    Heading down to the HRE thing tomorrow and the fiancee is actually willing to be dragged along to C&C.

    Is 8am a decent time to arrive? Seems like everyone gets there at the butt-crack of dawn and I just don't want to show up after everyone has left...

    That's pretty late. That's when most people have left already. Especially tomorrow, it seem smost are going to leave around 8 to head off to HRE.


    For those that don't know about the event:

    8am is way late, as Leo said. 7:30 would be the absolute cut-off. After that, people start leaving. 8am, the lot becomes somewhat empty. 8:30am, it's nearly empty.

    Dammit.
    The HRE thing would be interesting, but where was the advanced notice?

    Dangit, I wish HRE was North of me, not South. Running errands in the Fullerton area today. I'd love to check out their shop.

    That's my neck of the woods. I always try getting to C'n'C by 6:30-6:45..
    No such luck during the soccer season though.
    On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit.' As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high - Ayton Senna

    Don't think I did

    Where did you hide it?

    I saw you on the road but just couldn't get a good shot. You were next to us at the light to turn for the HRE headquarters. I was riding in the lowered Infiniti.

    I think the only shot I have of your car is from Supercar Sunday.

    Edit: Just found three shots but all are ass end rolling shots. Never got a shot of the front with the cool vinyl job.

    Haven't checked yet. I'm working on writing a few articles for Driven World Magazine right now.

    One of them is actually on me...choosing my favorite shots is taking me a few hours -_-
