Gainesville/Ocala Meet

OMG-Tryangles:
If you still have the car and you would like some help, I'll be happy to help you this weekend. I understand you are frustrated and not having money when there is a problem sucks.
Send me a Private Message on whether Saturday or Sunday is best for you (not during the game...haha) and I can at least give you another set of hands/eyes to maybe help you. I also will need to know where to meet you.

LOL. Yeah, if you wanna drive safe, stick by me. I'm the slowest of the bunch.
OMG-tryangles...take the help being offered to you. Your posts come off as a pity party, almost like you are throwing a temper tantrum on the web. We all feel your pain. We have all been in your situation. So give all of us, any of us time to help. We all have lives too and can't just drop it because you send a post for help and we can't respond in a day.
Glad you have a rotary and glad you have wanted one since you were 15. Maybe you need to put a v8 in it. LOL.
I wish you luck and I hope Gringo can help you. Don't take any of this the wrong way, we're all just havin' fun and I hope one day you can join us in a fun run.. Come in the 240, hell we had an RX-7 support wagon last time.

I stopped by Joe's today to help him with his car...pretty clean Turbo. My initial reaction is it is flooded to hell and we may have to get a larger vehicle and push start it. That being said, I supposed it could be blown as well due to what happened. Very interesting situation.

I had two ideas for the meet. I thought I'd run them by you guys.
I have a digital camera, nothing special. But it takes a decent pic and does videos.
I thought if we could arrange the cars in a semi-circle we could get a group pic with the owners standing by their cars. (Is there a back part of the Hooters lot that would be big enough? Or another open area nearby?)
Group shots have been done before. Nothing new there.
I was also thinking of trying to do a video of a "group rev." I'd be willing to tip a Hooters waitress $10 or something, then on her signal, all the cars would rev their engines at once for a group rev. It won't sound like a bunch of Harley's, but it might be interesting. I haven't heard of it being tried before.
If anyone has better camera or video equipment than me, please bring it along.

A group photo usually requires the cars to be arranged in a sort of half circle so all the cars fit into the frame with a frontal view and nobody's in a back row. That requires a decent size open area. I'm sure we can find one nearby.
The "group rev" is done as much for the sound as the visual.
I think it would make for a fun video to have a Hooters waitress wave a flag or a napkin to have all the cars rev their engines in unison.
I suppose we could do that with the cars where they are in the parking lot, or arrange them in two rows, or something. If everyone's willing, we can find a way to make it work.
I have a VHS camcorder that gets better sound than my digital camera. I'll bring it along. The only drawback is it's more difficult for me to put a VHS video on the web. If anyone has better equipment than mine, please bring it along.
