Zilla takes GT500 by a nose!

Post by 2000Silverbullet »

Bill, John and I went out for Mexican dinner tonight as the end of our Spring Break West Coast Bonneville Mini Meet draws to a close.

It's been a fantastic long weekend of Gearhead fun! :banana: :banana: :banana:


So we meet up with the hood vented enemy! :twisted:

I'm driving with John in the passenger seat and Bill relegated to the back seat due to his over-imbibing of ale for dinner. :twisted:

We would have gained a bit more but the curb got in the way. :laughing3:
