We had a great time. It was good to see some familiar faces as well as meet some new like minded enthusiasts.

Great turn out for this event. We had 36 cars, and the weather was perfect!
Thanks to all that ignored the weather forecast.
Nice pics guys!
John S posted some great pics from the day on rennlist, region section - check them out!
Quote of the day "Officer, I did not realize I needed a current registration in this state"
We are a close group - did anyone stop to help Bucks' brother? Noooooooooo!!!!!!!

Anyone making the trek to Lime Rock for the vintage auto fest?
It would be great to get some cars together.

lime rock this weekend...

Since it happens on my Birthday weekend, I'm there more years than not!

We'll be there again this weekend and we'll be in a P-car. The kicker is, it'll be a large four-door SUV with a V8 under the hood.

I wish we were taking the sports car but we're camping for the weekend and need space for all the crap.

Let me know if there is going to be a group. I could perhaps carry some essentials for the older cars.

Anyone planning on going to Porsche Fest @ the Larz Anderson museum in Brookline Saturday 9/06/08? Unless saturday morning brings a complete washout, I am planning on heading up (albeit in a Mazda hatchback, not the 911...sigh).

Let me know if you are going to be attending...

I'll be there helping out with the admin of it. Keep a lookout on the PCA website though. There may be a weather cancellation.

All set with reservations. Unfortunantly I doubt I'll have the Carrera's front wheels back. So Lisa and I may come up in her new C70 hardtop convertable, a beautiful car.

Look forward to seeing you guys. I knew you were having some issues with your wheels, will be good to have that resolved. We have a few cars from Southeastern, Ma. area driving out together Fri. afternoon. once we get out near Springfield we will head off Pike and take some fun roads the rest of the way hoping to meet John F. along the way. I expect we will hit Lee, Ma around 5:30, 6:00. I'll give you a call when we get in.
I know Steve H, Tim G. and a few others will be making the run up Sat. morning, and meeting us in Lime Rock.
Paul

if it doesn't rain, I may be able to come, if you'll accept a motorbike, that is.

Paul,
We can meet you guys around Springfield as well. We'll stay in the back of the pack , but would be nice to see how this things handles. Will call late next week and see what we can come up with.

That was a great time! Thanks to Frank for his outstanding hospitality and to Paul for organizing the event, it couldn't have been better. 20 cars and drivers showed up....and there were some spectacular cars.

Pictures don't seem to be loading, I'll try to post them again later.

Boy wasn't it. Jim wanna do a separate Steve McQueen 911 thread so the southerners, midwesterners and left coasters, (and the rest of the world ), can enjoy them also? I have some descent pictures from the day but you are the man I hear!
