Pavillions Thanksgiving Weekend 2009

[Xplantdad]

I was able to get away from work and head out to Pavillions. My brother Gary brought his RS/SS Camaro, his son Taylor brought his 1970 Chevelle...and I brought out old blue. Holly rode shotgun with Gary, Lynn rode shotgun with Taylor (he still only has his permit) and Grandma Norma rode shotgun with me!

We stayed for quite a while...BUT the fast approaching weather made us skedaddle. We met up with Kevin DeWitte, Larry Christianson (sp?), the normal Pavillions crew and even Don Breen showed up!

Enjoy the pics...and there is even a video at the end.

The driving is still the best part of having them. That video clip was excellent.

[mockingbird812]

Jacquie, it was suction cup mounted to the wing vent! The Go Pro cameras are cool! (And to think I've had one at work for over two years http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif )

Thanks to Johnny Horsepower for reminding me that it's an option! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Glad that you all enjoyed the video. Old blue is cleaned up already...at least the top side is... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Sebert (Seeb)]

Cool video for sure Bruce, too bad about the rain.
if you didn't put the music as backround, would the wind noise be unbareable?? it'd be cool to hear the cars. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Xplantdad]

Seb...exactly...the wind is all that you can hear!

I'll have to do some in car video soon.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[CamarosRus]

Great Satriani(sp?) music ........incredibe musician.

Bruce, I really admire the obvious skill, experience and equipment you have.
