did u paste it in as a link from a website or a pic from your computer? sometimes links change but if u add it to the thread as a picture file from ur computer it should work better. either way, people will see it for the time being and decide if they want to go. thanks KEL for the posting the poster

Hmmmz , I'll see if I'll go , but I think I have to bring my girlfriend along 8/ , no picking up models at this event *sigh* 8/


If I go , I'll bring my friend's too , so I don't look like a loner :p , if you see a yellow rx-8 , and a grey twin turbo 300z and orange/yellowish twin turbo 300z and a blue STI and my bud'z black FD , thats me , I'll try to get X28 (winning blue ) to go too , he called me today and asked if I could chill.

Looks like we got a big meeting :p
