haha, of course she did

 

Nice legs!

Nice pic. Looks more like a lake than a bay.

 

yeah im so sorry.. im making the video as we speak, i just havent had any time to make it so far.. im having a problem with the pictures because they are at my dads house.. the video will be up tonight and i promise promise promise that the pictures will be up tomorrow.. check in like an hour and the video should be up.. just so u know itll be a lot shorter than usual

 

the video is done.. the quality is definitely not like normal (i dont know why but there is no "watch in high quality" button, its the same camera as last time).. ferrariblue, your 360 sounded really good! unfortunately, i wont be here for the next two events because i will be in china. when i get back though ill continue videotaping the events (by the way i dropped the video camera when ty was leaving in the gallardo so i need to buy a new one, i was able to upload the videos to the computer but i cant record anymore). the pictures will be up tomorrow for sure

heres the link for the video (for some reason its not widescreen either, i think its kinda messed up because i dropped it):

Sorry to hear about the camcorder?

 

Sorry to hear what happened Will

 

Awesome pic Ro!!!

 

Sorry to hear about the camera. I recently bought a Sony DCR-SR45 Handycam for $398 shipped from www.butterflyphoto.com. Cheapest pricing I found anywhere.

 

i just checked my video on youtube and there is now a high quality button. Thats so weird cuz it wasnt there yesterday. was it there when u guys checked?

 

Ro, I am going to get the pics from the autumnbahn photoshoot tomorrow (Friday) will call you!!

 

Think ever since I started using YouTube Beta its been there.

 

I know that the Saturday cars and coffee was never meant to be a dealer tour but I received an offer that I said I would throw out to you guys and see if anyone was interested so here it goes...

Would anyone be interested in having the next cars and coffee at a local Lexus dealer for a ride and drive of the new IS F? I will not mention the dealer name just yet unless we decide to do it but it is in Houston. The dealer has offered basically to do the same thing that we had at LOH last Saturday but obviously there wouldnt be as much eye candy to look at in the shop as there was at LOH. They were however interested in showing off the new IS F and discussing details if anyone is interested...

So what say you?

 

Damn! I won't be in Houston till August. I'd love to check out the new IS-F.

 

I would definitely be interested. Lexus or not. Any dealer willing to open up their place to a bunch of people is a dealer I'm willing to look at first to do business with.

That is a good idea. However, we would have to make sure that most everyone would agree to go on the cruise. We don't want the same thing to happen again. I felt bad for LoH because they had so much food and drink and not nearly the amount of people anticipated.

I'm not sure why the turn out was so low. Was word not spread as much as before?

One thing I have thought about Cody is expected attendance. If someone says they are coming, but cannot make it, we need to be notified about that.

 

Great point. I agree. And as time rolls on it may grow on it's own.

Not like we don't have a good time regardless of our locatoin.

 

The last time we did it at Starbucks, I plasterred it all over the boards, HPD, H-I, Lambo, Vette, Viper, etc. and just did a viral-type of marketing. I emailed everyone and their mom! There were a few moms there too! haha That is why we had so many people from all car types. That needs to happen again for it to be successful. There was a lot of work behind the scenes (text messages, emails, calls, blogs, etc.).It doesn't matter where the event is, if it is advertised and hyped-up, people will go....unless of course it is in the sketchy parts of town where I live...haha.

Sorry that there was a low turnout at LOH, especially with the long notice. There just needs to be a better job of advertising, and most importantly, following up the contacts to hype up the event.

I disagree with the statement about not asking for an RSPV. If you recall last time and take a look at the last event thread, I updated that list every few hours and built up the hype. An RSVP is a commitment, and most people that say they will be going via RSVP will go. If not, they get a sense they "sold out." An RSVP gives a person a sense they belong and are a part of something...that they are required to attend. It also shows those that are going, that the list is building and catching up to the hype. Were you guys looking every few hours to see if anyone else RSPV'ed? I know I did.

That's just my $0.02.

I'm down for wherever next time. Let's all do our part in the FChat community to spread the word.

 

By the way, here are some pics from NASA. It was awesome! We actually were able to bring our cars in the building and pose next to the shuttles and exhibits.

Thanks to AutumnBahn for putting this together for charity!
