I know that this is a ways off, but on June 1st, the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum around Boston is sponsoring a lawn event for Italian cars--"Tutto Italiano". |

Tom,
There is virtually zero "sand and salt and frost heaves and pothole" on the major highways. The drive to Portsmouth and hampton Beach has wonderful sweeping turns and elevation changes. Hope to meet you on the roads when you feel it is more appropriate to drive a car.
Enjoy the Drive,
Steven R. Rochlin

Guys... I'm glad you had a good time, but with all due respect, I would never bring my car out this early. I live just west of 495 and have 2 ft of snow in my yard and with all of the sand and salt and frost heaves and potholes, I won't risk damaging my car. For example, I flatbedded my car to IFS to get serviced last week. Just won't drivew it now. See you all after the Spring rains wash all this crap away. |

Well... You guys really missed a great day. Drove to Portsmouth for delcious seafood and good atmosphere. The ride up was wonderful with little traffic and (dream sequence) my car SEEMED (wink wink) to hit 135mph when there was no traffic around. After a great meal and some fun shopping went to Hampton Beach.
While driving there two 20'ish gals in the car next to me felt the need to show me their, well... upper beauty. It was quite nice and sorry i did not have my camera ready. Will remember to keep it more handy in the car next time.
The drive back home was filled with more joy, briefly interrupted by a police car with instant on. Naturally the Valentine 1 knew this with PLENTY of time to spare as he was trying to tag people far ahead of me before it was my turn. Stopped into a gas station to the glee of a few 20'ish guys who ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the car. Gave them the quarter tour of course.
What REALLY matters was the fun in getting out there and driving approximately 250 miles today. The weather was great, the roads were relatively clear and tomorrow should be better still! Probably only do 100 miles tomorrow though, one of my gals has been asking for a ride.

I apologize for the delay. Out of the office a good part of last week.
Have family visiting this weekend, no time. I leave for a week next Saturday.
Perhaps April. Meet in a central location for all. Perhaps north and west of the city. We can finalize if there is sufficient interest.
Regarding the Pru tunnel. Fun early AM, 5:00~6:00 or late evening when the traffic subsides. Careful though, Boston's finest have a limited sense of humor. |

Well, as no one else seems to be deciding and as a business owner... Here we go:
Saturday at the Nashua Pheasant Lane Mall. The rear of the mall is a Sears Automotive and we can meet there in their automotive parking lot. Good ol' Sears has MANY security cameras covering the area :-) . So...
Nashua Pheasant Lane Mall
Sear Automotive
12pm SHARP
Agreed? Please chime in yes or no. A most humble thanks.

In the end... just name the place already. Let's get something SOLID going guys. My vote is for the Nashua (or Manchester) mall in NH. We can save meeting at my place for later in the year when the MANY MANY MANY driving roads here are more optimum.
Enjoy the Drive,

I am in Newton. I planning business trip to Europe, so like to see if some of us can get together before I leave. I would like to hear my 360 Tubi going thru Pru tunnel if possiable. Any other requests are welcome.

Hi,
i live near Nashua, NH. Maybe we can meetup at the Nashua Mall or ??? Just detailed my car so it needs to get dirty again :-) Enzo wanted his cars raced and driven. No use having it sitting here all clean and no where to go...
Enjoy the Drive,

Do not know your locations. I am app. 20 miles north of Boston. Between the salt, sand and potholes the area roads beat the crap out of an SUV, let alone a Ferrari.
April would be better for me. Please let me know if a later gathering is planned.
