Nice pictures Dale, my wife was asking me if anyone took pictures of the people at the event. (since my pics were all of the cars)

I went around and took pictures of all the tables at the main event. I was just looking them over and I'm not sure if the subjects would necessarily appreciate me posting these candid shots...

Did anyone notice the bridges we went across? Some of them are impressive works - like this one:

That is Bixby Bridge... One of the most photographed sites on Highway 1. I have looked for three years to try to find a way to get a picture of Fieros with that bridge in the background but there is just no way.

Here is a picture of the group taken on the way North.

I think we have to rely on the individual pictures taken to see the rest of the people who were there. We were so rushed after lunch that we didn't get a good group shot. It was a great group anyway!

Wow! I asked to see more pic's.... Thanks a bunch....what has been posted is great! My wife and I really enjoyed viewing them. Wish we could have been there and look forward to joining the run next time!

Alright guys and gals I set up a nice user friendly site. Go see my Coast Run pics here.........

Great pictures, Paul! And hilarious videos. Funny how you feel like the car starts drifting when the camera gets turned!

Thanks for setting up the page too... Looks great!

Had a great time! Thanks Dale and Rie. Next year no Honda. The Fiero goes on the run if I have to push it.

Is there any way we can post pictures of ourselve with our call name??? Wish I knew everyones name and their Pennocks call name. Or maybe standing next to their respective Fiero. Just a suggestion.

Hey everyone! This is Brianna (Dale and Rie's daughter) and I am now up and running. I've seen some great pictures! And not just the ones Dale posted but all of them. Thanks to everyone! I had a great time. This was not my first trip to the Coast Run but it was my first time to go on the ride and I loved. I can only hope I'll have my own Fiero soon and have it ready for next year! Take care everyone and in the words of my dad "I'll see yall round the forum"

Nice pictures everyone!! lets hope this is the last 'coast-run' i miss out on =/
Good thing is i'll be able to drive me car this next weekend! i haven't driven it for about 3-4months (up here in WA)...

Mary and I finally made it home. We got to Paso Robles just fine on the bad tire. I went to Walmart and had both fronts replaced. Janell, Kaleen and Pokey hung out with us. While they were doing the tires, we went to a movie (Zathura, fun movie). Mary and I spent the night at the house in Hollister, so we could meet with the draftsman/designer this morning, and got back to Hayward abour 12:30.

Thanks again to Dale and Rie for another great run.

I counted 24 Fiero's at the top of the parking garage in Salinas.....

Kit (the man with the mean, clean Fiero machine........well, maybe I should omit the "mean" part, heh?)

Just want to say that it was a great day, very good weather, and a cool crew. As the people have said above and more

Looks like we will be at the next one in 2006

I had fun. I need tires.

I know a place in Paso Robles that has tires for you Pokey.

Dale and Rie, thanks again for all the hard work you put into doing this, we are counting the days until next years run!

It is always great to see old freinds and meet new ones, can't wait for the next one!

Didn't you say something about a Bakersfield meet? lol

Jen~

I know there are a lot more Pictures out there. Lets get them posted.

Next year we need to get some video in a few cars. Front and rear. I would kill for some video of some of the stuff we did this year.
Is there anyone here proficient in this field that could help set it up?????
I don't mean a few seconds here and there I mean a few hours of vid from several different cars. Damn that would rock!!!!

A special thanks to Dale and Marie for helping me out and making this happen for me. Now i just cant wait for next years run. Im excited about brianna getting a fiero of her own. Its was very cool to have brianna ride along with me and im sure i only made her want a fiero even more. Thanks everyone for helping me out and it made my first coast run a extremely fun weekend!!!

Hey Daniel you kikd ass. But I must admit I'm happy to hear Brianna will be in her own car next year. Heck kiddo I won't take a passenger with me when I'm racing. I can't wait till next time when we can roll again.
I was kinda pissy when Tinay (spddy) said he wasn't taking the return trip with us but then you guys (fastback,Steven Snyder and you)made the trip back a blast.

Hey Scott(fastback86) Thanks for not leaving me in the dark driving by brail.

Also I can't remember the fellows name he is pepe la skunk or something like that on here. Has a real nice car and it hauls azz. Anyway You was hauling butt dude.

This was my first Coast Run since I bought my Fiero three months ago and I had an absolute blast!! Dale, can't thank you and Rie for all your hard work putting this together. Everything was so organized. There were some really nice Fieros there so I can't wait till next years run and hopefully by that time i'll have my Fiero ready with all the mods and ready for another Coast cruise!!

