for me), the fast and furious passing on return(um, not recommended), the impromptu car show in that little town (they were happy to see us), and the rush & roar through the tunnel (they were not so happy to see us)! What a beautiful day...

Thanks for everyone's patience with the gathering. Tony T, Alfonso, Tom D, Nick, Mark, John, Brian, Junior, Josh, Frank, Mitch, Michael, Carmine, and all... supercool and always welcome. Sorry for those who couldn't make it back to Berkeley. All of your sweet rides were surprisingly well-received in this 'little' town! You simply must come back soon(got a phone list,hehe). And I certainly can't wait 'til the next run. Be well until then.

 

Thanks for coming Sean, Katie, and Kevin would really like see you guys again too. Alfonso was right: we should do that high-speed again run for the cameras. Can't wait to see your photos and video! What a beautiful day!!!!

 

VJ, sounded like a great time. Sorry I missed out. We'll get together soon. You still need to pick 6 from our shoot =)

 

It was nice meeting all of you and thanks again Lyndon, great drive as always (and Kevin of course for letting me ride shotgun as usual ). Here are a few, I'll get up the rest tonight or tomorrow.

I was at Brian's yesterday...your car looks soooo clean.

Alex, nice shots as usual

 

AlexD,

Amazing shots -- especially, that Countach! The Porsche at speed was really cool, as well. I realize it was tough shooting us because I saw half your body hanging out of Kevin's Lotus Elise when you guys were at speed. You have a good steady hand to get the clarity of our cars while you were moving.

It was a pleasure to have met you; and, I look forward to seeing you at other Milk Runs!
