Reader Submitted: Pony Drivers of SL

 

Great article on the SL Grid Drive.  Enjoyed reading that.  Here is a recent bit from my drive adventures.  Unfortunately I don't have the photos to back this up. Just for your info.

Typically I do the Grid Drive a little later than the group start on Saturday after the Giant Snail races are done. I do it on my own but I see all sorts of other drivers out then. Some I might pass as I am usually pretty speedy. Others might pass me or I might keep seeing them at the stops along the way.

Most weeks, usually at a stop somewhere along the way I'll find the place will packed with what I call the "My Little Pony gang." Last week I arrived at a little outdoor bar where the Nav HUD said we were to sit. There were only about 3 or 4 seats. The ponies were all hippity-hopping and surrounding me on all sides. Must have been 10 or 15 or more, all madly gesturing funny noises and stuff as we approached the bar. Totally mobbed by ponies. They were taking turns on the seats. I decided just to ground sit amongst them which also triggered the HUD to move to the next part. A hilarious crazy few minutes there.

As I pulled out of the parking lot in my sports car. I noticed a bus pull up and sure enough all the ponies were riding that day on a big charter bus and were all hopping back on as I left.  Heh heh.

 

So funny, sure brightens your day when you run into something like that.

Drivers of SL

 

Sometimes when driving, you just want to get where you're going. And sometimes it's the journey itself that's more important, listening to the radio, and taking in the scenery. And on occasion, there's no particular destination, except maybe back home, eventually, the journey made just to see new things and new places. If this is something you like doing, there's a group for you, the "Drivers of SL." The Newser interviewed a few people behind this large group of people here in Second Life.

Read the story in People.

From Zada Bury on June 10, "Bonus Leg after the 'regular' Grid Drive - a round on the 'RFL - Relay For Life.' ... This kind of 'Bonus Leg' was happening after the regular drive. It was gone over the 'RFL - Relay For Life' Event with a large number of Sims. I wasn't have that much time left, so I was done a fast round. Even while these fast (running) run, I seen a lot awesome builds around, which would have been worth a closer visit, but, 'that is life', you can say, even in SL I get in trouble with having 'too less time' for all.

"Check out the SL-Newser and other Bloggers, which have more file footage about this event."

Cartoon of the Day: Tide Racecar

 

 

 Taken near a "Drivers of SL" HQ. Someone was showing off his Tide racecar. Besides racing, I could think of one other thing it might come in handy for.
