oooooh... Evil Thoughts... Linda has a conference to attend, so Mikey & I could probably go...

Actually, I'm off in about 15 minutes to go from Norton to Sandwich to look over some new Xerox copiers for work. Yes, I have the top down.

Guy told me it's across from some Ice Cream place on 6A about a mile after the Sagamore. After attending the Cape Run in October, I was like, "Hey, I know where that is..."

I need to get a Life!

My name is Paul, I am a Porsh-a-holic. I have no life, my work is suffering, my love life sucks, and my wife thinks I'm nuts. The only hope I have is I see my friends around me with the same disease. I think they are taking me down with them.
However, saying that, I may need to play again this weekend. Perhaps an early start, skip lunch ,etc.
Oh God , I'm sinking fast!

In college we used to call these " suitcase sunrises". Now the drinking is replaced with Cam2 gas fumes and early morning coffee runs. Earlier the better boyz - an all driving experience and bag the lunch. All in favor, put your hand up. I'm in, do I hear #2? At least this time maybe the cars will actually be driven hard enough that something will break.....nothing like a roadside repair to keep things interesting. Seriously Paul, your oil temperature has got to reach over 170 on one of these runs! Practice makes perfect.

So that makes 3 drivers......................surely there are others that would be looking for an excuse NOT to go to Home Depot with a " honey do" list.

Tentatively in, will confirm schedule tonight.

Was pretty nice today, about 60 deg. & partly sunny. Made for a nice 100 mile ride... especially since I got mileage for it too.

From the look of it, it'll be near freezing Sat. AM, will have rained Friday.

I'm out of town until Friday night and finishing up the Carrera Saturday morning. I certainly would love to join you guys but couldn't til Sunday morning. I can make it as early as you decide then. Would certainly enjoy meeting a few fellow Pelicans.

I hope you guys are doing these trips next season. This thread is just the motivation I need to finish up my projects and get back on the road. Looks like a great idea

Jim,
Weather is looking perhaps iffy for Sun. AM, snow showers.
Hows Sat. looking for people. Is 7:00 to early to meet? Many of us would have to leave our homes around 6:00, I don't have a problem with that if others don't We could do the same route, or head south towards Westport, maybe meet up with some of the Westport guys and grab breakfast. I know Don Plant mentioned he does early breakfasts with a gang down there.
Paul

The Breakfast Club actually EAT breakfast? (Ducks as a pig flys by...)

I don't have a problem with a 6am departure from home at all Paul. Just remember that anyone with Silica-based tires is going to find it very slippery if it's cold like that early on. Don't want any tales about tails coming around.

Breakfast sounds good to me also, at least a cup of Joe & a muffin.

if we go early to Westport for brkfst, will there be free beer served? maybe someone who has a bunch of free tix can pass some around for the gang? ;-) (I probably should not poke here as this is not my joke...just another history channel segway) just joshing all here...
I hope the run happens... early is way better for me.

I wish I could, I just moved to CT this summer and have been feeling out of the Porsche loop since leaving a really active Porsche community outside DC. The next few months are booked, maybe this spring...

Have Fun.

Sunrise Run / SEMBC

We are going to do a early run this Sat, the 17th. It will be a modified version of the run last Sun.
Starting point will be the same, Berkley, Ma.. We are going to meet at 7:00 AM, going to make it no frills drive, no organized lunch, etc. Hope you guys need another fix!
Great to see that there is alot of new interest in our runs. We will keep this Thread going and will announce future runs here.
Paul

Hmmm... Seems like these Ferraris are attracted to Jim. I remember a ride out west, except Jim was behind that Ferrari.

Sounds good Paul. I've been following the thread for awhile but the timing hasn't been good.

That was fun. The problem with these damn Ferraris is that they are so wide it's almost impossible to get around them.

I don't think that I can make it Saturday morning guys - have fun.
