Marin Storage Facility Meet (NorCal)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

If it's big enough, I might go there earlier and then just change out my brake pads there and bed them in. My problem is finding a road long enough to do the bedding procedure.

I am not sure how long it is, I am guessing about 1/4 mile, but there are speed bumps. If speed bumps are not an issue though, I am able to pretty much turn completely around at each end of the facility, I am guessing the sedan's turning circle isn't any bigger than the LB, so you can kind of lap it as one continuous enclosed track. I will also have a jack and stands with me which might make it easier to put the brakes on. Also, if you need longer than a quarter mile, you can drive up and down the frontage road which is generally uncrowded and about 1 mile each way.

i just thought of something funny, could my friend who has a lifted Tacoma go? Id loved to see pics later on with just one huge car around small cars. I think it would make for some funny pics and captions.

Yeah he can come. I love Tacoma's....just hate the new ones.
Yeah it'd be cool if he can come, bring him along~

[tomato]

allright!!! I'm looking forward to taking a picture of my Yaris next to his ..er.. vehicle.

Tacoma's are pretty cool actually.

[Kioshi]

Im not sure in what style or setup we will be taking pics at the Storage Facility..maybe computerlove87 can enlighten us a bit w/ the space of the area.....

I would like us lined up in a certain ways and have single shots of each Yaris car too.

I looked at Kaotic's pix of last year and they really looked awesome. I sure like the picture at an angle with the nose of the Yari sticking out.

I don't know if i can top these to be honest! It'll depend on the space, the light, is the sun going to be behind us or in front of us, that sort of thing.

But yeah, I would imagine we'd have to line up all the Yarii at some point. Maybe we can pile them all up in the Tacoma sorry couldn't resist :)

[Kioshi]

What megapixel is your camera tomato? Oh, be ready to reveal your true name at the meet, these screen names just don't cut it at the meets :P
If you have 5 or 6 mp or higher, pics will look awesome. And, damn, i heard its going to be in the 90s on Saturday, damn~~

Sorry, you're gonna have to call me Tomato, it's my nickname, has been my nickname since long before I bought the car actually (long story).
I'm serious, too!

Oh, the camera, it can do up to 12MP, Ithink but I never set it that high because the files are huge and impossible to work with, plus take a year and half to load to my computer, so I usually set it at half that, 5/6 MP. Don't worry, the pictures will come out just fine (unless of course we're facing the sun directly, but that shouldn't be the case early afternoon.) but we have to decide how to compose the pix, so you'll have to help me with that. If you want close up of engines, and parts, that's OK, the camera does pretty good macro shots - although I imagine the parts are not THAT small, even on a Yari ;)

[Kioshi]

Ok I will, but you'll come forth w/ your real name when people start going around w/ theirs hehe. Yeah I'll help out w/ composing the pics...maybe Garm or someone else can as well...I'm really not the punctual type :P

Oh we def. will need close up of parts and engine of Garm's car.

Hahaha!! Once you see me in person, you will forget my name and call me Tomato anyway :)

Yep, definitely Garm's car, I think he expects it and will have the hood up the minute he drives in ;)!

Enter facility, drive in, stop, turn off engine, pops hood immediately

Hey Kioshi can you update the first post with directions, info, and the list of attendees (sp?) I will see you all Saturday, should we get a caravan going?
