Doc,
Click on the photo, make it full screen, then right click SAVE PICTURE AS to grab it.
On my car and photos, haven't done it still. Someone can do it with my camera for me on the Biosphere run. For some reason, I just can't find myself taking a ton of pictures of my own car...
36 HOURS TO GO!

Good photos Dick, just a few too many of my rear...
Awesome drive! The windy part of the way back, when not encumbered by slow vehicles, was the best.
I'll post mine tomorrow when I have some time. I wish I had brought it for the biosphere part...

Great drive - I guess I'm now initiated into the group
I'll post some pics after we finish the roll, get them developed and then scan them into the computer.
(This may take awhile - I need a new digital camera!)
Good to see you guys/meet everyone who we hadn't met before!

Great Drive!!
Biosphere 2 Run:
We all met up at Starbucks in the crowded parking lot, guzzled some stimulants to get us going, picked up our great T-shirts from Jordan (nice work man!) and then took off for the open road. Heading down Hwy 60 was fast running until we reached the Renaissance Festival and traffic thickened up, but we managed to get by and then open it up across the desert. As we passed Florence we picked up DriverWithTheBigGrin and moved the Caravan to the Biosphere 2 campus, nearly scaring a poor Jeep off the road.
Biosphere 2 was interesting, a noble attempt at complete isolation and understanding of our complex world. Too bad most of it was "Under Renovation". (what were they really growing in that rainforest dome?!). We all snarfed down a number of hotdogs and pretzels, then moved on to the tour. Unable to hear half of the tour guides descriptions, most of us made up our own documentary and made the tour that much more entertaining. Jordan and Adam helped themselves to what they thought was a sushi bar in the ocean display, and I was particularly fascinated by the plastic garbage bags that were a part of the desert biodome.
After finishing the tour, many pictures were taken and then the long trek back to the cars was accomplished.
Back on the road we made good time to Superior after surviving the smoke screen laid down by a full-sized Ford pickup struggling through the mountain pass. Great curves. great scenery and perfect weather. After gassing up at superior we made our way through the maze of traffic and cop cars into Phoenix.
Finally arriving at RockBottom Brewery, a good meal and few cold beers were very welcome. One of our good members managed to walk off with a valuable piece of information that no one expected he would obtain.
(GOOD LUCK!!!)
Overall the drive was a wonderful success!
Looking forward to the next big event!

Nice drive, guys/gals, and I had great time hanging out with everyone at dinner. We need to set a date for the "Ceo2b hosts a drive, bbq, sleep-over and beer bash" event -- I am thinking about bringing a half barrel of hefeweisen from Rock Bottom....um, um, good.
That Jeep incident was kind of cool: he spent so much effort looking at the S2000s coming up on his tail that he crossed the yellow line and almost had a head-on collision. Maybe he was smoking whatever the hell they were growing in the rainforest dome.
Dick, that is the best picture of my gut ever taken! The women on a few south Pacific islands are swooning over my fertility and manliness, I bet.
Y'all know what's next, right? GREER!

Sorry to have had to miss the drive (last min. emergency came up), it sounds like you all had a blast. I am hoping to be able to make it to the next drive and meet up with all the the S2000 owners in Phoenix.

Finally went out the car, retrieved my camera and uploaded some photos - they are on my site - soon to be on the club site (just grab them Doc).
My photos are just shots of the individuals and the cars.
April 6th still needs to be tomorrow!
