Oh, that looks like fun. I notice there is no plate on this new ride - are we registered this time?
Can't wait to see the new ride and here about track run.
regards,
Paul

Jack, sorry you can't make it. See you next time.

I like your new car, it's amazing what they will do on the track isn't it?

I hope to find out someday.
See you guys in the AM. Hope we're all shined up, can't let those prancing horses show us up

Maybe this spring I'll be able to make one of these drives Mark. Was in Griswold, CT today picking up this little gem for the S restoration.

Shaun, you are the man for restoring these old gems.
I'd be game to make the drive out to Cambridge some weekend day you will be working just to check out your project and buy/bring you a cold one.

You guys kill me with the "prancing horses" slant... check your own hood badge Mark.

Sorry I killed off the phone last night Mark. I was WIPED after a day on the ocean. We had 5-7 foot waves & skipper didn't like the idea of trying to make it outside. Watched a few grown men heave.

I'm putting the top up this morning guys, I'm still chilled from yesterday on the water & don't want a touch of Pneumonia or anything. We'll see about top-down later after the sun comes out.

I'm heading out the door shortly & will see you guys in Franklin.

Prancing Horses and Flat Sixers

We had a great run yesterday with about 15 P-Cars out to Quabbin Reservoir.
Thanks to Ed and Sandy for hosting our motley crew and a Ferrari group for a wonderful lunch at their Autumn View Farm.
Below are some few pics that Aynsley took of the event.

I hope you can. They are really fun. Paul does an awesome job making the arrangments and the roads are always twisty. I live like 10 minutes from Griswold. Next time give me a shout and we'll have a beer.

Are you serious? Hell, I'll drive down and take you to dinner sometime, it's not that far.

I just got in my Flying Lizard knit cap this week, just in time. It was 27 degrees this morning when I left for work...

No Auto-X for me right now. Have some house & yardwork I've got to attend to. Mark knows, I can't keep being "that guy" in the neighborhood.

Being "that guy" is a terrible thing Fred. I've heard your neighbors rumbling. If you need any help I have experience mowing a lawn... Here's part of mine.
I get more seat time on my damn lawn tractor than I do the Carrera
But it is air-cooled

I'll be at the autocross to help Ron set up the course, but I may not race.
