Great stuff Wash.
:) Thanks, Dane!
Our world traveler has returned!! I love the Danube. Need to get back to Europe before too long.
:) We spent 5 days in Budapest and then about 4 days in Bonn, Germany, where my wife and I met 10 yrs ago, and had a small but great anniversary/reunion with all our friends from Germany and England who were part of our 'beginnings' back then...it was a great few days, but I am sad I missed the meet up...
I absolutely recommend Budapest: wonderful scenery, architecture and food.
Best excuse ever to miss. Nothing like going back to where it first started with your wife, cool you were able to do that.
Beautiful! Glad you guys has a good trip.Quote:

So last weekend I took a trip down south while everyone was playing at SigFest. I had a blast driving home on the 1 and was happy the fiance didn't mind taking the more scenic route home. Here are some pics from the amateur photog in the passenger seat:

This mustang and I played on the 1 for about an hour until we hit this traffic.

Casey and I were just sayin the other day, Scooby is the shizz. (Except I never liked Scrappy Doo). My kids watch Scooby now.

Don't want to go OT, but did you post somewhere your thoughts on your first trip?Quote:

The speed during takeoff was impressive, I just wish I knew to chew gum during the trip there (I knew on the way back)Quote:

Overall it has opened doors for me to have new places to visit.

My Z cars and me Tuning a turbo S2000 on the dyno.
:like
I had a '73 240Z and an '80 280Z, wife had a '86? 300ZX back in the day.
my dad had a 280Z when I was a kid, too bad he sold it when we moved to SD
On my way to pick up a clay bar kit and window cleaner I spotted this nice looking 328.
Kinda funny as the car was acting like a storage unit (back seat was stuffed with stuff up to the roof), which was parked in a storage facility.

Seeing this makes me want to get a set of wheels and a drop....
Thanks for sharing. TSA does suck. You experienced just about the worst parts of flying, delays and circling. Luckily your bags didn't get lost!Quote:

Can anyone say "road trip!" ?
TSA- "They Suck A--"
One gets used to flying, and used to liking it...
Me and wifey frequently fly long distances, most of our flights are over 7 hrs at a time, and include 24 hr flying times one way (2-3 flights combined), and when we fly to Sri Lanka (my parents live there), some of the flights are about 12-13 hrs (from London to Colombo, for example). It was scary at the beginning, but after doing it many times, one gains confidence, and learns to tolerate it, and even enjoy it (at times). I just wish i could sleep more in planes, which can help with tiredness esp. when flying for 13 hrs straight...I am a very light sleeper by nature, so I don't get much sleep during flying.
Took these pics today while at Point Loma, CA :) Turned out to be an awesome day! Having lunch at Hodad's in Ocean Beach today... what could be better!!! :biggrin

No problem Dane! :thumbsup
Going to hitch my ride tomorrow... should be a fun week of testing :)
Charlie, I had my first Hoedad's 2 weeks ago. It was awesome! I didn't even know about it. Glad you made it there.
You know John, that's funny because I lived in San Diego for 4 years and never went to Hodad's until this trip. Glad I finally made it there :thumbsup Great atmosphere and food :) Man those burgers are huge!!!Quote:

My dad had a 72 240Z years ago. It was the car I first learned stick on. I eventually got an 86 gold 300zx as a beater to hold me over. My point is, the 240Z was amazing. the gold 300, not so much.Quote:

One of those water jet packs, flying around in the water off the coast of Hermosa Beach. Was kinda far away on my cell phone, so zoomed in quite a bit, so it's blurry. Not something you see every day. EDIT: Wow, didn't realize it would post so small.