Thanks everyone!!

Chet

And the boys waited in line..

What is this...

Who been sitting in my restroom.

Ant they thought that we did not get it on film.

Hey, you were fine weren't you? Besides, if you kept up better, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Just a shot of the bridge as we headed into the pass

Hey PePe LeSkunk here! Lol! (Thanks Pokey...)
Well I made it back up north all in one pieces and it was a very pleasant and strangely short trip too. The run with all of you guys and gals was awesome. Everything was perfect, the weather, the people, and the road. Since the cars have been pretty well covered by those that have posted photos already, I'll attempt to post some alternate views of the run here.

And thanks a ton to our hosts and to our sponsors, you guys ROCK!

Marty

no we knew there would be pictures. I was wondering when they'd find their way onto the net...

thank you Kaleen for saying LOUDLY "Janell, we can't go into the boys bathroom!!!"

Ya well uhm I guess I'll try and keep up better next time. But if I could keep up why would I be called Pokey anymore?
Maybe I just need a faster car that might help. I got a year to figure it out

Hey Pokey,
You asked about taking video while driving. I thought of one possible method. With a laptop and a good USB-2 or Fire wire web cam you could capture some very long videos (if you use windows media encoder set up to capture in real-time). I've done this with my desktop PC and a good USB-1 web cam. The camera could be mounted on the exterior of the car (provided that it’s not raining) and a long cable attached. It sounds like a fun project. Makes me kinda wish I had a laptop and a better web cam.

Marty

PS Thanks for the good words earlier... I was majorly impressed with your driving prowess as well. I'm sure I couldn’t handle your car as well as you did. You must have gotten some serious practice in a 911 or something.

Hey pokey- The ride with Daniel was fun…he got me out alive like he promised which was good! (kept my mom from killin him) I agree the ride back was really a blast and I wasn’t even driving. But even when I have my own car next year I don’t think I’ll be keepin up with you, I want to survive next years run And pokey, I can honestly say you’re the only person I know who drives by feelin the bumps in the road (brail).

Thats how we know it was a good run - Rie didn't have to bust out any krago-mago or whatever and kill any of us for driving like maniacs. Course, there is a difference between being good and not getting caught...

Man Dale that is a really great shot. Could you send me the high res of that? I would love a blow up shot of that. lasts years too!!!I will put em next to the fireo glass picture and the coast run banner!!!

We intended to have video this year but that fell under one of the things that got mixed up. We were supposed to have two digital video cameras and two digital still cameras. Friday morning when we were packing I asked Marie where the other two cameras were and she said she had taken them to school and forgotten them. So I figured one of each would be enough. Friday night I was going to hook up the video camera to let the battery charge and I realized that I had the chargind cable for the OTHER camera! So no video.

Marty. I talked about strapping a camera to my T-bar last year too. I guess Marie would have had to held it this year since we were in a convertible. Video would certainly be cool although it would still fall way short of the real thing. Being able to see all of the cars going along the road together AND the scenery is what makes this such a great road for the Run.

I can't speak for Marie but I had a great time and enjoyed meeting and hanging out with all of you. And yes, next year will be even better!

Haha yeah scott your right there. Next year i should have a wee bit more done to the already awesome suspension. Such as larger front and rear sway bars and Koni's all the way around, next year should be good I cant wait!!! Good meeting you and all the others.

Too bad you didn't win the Addco rear sway bar in the raffle, Daniel... Oh wait! You did!

I would love to have a cam mounted outside the drivers side door. With a shot of the road/front wheel and looking forward

Everyone who came to the Coast Run just earned a positive rating from me (most already had one anyway). This was such a great group! Everyone earned it! I want to see these new folks get their ratings bar!

Yep i got the sway bar Now i just got to get it installed over my thanksgiving break. Well when brianna gets her fiero and you get the reatta, i guess ill have to make a trip over there to check them both out. Who did you have paint the reatta dale? Was it the same place that painted marie's car.

[This message has been edited by daniel87fierogt (edited 11-15-2005).]

Same company, different location... Maaco. We were very happy with the Fiero they did and from what I saw of the Reatta this weekend I am thrilled! As I said in another thread, just give them plenty of time. Both times they ran over the predicted time and got me in a bind for an event.

I hear people talking about wanting vids? Well dont forget I have couple on my page....

http://4thgear.mafiamods.com/ccr2005.htm

I think ill find a way to mount it next year and get more footage.
