Houston's MaydayGarage x SpeedHunters Miata Meet Pictures!
 
Last wednesday, we threw a last minute Mazda Miata Meeting for our good friend Linhbergh while he was here in town. Here's the turnout:

I am skeptical that your first post is merely an advertisement for your business. Those pictures all suck from you trying too hard to make them "professional". Next time, just leave your camera on AUTO and try not to use the zoom so much. And if you intend to be here through the end of the day, how about a proper introduction post in the Meet&Greet forum so we know you're not here on an agenda

I don't run a business at all. I am a part of a non profit blog that caters to cars in Texas, and on that blog, there are zero advertisements.

Lol, that's the worst advice i've ever seen about taking pictures. No seriously, this shows how much you know about photography. Zoom? We only used primes for this meet, LOL. Thanks though. You can always look me up on other forums using the same Username.

So who the hell is Linhbergh and why should we care?

SpasticDwarf 03-29-2011 01:07 PM

I registered just to +rep MayDay and to ask two things:

A) Was the photo critique for real?
B) Do you really not know who Linhbergh is?

Not here to troll... but genuinely surprised by the lack of support for someone who posts up a Miata meet they put together. One hell of a community you have here.

I believe I've heard the name. But obviously as I asked... I do not know who he is. Is it that hard to read what I wrote? Guessing he is one of the Clubricer folks?

SpasticDwarf 03-29-2011 01:12 PM

He's one of the forum members who was convicted of manslaughter back in '92. He's been out for about 5 months now and came to TX to visit, so the miata meet was thrown. He's a big fan.

Of course, David.

Splitime:

He had one back when the first gens came out. I don't remember what model it was.
He's had an internet connection from jail for quite some time (low security deal, whatever it's called) and so we would hear a peep from him on the boards once every month or so.

BrotaryBrojangles 03-29-2011 01:21 PM

Jesus christ
Whats so hard about viewing pictures and liking them. No need for the nonsense samnavy.
Click thread, view, enjoy, jerk off to internet porn, profit
If you didn't do one of those things listed you hate freedom and are probably a terrorist.

Hell Linhbergh fucked her!!!

If you are going to tell me she is some famous Nickelodeon teen star, yippie for you, but I'm not much into pop stars.

No baby, I was kidding about you trying on the harness bar wrap. I would never want you to do that. I mean, unless you want to.....do you want to....because if you did, I would totally.......

samnavy 03-29-2011 10:29 PM

Tell you what David, give me a couple good posts per week here over the next couple of months and I'll wear an "I love Texas" shirt to my next terrorist meeting.

sam sorry to say this but STFU. The original poster is not out to make money on this.

They guy they are referring to does take more photos of KINOD type ricer clubroadster miata but he was nice enough when I met him. (I didnt know who he was before either).

If you have a problem with any of the cars in the photos most are from the Houston Miata club, and are my friends, and I can tell you they are mostly raced be it autox, or track.

How's that for a couple of post counts per weeks.

miatauser884 03-29-2011 10:47 PM

WOW, I hope my post didn't get in the middle of whatever the heck is going on here. I just found the picture of the hooker boot rollbar pad, and then the chick with the sour face. Thought I would make a funny :makeout:

You've already provided me enough entertainment.

In the end, my "agenda" was to show off the Houston Miata community to the world. Yes, the world. When Linhbergh asked me to put together a meet, I knew this would be good for our Houston tuner scene, as SpeedHunters is an international blog, and generates millions of hits on the internet. They are right behind AutoBlog and Jalopnik on the blogosphere.

When I posted the pictures we took on here, my intention was just to share photos of the meet, nothing more. I was not trying to sell anything to anyone. But when I am met with hostility in a car forum that caters to the very same cars I want to showcase, that's definitely disappointing. I definitely don't mind photo critique, as I'm not very good at taking photos, but to say, "Those pictures all suck from you trying too hard to make them 'professional'", that's not a very constructive.

But like i've said, you've already provided me enough entertainment, and it should be ME thanking you for such jollies. After posting up your post on the MaydayGarage Facebook, it's apparent I'm not the only one who feels that you don't know what you're talking about.

I thank you- 7,681 times. :giggle:

The Internet: Serious Business. :vash:

MT.net is about function over form (in general). Stylized pictures are just not what this place is about.
Most of us don't know/care about the houston miata club or what your cars look like. Nothing against you or your clan, but we just don't care. Hell, you didn't even make a newb thread.

Akuma_J 03-30-2011 12:16 AM

"Sorry for posting pictures relevant to your interest?"

Bryce 03-30-2011 12:19 AM

I find it interesting how differently this thread went compared to another thread with similar pictures of the same event simply because it was started by a reputable member here.

turotufas 03-30-2011 12:38 AM

I must say that your Facebook fans were e-thuggin' harder than anyone. But we'll get through this. :cry:

So, the guy got out of jail 5ish months ago? Was he let out of jail for a while to interview "Smoky" Nagata? Here is an article where Linhbergh interviewed Nagata back in April of 2010, 11 months ago. I thought he was in the slammer?

spoolin2bars 04-08-2011 03:07 AM

well i certainly appreciate the interest, meet, pictures, etc... i had a great time hangin' with everyone and hope to see a few of the houston peeps at our miata challenge event at harris hill road in june. don't worry about the hatin', that's how everyone (new) gets greeted around here. it usually weeds out the pussy's. you ain't pussy's are ya? lol j/k... but really, they know of speedhunters, or should. a year or so back they featured one of the mt.net track gods "savington" and i think helped get him a spot in the super lap battle which was invitation only. anywho, love the pics, don't let these guys discourage you from livin' your dream. or coming back for that matter!
