    Ok, the West Coast showed us the way over the Golden Gate.
    Heck, the GWB is just as impressive. I was thinking we get a couple of photographers stationed midway & at the ends of the GWB as we drive the exotics en-masse, across the bridge. Of course early, so we can drive 4-5 across and several deep. 45min to organize, 2 runs over the bridge taking an hour, then vamanous. Cameras stationed at the joisey side pointed towards NYC to capture the morning skyline would be very impressive.
    Anybody have a helicopter for the shot? Exotics on the upper & lower level would be even more impressive.

    I'm thinking it has to be done in the next two months.

    Interested?

    Thank you.

    Sounds like a fun idea Clyde, but it'd be tough to convince enough Fcar drivers from the area to set aside their differences and convene for something like this.

    clyde you can almost forget about it. After 9/11 you will not be able to take pictures or videos from the bridges.

    If we can plan it, they will come :D I'd like to extend the offer/olive branch to *any* exotic. Twenty or so exotics would do it.

    Perhaps. Anybody have an in??? Emil, do you have any magic to spread around? Worse case, we set up just impromptu & use telephoto lenses.

    it's not all that bad. I checked it out the other day running Geoff from NYC to WWoC. It's not sparkly, but hey it's NY. Besides, it be a nice piece for the next "Beyond the quarter mile"

    I would NOT mess around with this. Get clear permission or you risk serious problems.

    Well, if the FXX isn't ready, your 430 should be ;)


    And regarding pictures of the GWB: I'll reach out to the P.A. (no...Port Authority) to see what we can do without trouble.
