Take pictures!

Thanks for the heads up. I will try to make it.

I posted pictures in my gallery.

It was beautiful weather to be showing cars. In addition to the usual variety of Z cars, there were several nice roadsters in attendance, too.

I apologize about the quality of the pictures. My digital camera is several years old, and it's starting to show its age.

I was also in attendance that day and the weather was awesome. I was able to take a few pictures late in the day since I was tapped for judging duty along with Joe B. (the silver 350Z parked next to my car) and I will post those pics as soon as I upload them from my camera. The large roadster turnout was a surprise as well. The owner of the green 260Z was able to get some nice photos of the event and they are here:

Thanks Steve for getting a nice photo of my car. I never made it over to your Z and was interested in finding out about your Z.

Yes, it was a great day to be outside. Unfortunately my face was burned to a crisp. The best part was taking the back roads to Dulles.

I'm hoping to be more active in the club now that I finished my masters degree. I'll probably be at the meeting on the 12th.

By the way, I also have an 87 Supra. It's my other neglected toy.

Steve,

I also received a goodly amount of sunburn on the face . It's funny you mention the masters degree because I am returning to school full time this month to finish the bachelor's with an eye towards going straight through to complete the master's as well (hopefully University of Maryland will be kind) and as such the Z cars may have to sit awhile until the education is completed.

I should be at the meeting on the 12th as well and then it's off to Florida for a week before the next semester begins.

I have enclosed a picture of my '87 Supra which may end up in the classifieds before too long as I have reached the saturation point with 11 cars! The Supra is a great driving car and I will probably regret selling it but Z cars hold my attention for longer periods of time.

Do you have any pics of your Toy?

We going to see you in these parts, Bob? Please bring some cooler weather with you!

I did my MBA online. I prefered coming home to do schoolwork rather than fall asleep in class. No matter how you get your degree, it eats into car time. It was nice to have little projects on the car to do during class breaks.

I don't have any pictures of my Supra handy. It's a turbo with a 5 speed and a targa top. It's starting to show its age, especially having to sit outside while the Z enjoys the tranquility of the garage.

Chris,

I don't know if I'll make it over to Tampa; I'll shoot you an email and try to make a day trip out of it? This time I'll bring extra batteries for the digital camera!

SteveJ,

With the program offered by UMUC the online class promotion is pretty strong; I usually prefer the classroom setting but, I'll have to give the online thing a try as well. With gas at $3.00/gallon and the fact that Z cars like premium the commute to College Park will get trimmed in every way possible. I used to own an '88 Supra turbo/ targa and I regret selling it. It was silver with a burgandy interior and except for the sheer mass of the thing it was fun to drive. As you can see my '87 has also been allowed to suffer from sitting outside. I bought it from the original owner last October and he had gotten to a point with the car that he didn't want to take care of some needed maintenance items and let it sit for about two years. Other than the maintenance issues it has been fun to rekindle the Supra thing. If I get rid of mine I'll have some extra Supra parts if you need them.
