Pictures from this morning 3/28/09....still pretty cold in the mornings around here.

shadowhusky · 03-28-2009, 05:19 PM

Oh man

I would have loved to go there, I didn't have anything going on today. Where was it at.

Next time please post something about when you will be getting together.

chotto · 03-28-2009, 05:33 PM

That's at AutoEurope.

Nope...... it's at Autozone. just north of 14 mile on the east side of Woodward....every Saturday morning ( get there between 7:30 and 8 if you want a space to park in, and expect to be there till at least 10, because you WILL get blocked in )

shadowhusky · 03-29-2009, 04:29 AM

I am going to try to make it to that one a few times this year, since I have not been working too many Saturdays lately. I'm sure that will probably change when it gets warm out.

Legato · 04-07-2009, 08:23 AM

Just your typical Saturday morning at Auto Zone Hobbies. Here's some shots from other recent gatherings.

All thanks to Eric. (the guy with glasses on the right)

Ryephile · 04-08-2009, 11:10 AM

AutoZone is always a great time, and it gets packed when the weather gets really nice. It's a fantastic mix of enthusiasts from all walks of automotive life, as the pictures show. I'm usually up there [my blue/black MINI made an appearance above], so don't be bashful, stop by and say hi!

Cheers,
Ryan

This Saturday looks to be BEAUTIFUL. So there should be a kick-ass turnout at Auto Zone hobbies. C'mon out!

I will be there is I dont have to work. Of course the weather gets nice and now we get busy at work again.

kestrel74 · 04-24-2009, 07:30 AM

Anyone going tomorrow ?? ( 4/25 ).. better yet, is anyone going driving today or tomorrow ??

MMMotorCity · 04-24-2009, 07:35 AM

I am 50/50 for tomorrow. I will be driving today and tomorrow. 80!

BUELL XB12R · 04-24-2009, 08:29 AM

Are the new Camaros really as big as that one in the first pic looks? That thing looks like a monster truck!

Legato · 04-29-2009, 07:17 AM

The Camaros are HUGE! There's kind of a running gag right now as to who will next show up with the next token Camaro. Their size difference to a Lotus is almost as stupid as my purposely parking that Pinzgauer next to the other Lotus's in that earlier shot.

Each Saturday morning G2G has been pretty good so far this month. We even had a local owner bring his MINT R34 Nissan GTR. It's simply amazing at just what kinda cars can be found hiding in local garages. There was even a Porsche 904 spotted on Woodward last Saturday!

kestrel74 · 04-29-2009, 08:05 AM

Peter, were you there last Sat. ??

Didn't see you.. Eric showed up tho.....Yeah...new Camaros are almost as big as small SUV's !!

Blue R34? If so that guy just did an extreme tasteful NISMO intercooler that looks incredible on it! That car is

mainly because its michigan and he's the only one I know with one haha

kestrel74 · 05-02-2009, 09:56 AM
