Calling all Insights!! :shock: Everyone is welcome & invited to show up at noon Sunday at Wal-Mart in San Leandro. 2 newspaper writers have phoned me back and confirmed their attendance. Bring a folding chair and a camera. (someone can digital photo for posting to this sight)
I have arrived in Placerville to stay @ my brother's house. From Seattle to here it was 774 miles and I averaged 93.7 mpg. I was sitting on 98.4 mpg until the Siskiyou mtns and other hills, and I just could not recover the loss. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting many of you nice folks! See ya, Billy........

 

[Billy]

Yeah, we hope Rodney got the day off Sunday. Ed and a friend from his work who recently purchased an Insight will be coming from Sacramento. It should be a great time.....Billy....

Billy
I won't be able to make the meeting this weekend because we are going to be in the San Diego area next weekend. Congradulations on your 93.7. Is that a personal best? I'm also at 93.7 on my current tank but only after 350 miles, we will see what it is after another 500 miles. I will be interested to hear what your milage is on the return trip. Have fun at the meet, I wish I could be there. Louis

 

[Billy]

Yes, it is a personal best for a trip of that length. It would have been nice to have someone all the way from Phoenix. But have a great time in San Diego. Billy.....

Hey Bill, just a little to far to travel, and take the time off work. Wish I could be there.

Wow! Is that a record for the most Insights in one place at the same time?

 

[Rick]

This is the largest I've been able to find:

Note, this is not this specific meet, that was just to answer Christians question.

 

[Insight Driver]

I was there.. had a good time. I appreciated meeting so many other Insight owners.. We certainly have a good community of people.

Cool, we made the news. http://www.sanmateocountytimes.com/Stor ... 58,00.html

In the print version of the paper, the second image (hybrid2.jpg) that I posted a link to above was part of the article.

Exelent Story,
Funny, i don't often see people from all around driving 600 miles to a Hummer Rally.

I love my Silver insight, but i have to admit there is a guy who lives near me, Who has a sweet looking funky yellow green one.

It's because they can't.

 

[Braxus]

Ah couldn't make it. [email protected]$#%@# Ah well next time!

Say just wondering...

on the hybrid1.jpg pic, the guy that's on the far right (glasses/blue/green/yellow shirt)... Work in San Jose (Semi)? Think we may have talked while on the road a few weeks back if so. Face looks familiar.

So when's the next gathering

I didn't even know about this forum until after the San Leandro gathering two weeks ago. There was an item about this culled by the Bay Area Transportation News ( BATN ). After owning an Insight for over two years it would be fun to share experiences with others. And I've got a real sharp digital camera which can also be a mini videocam for pic's and flicks. So I'm looking forward to the next one!
