Another Mamacita's Import Meet Boulder 3/8 4:30pm

[WRX Harvey]

Hey Folks. Here we go again. This is a fun All-Import meet I host from time to time and is usually a blast! I show import videos, give out free chips/salsa, and we check out each others rides. Let's go on a nite cruise up some canyons. These are informal meets with mellow folks. Parking is free Sundays. There is a lot across the street and that is where we try to gather the cars.

Mamacitas Mexican Cantina is at 1149 13th street in Boulder. You can mapquest it for a good map.

[celica man]

[WRX Harvey]

7

[Slava]

Jose you going?

[Kwando]

I might be there. 4:30 would be a great time...

[celica man]

I'll be there.
Jose you going?
i think i have my son that weekend.......so if i do go ......it will probably be just for the mountain run.

[David]

You could bring the kid, expose him to imports before he goes to the dark side (domestic) :D

I have an ACT test the next day, so its probably a 50/50 thing

[djet820]

I so want to go to this. I've only been to one..saw lots of cars even though i only met like one person.

[ryanman]

I'll drive my Jeep.

[Skaterkid]

I'm going to do my best to get the night off of work and keep my car running so I can show up.

[tsitim]

since its on the 7th not 8th I will try to make it ;)

[saabracr]

I will be there if my brake lights work and I get the night off work. What's the weather supposed to be like? Where might this cruise go? Not somewhere gravelly I hope.

Andy

[efini]

Due to massive amounts of snow I'll not be driving to SLC this weekend which means... I'll be there! Along with the all the other boulder import peoples.

[ryanman]

pussy

[WRX Harvey]

This meet is definitely going to be cool. For me it keeps getting better as the folks I meet become my freinds and all the new ones are people I am excited to meet and check out their rides which I've only seen pics of.

Speaking of which, I would really love to check out one of your speedier rides Ryanman. Although the Jeep probably ain't a slouch either.


Andy, don't worry, not everyone has awd so I was thinking of just a pavement cruise. If it snows we may have to call the cruise or pack the awd cars full of folks.

My neighbor is bringing the Best Motoring where a Porsche 996 battles a Modena, Corvette C5, Skyline R34. Also the new 350z one too.

[Canuck]

I am hoping to come up tommorow, as long as I can get my work done.

[SpeedStar91]

Nice I might just walk up there

[chris_venturini]

hmmmm i might actually go...

[Weston]

I'll be there.

[chris_venturini]

ryanman and stu always find excuses to not come to meets....... makes me wonder. I havent been able to eat solids for the last week and i think im going to go, you have no excuses.

[HONDA GHANDI]

... makes me wonder....


They are just a couple of pussies.

[chris_venturini]

and no excuses about your car either, I have a freakin nissan altima! Thats been in an accident.....TWICE!!!

[xvir2ualx]

Ill be there

[LeonZ]

I'm at work. The ricer cruise is gonna be gh3y. I wish I could make it to Harvey's though.

[Weston]

Yeah, you know the ricer meet is going to be a POS convention with the revving of the shitboxes and the running of the mouths.

Harvey's is an easy choice.

[David]

and no excuses about your car either, I have a freakin nissan altima! Thats been in an accident.....TWICE!!!
story now!

[Weston]

He crashed into Dima (wild.irish) right in front of me once, then I heard something about him running into his garage or something...

[chris_venturini]

I was also hit in a parking lot, and the guy took off, damaging both of my fenders.

[chris_venturini]

In fact im putting on my new bumper right now, and ill see what i can do about my fenders :(

[karbon2001]

If I wasn't out til 3am last night I'd come.

Pussy.

[BluByU]

It was a good meet, nice turnout everyone. Hung and I got scorned by a local redneck when we ventured back to search for a missing Justin and Chris in the canyon. Damn good time, great food, met some more people, all in all it was a kick ass weekend with fellow HAI people.

[CSMsi311]

Nice meeting some new people. I'll have to come back for the lunch special

[Canuck]

It was nice to mmet some of the people I see post everyday.

Hopefully there will be some cruises when there is no gravel to scare me off.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Had a good time folks. For those who had the cops scold them I have two words.
HA HA, Me and Brian had a great time railing my car up and down GGC Road three times.

What happened after I left?

[HONDA GHANDI]

We took off to go drive Golden Gate, after we sat at the exit to the raod for ten minutes I took off to go start the drive, went up the hill for two miles or so. I turned around to come back and join the crew to find the cops hassling everyone. SO, I turned back around and headed back up the hill and got all the way up without seeing anyone. Met back up with Justin and Hung and turned back downhill to find the rest of the guys coming up. The flyby of the fire station got too much attention so they called the cops on us that met us promptly at the top of the hill. I snuck out of that deal and came back down the hill (alone again)

Had some great turns though. It was pretty rocky and there was one spot on the way back that was pure ice, got lucky and just wasnt on it too hard. It could have been Very bad but it wasnt.

Glad I left the rice/fest to come up with you guys.

[Weston]

The cops were cool. We stuck around at the bottom of the hill for a while, then a cop came and said that they got a call that we were preparing to race. We then had a talk with the cops about Fast & Furious. :rofl: Another cop rolled up, but they both left shortly after. We went hauling ass up the mountain, then eventually ran into Hung as he was coming back down, so we stopped and talked. Apparently the cops were looking for us at that point, and as we were talking, my Valentine One starts picking up a strong signal from ahead. We all jumped in our cars, and like a second later, a cop comes around the corner as we were pulling out.

We got to the top of the hill and pulled over, and in within a minute there were two police vehicles with us, and a third showed up later. They were cool and said that they heard we were driving rather fast up the mountain, so if they see any of us doing anything, they would write all of us tickets for speed contest. At that point we decided to take it easy, and I led the pack to Nederland at the incredibly slow pace of the speed limit. Apparently a car or two got pulled over right away, but I don't know why. And shortly after that, there was a speed trap as we came over a hill. There were two or three cops patrolling as we came into Nederland, but they didn't talk to us. We stopped at a gas station for a bit and then took it easy on the drive back to Boulder.

It was a really good meet and cruise. Big thanks to Harvey.

[chris_venturini]

Justin and I chased you and Hung for while to try to ask where you were going, we flashed our brights and even pulled next to hung waving our hands, but you guys didnt catch the drift, so we just turned around. On the way down we saw a cop driving up, wonder if that was the one you were talking about. There was also a cop at the bottom of the hill just sitting there waiting, we tried calling Hung to warn him but the phone kept cutting out. Oh well, we still had a good time.......god i want a Z. Someday, oh yes you will be mine.

Nice pics.. I wish I was there.

[WRX Harvey]

That was a blast. Great to see you guys.

I guess Ryanman was too busy mining the internet for superb examples of young flesh to grace us with his presence<flame suit on> . After he threatened to bring a lowly jeep even. J/K

I hadn't checked out your S2K before Ghandi, very cool ride. And Forum has got the bling bling James bond kickin'. I will add more pics to that thread in a day or so.

I can't beleive how much fun I had with the Modena, EVO and Lotus today. I am such a happy camper.

[-=[Juztin]=-]

Yeah that was a ton of fun! I tried for a little bit to see if I could get you guys to pull over to see where exactly you guys were going. Didn't know if that road went to Nederland or not, anyhow, we just spun around and took it easy back down the hill, but definately saw the cops. I didn't know when the run was gonna start cause every1 was sitting around for a while, so we just took off w/ Hung following. Good times! :D

[Kwando]

Wish i could have gone on the drive. I'm glad you all had a safe drive.

[STIBungy]

It was alot of fun. Thanks for organizing the meet and cruise, Harvey.

