5th Annual Texas Hillcountry Meet [pics and vids] - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #76380 34 posts Started by DEATH
First I'd like to thank everyone who showed up [and on a personal note I'd like to thank everyone who stayed the hour it took to source and replace a radiator in a strange town].
We had some excellent cars and once the group got to the twisties it turned really fun really quickly.
This year, instead of taking my normal leadership roll, I thought I'd kick back and actually enjoy the run with my GF and let someone else do the work laugh.gif For that, I'd also like to thank Stephen Lee - for taking over the responsibilities. biggrin.gif
All that out of the way, let's post some pics and vids! I'll start by moving 2bCelica's raw vids over here and I'll follow up with my raw vids and pics befor eI leave work today:

Bringing discussion here:

It was nice to meet everyone and a great cruise. This was my first meet I had any leadership roll in and had a couple mishaps lol (missed turn, cop...?) anyway, I think for next year I'm going to go up to Austin and find a longer, better route and actually drive it on my own before taking the group there. and NP DEATH, leading a bunch of Celicas was actually somewhat cool tongue.gif

When I get some free time during work (rare now) or after work ill post up my vids/pics.

I loved the Lime Creek run, it was great. I really want to attend another one before I leave, maybe in the spring? Despite the....unfortunate events, it was a good time. I think that the next time the meet up point should be closer to the actual run. I hear that Marble Falls is nice, and looking at maps, it hooks up with Lime Creek. And if I recall correctly, at the top ("The Oasis") there was a parking garage, I think a photoshoot on the top would be a good spot to end it. But Im not all to familiar with the area, so I really don't know, just suggesting. Now with the pics.....
























The last one is my favorite! BTW, I hope that new radiator is holding up, the old one had it coming IMO!

Lime Creek was the place where my Bernadine (Trans Am) got her cherry popped most hard turns in her life and mine as well. It was a great time, it was cool meeting new people and seeing my bud again. Hopefully, if there is a next time I will bring Eugene(my 240sx) to see how it handles. Overall great time and I'm glad I was the only one repping the muscle cars woop! woop! or trying too at least...too much body roll kindasad.gif ...

man, it looks like you guys had a great turn out! Still sad and upset that I had to miss this one. If money wasn't such a big issue, I so would've been there. Hopefully you guys plan one for the Spring! smile.gif

Texas 6GC Meet, 2010 (Spider77's Vid)
So above is the video link. I really wish that Photobucket worked for me, but its being a bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So I have now switched over to ImageShack (so lets see how that works). Please keep in mind that Im not a professional video editor, but I do try.....But really, everyone should be treated soon as there should be a nice one up with lots of film on the floor, saving the best to view.
First of all I would like to thanks some people. Primary is Death, who put this whole thing together, even though his radiator exploded, and his backup died, it was still nice to see the Celica and meet the man who put it together. Secondly, want to thank AkiraD1, my co-pilot and camera man. It was a long drive, and an interesting run (with all the "missed" turns), but you made the trip great, thanks. To Hazmat, thanks for cruising with us, and you better lower soon! Stephen_lee, thanks for taking the lead, I had no idea where I was half the time, but you took most the stress out of the run, thanks! And Flo, your a bastard, and I cant wait to chill again, it was good to see ya man! To the rest of the 6GC members, thanks for coming out and making a lasting impression, I had a great time and hope that we can do this again before Im gone from Texas!
yay my car was actually in the vid laugh.gif lol

nice dude the video is pretty BA

Thanks, its a shame that we didnt get the supra guys.
I know I cant be the only one looking forward to Ping's addition...
I'm still going to get the photo's of the GF's Camera soon so I'll have some photos to contribute with!

I would also like to thank everyone who made this possible and big thanks to DEATH and Stephen! Big thanks to Spider for putting up with my total horrid sense of direction over all the times we have met up and for making me attend, also to Akirad for threatening me if I didn't show haha laugh.gif

I love the action shots of the radiator removal. Reminds me of the DWG meet when I took my hood off and drove around trying too cool things off better. haha
Here are a few pictures that my sister took while on the cruise.





^ that is where we should do the photo shoot for the next trip.

^This is one of my favorite pictures... idk why... it just is.










^No matter what I try, I cant get this image to post in a rotated view eventhough it is correctly rotated in photobucket. My bad.


^If you look closely, you can see Matt (AKA DEATH) signaling me that I am #1...lol!








^ this is another one of my favorites... It's not special, I just like it.
wow, does my cars top THAT bad from the back...i really need to get that fixed
