I was looking for a boat in photo #1. Then it would be a perfect "Tri-Star" moment.:D

Nice pics.

Sounds like fun, you guys have some "quality" time with the cars. Love the shot of the bridge.

SirNik84 03-18-2010 03:09 PM

The more I look at the pics... turbobenz's car looks so good:thumbsup:

Is that the same ferry they had to go across on the recent Bull Run?

Good pictures
 
That's always a fun run, down the Delta area, I have done it last year with the Eurosunday people, we ended up for lunch in Rio Vista, at "Foster's Bighorn", a filled VERY strange bar with literally hundreds of stuffed animals inside, (many now considered endangered) that were shot and stuffed back in the 1920s and 1930s, in Africa, even an elephant and a giraffe's head are there.

I believe the MBCA is thinking of a run, around this area, sometime this year.


Some parts of the road require LOTS of attention, or you'll drive off into the river.

Other stretches you can go over 100 mph, if you are in the Euro Sunday brigade.

Jim, I love Foster's Bighorn. My dad took me there when I was a kid. I was thinking that maybe after the drive, if there is anyone up for sticking around it would be the place to grab a beer.

Bull Run is a TV show on speed. Its a cross country road rally. I believe it was the same ferry they had to cross this season.

SirNik84 03-19-2010 12:27 PM

Tyler.. I'm going to have to start watching that show. sounds interesting.

Its pretty incredible how much these people will trash their expensive cars for a race.

Eh, they can afford to fix them or buy new ones and to be honest I think it is kinda nice that they are actually using these machines instead of having them sit in a garage somewhere. (Although i've never seen the show I'm guessing that it's similar to the Gumball 3000 rally or whatever it's called)
