Hey guys, I just registered to let ya know we made it out ok. Just had to wait for the RX7 FC to cool down and we were back on track.
I took some footage from the first 20mins out and will be back to post once I upload it.
Thanks again for coming back to make sure everything was ok.

Was wondering where you went when you disappeared from my rearview in the beginning. Glad to hear it worked itself out!

Overall, awesome cruise - no u-turns this time! :sm_laughing:

I have to bring my car to the dealer to have the car checked out i ran over a nice sized rock and it broke some things underneath. Hopefully it's just the plastic undertray

Why, blue, of course...


For the radio guys, they just don't work, that's why there is a somewhat uniform code of hand signals that folks should learn, at least the basics.

For trailing cars:

'Point past' - hand out the window, index finger pointing down and forward, let's the bikes know you are aware of them and they can pass safely.

'Do not pass!' - Hand extended out window, palm facing rearward, let drivers coming up on you there is a hazard.

'Oh shit!' - Arm extended straight up with a slight waving motion, usually reserved for when you've broken down or need some other assistance.

Woo Hoo!!!! - Both hands extended straight up as you crest a hill on a beautiful sunny day, this signal is reserved for those of us in Roadsters!


Oncoming traffic:

'Watch out for cops ahead' - Is either a hand patting the top of your helmet or a hand out the window, palm down in a patting sort of motion.

'Accident ahead' is the same motion as cops but with much bigger eyes usually.


You can pass hand signals down the line pretty quickly since your job as a driver is to pay attention to the car in front and watch the car behind you and if it isn't there to let the guys in front of you know.

Oh in the beginning I was filming. I pulled over to film people driving by and to get as many cars as I could. I go some good footage of the champagne colored Z28, the Maroon SS Cobalt and the Blue Z06, then the Z3 and a few miatas in front of him before my battery died :(
I had a great run with the other RX7, Grey MX-5, and the Black A4. I think we had about 5 good minutes of no obstructions up in that snow area. I wish my camera had caught it!

Hey! I'm the black A4 guy :D just registered to get access to all videos & pics...thought I'd drop in a hello as well! I turned off once I saw the 138 sign, hope he/you both reached safely down to Fudds...
