Winona spotting

rst95eclipse · 06-26-2006

Normally I don't post cars that I spot. However, I had to take a road trip to Winona for work and I noticed this beautiful 92-94 Talon AWD pass me as I'm about to pull into traffic. It was that main highway that takes you from St. Mary's to the VoTech on the other side of town. It was red, just immacculate. Big front mount and stainless exhaust. I wanted to pull him over and give him props, but road construction was everywhere. If you know this man, or if you yourself are a member, I just want to say............nice aviator shades.

Speaking of Winona...I took a cruise down there on Saturday with my S2000 group and Hwy 14 west out of Winona through the bluffs is by far the most fun road I have ever driven on. I was holding triple digit speeds and I swear I could do that all day and never get bored!

You did 100+ in those twisties? I'm calling BS.

If I'm remembering correctly from a couple of years ago, that strip outside of Winona on 14 is where a guy got a speeding ticket on a motorcycle for 180mph or some crazy shit like that.

Call BS all you want; I was there, you weren't.

Are you refering to the RC51 that was supposidly doing 205 or something stupid like that?

10-4.

That was later found to be bs since the bike wasnt capable of those speeds. The pilot that "clocked" him used the method of counting the number of mile markers he passed over a given amount of time. Very unaccurate at those speeds.

I can pretty much gaurantee it was Jed. He has a really nice red 1g.

And about doing 100+ up HWY 14 over stockton hill is very possible. I've done it in my GST and many of my friends have done it in their cars. Its a fun road to rally on. From Winona to Lewiston is a very fun drive.

This is probably why Jakey said 180 since thats what the bike was capable of, not 205.

You had me wondering if it was me until you said Aviator's.

That's me. Thanks for the compliments. Next time you're in town let me know we'll grab lunch or a beer or both.

Oh, and it's a 91.

munster000 · 06-27-2006

Hey who has the black 2g talon with the fmic that was parked off 61 in goodview by the sign shop

rst95eclipse · 07-23-2006

I don't know if we were talking about the same stretch of road. I'm talking about the hilly terrain between U of St. Mary's and Stockton. Not from Stockton to Lewiston. Same or different?

EclipseGST · 07-25-2006

That would be me. Just started working there and decided to drive the car back and forth. Really isnt that bad of a daily driver.

Yes, I was talking about between Winona (SMU) and stockton.

Today i saw a nice blue 1g with white door handles at the quick trip by green mill, and on friday i saw a red 1g with lettering on the top of the windsheild at green mill. Also there was a silver/champagne colored 1g with a evo style cf hood sitting across the dorms from wsu by the park. never seen these cars in town before. is this anyone here or does anyone know them?
