Just one last check that this is still on? Roads are wet here, but nothing falling from the sky. I'm heading out to the garage in 10 minutes unless someone posts otherwise.

Was a great drive. Nice and comfy with a warm seat and quiet engine...
Will have to get the pictures off my phone tomorrow and upload them.

Had a great time. I'll admit, when I got home I was a little tired. All that thinking during the enthusiastic cornering, braking, shifting, and hills made for a fun drive but I was worn out when I got home. My wife tried to snap some photos but none of them turned out - she was compaining it was too tough to hold her arms and camera still LMAO.

She normally sleeps in the car but she was wide awake until the bitter end - she passed right out once we hit the 401 to head home again.

So here are the pictures I took... while NOT driving... obviously... cause that's all sorts of illegal... :o :shock:

Slideshow - http://s225.photobucket.com/user/sargea ... ills%20Run
Library View - http://s225.photobucket.com/user/sargea ... ills%20Run

All the smaller view pictures are from when I was zoomed in - I guess zoom by Blackberry standards is just, take a smaller view area... :roll: Maybe if I actually had a decent phone/camera the pics would be better.
Still gives a feeling of what we went through.

Driving in the Rio trying to do some of the same things as the Fieros made me feel like I was in Fast and Furious. 1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,4,5,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,4,3,2,1.. Climbing that narrow winding hill was fun... this thing is gutless in comparison, but has approx the same HP.

Yes we really enjoyed that hill climb as well. Very scenic, we will be revisiting that spot for sure. I had to grab 1st on the second turn up I think.

Thanks for grabbing some shots Steve - makes my bum look good LMAO.

Hi Leo here.
Thanks Nick for the grate run.
Had a grate time for the first half .Was wondering if i would make it home with out calling a tow truck .
made it home broken strut shaft right at the end of the thread.The way i made it home is because of the aftermarket lower can trow arm that i
got from HP suspension or the ones you can get from the fiero store .This weekend will
machine a thread on the end and modify the other side to be the same .
will try to post pictures.
Nice to see you all. I like the rear view mirror shot .