I finally got a chance to safely, I stress the word "safely", test out the capabilities of the STI on tight twisty roads. Yes, it was hella fun! Alex will agree with me, I was a bit intimidated by how the STI reacted to hard cornering being awd and boosted and also torque steer. I was able to adapt to it fairly quick.

We had a scary moment at the top of it as I missed the stop sign and saw this car coming up the road. I ended up slamming on my brakes as hard as I could and, of course, the gravel all over the road didnt help. I did manage to miss going into the other car's lane as he drove by me....phewwwwww.

Me too.

But dinner was good anyway.

[Bedlam]

Looks like another great meet Harvey! Some cool new cars there this time too! Funny about the police...I'm sure ANY large group of imports is prepping to race..what else is there for us to do? Gotta empty that NAAAWWS bottle somehow right?

-Bedlam

[STIBungy]

Justin, if you had HID, I woulda noticed you flashing the brights on me :p

I did notice the flashes but figured it was just the change in slope causing it.

[HONDA GHANDI]

yeah you damn Non HID owner. ;)

[celica man]

damn.....wish i could have made it.....i was down in pueblo pretty late......maybe next time.

[SpeedStar91]

Geeeezus Weston your teg is crazy fast. I thought I was going to get whipplash when you slammed on the brakes. haha. Anyhow it was good seeing you guys again. There were a lot of nice rides there, most definitely.

[Slava]

The first time I miss the meet and all this cool stuff happens. I'll be there for the next one.

[stu]

I was getting ready to go, but two things happened.
1) Jess took way too long to get to my house, she showed up at almost 8:00pm
2) All the people I called who were there (Tobi and Alex) didn't answer their phones. I called Leo too, but he was at work. :(

[chris_venturini]

if theres anything ive learned in life its that you can always count on women to make you late everywhere. In fact, i think thats the only thing in life that im sure of.
Now i know women are going to get upset by this, but its true and you know it. Theres always something they forgot, or their hair, makeup, cant find purse, keys, camera, the list goes on.

That was you?? LoL...I saw that one coming, luckily no one on the cross street was too close so you managed to avoid disaster.

I was in the supra behind you....



-Chris-

[-=[Juztin]=-]

It was a sobering though when we driving back down the mountain and seeing all the sand and ice farther up. Especialy since we were hauling it all the way up just before hehehe :)

[STIBungy]

Yeah, that was me. :(

I told Alex, my co-pilot, that I saw the stop sign for a split second and for some reason it didnt register in time.

Overall, it was a good time. We took it easy on the way down the mtn. There were alot of slower cars in front of us so they kept us in check.

What was he driving? Chevy/GM midsize pickup? If so he gave me an earful as well.

I was under my hood chasing a boost leak and missed the departure. Met up w/everyone in Ned though.

Figures that my car lets me down the day of the meet. Still no word on what doesn't hold pressure.

Andy

[stu]

What was this guy yelling at you guys for? And also, who was he to be yelling at you in the first place?

[Weston-work]

We attracted some attention on the way up the mountain (ie the cops were called on us by several different people). I think I may have had something to do with it. :rofl:

[BluByU]

Well we backtracked because we thought something happened to Justin and Chris. We thought we saw his car at the fire station or whatever that building with the people standing around with their noses up our ass so we stopped and asked if they saw a nissan Z pass by. (like joe 6 tooth knows what the hell that is) and he goes "NO, I WOULDN'T ADVISE RACING THE CANYON FELLAS, TROOPERS ARE NOW LOOKING FOR YOU" So hung dropped the clutch on the way back, then revved on them on the way out. But on the plus side I've been working on my british accent so I can accuratley give directions in a split second so me and Hung will be unstoppable! Sweeping right, medium left, stop sign, stop sign, redneck, stop sign! J/K Hung, YOU MY BOY!

[STIBungy]

LOL that was alot of fun. DAmmit Alex, you didnt tell me about the stop sign!!! LOL
