Just in case you were coming to see the F-40, I was just told that he would have the car there around 9:30 and leave around 2:30 Des if you come down I will get you a ride in the f-40, it will be worth hit to read your description of the ride later on F-chat | ||

I'll probably stop by the club around 5:30 or 6:00 PM to see who is hanging around. I would like to see what everyone thinks of the car. The Azzuro color is truly something that must be seen to be appreciated. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the other cars that will be there. | ||

The turn looks pretty good for this Get Together, but there is plenty of room for more, I don't think we have more than 1(Eli) from the NY crew and not a person from MD or De. Even if you are just coming to Bull-S__t about your cars come on out. The guys on the West Coast get 40 cars at the drop of a hat, let's see if we can't geta good size turnout (Cheerleader mode off) | ||

Shorts are fine , there really is no dress code just no jeans if you are playing golf. The club really doesn't have any rules! A good dress code story -a few years back when a certain casiono owner was married to Miss Maples I got a call about whether it was ok for Marla to play golf in a loose tank top , not only was it ok but it should have been mandatory !! She is a knock out | ||

I'm looking forward to the trip. I won't be around very much until Monday. Just finished the 1st of a 3 day race weekend. Things haven't gone well to say the least. Exhaust broke in two, cracked a rotor, and fuel filter clogged. Hopefully tomorrow goes better, just a typical day of racing. BTW, my Rx7, not the Challenge! I went to "dust" off the golf clubs and couldn't find them, all kinds of growths and rust had hid them, dust would of been eazy.  | ||

What do i do...? 270 balls don't lie, my shot with a club is definitely off; i don't want to be stuck driving with a 5 iron for the rest of my life...! Vernon, how the bleep is your neighbor bringing all four cars...? Does he need a spare driver...? i doubt i can make this, but i'd like to try to show up for the day to meet all of you nice folks; maybe get some driving range pointers while i'm a it... | ||

Sounds like Rob's worried he might not have anyplace to sleep when he gets to AC. Hehe. About the only golf I've ever played is on a driving range and I don't have any golf shoes. Although to play on such a prestigous course is tempting. Sounds like it's all coming together. | ||

Sounding really good, I appreciate it! Would you recomend slacks or dress shorts for the golf? All courses in America require the soft spikes now too, right? Back in the old days when I played golf we all used metal spikes. Vernon, should I call the hotel yet for my reservation? | ||
| Vernon Hill (Vwh3rd)
Junior Member Username: Vwh3rd Post Number: 107 Registered: 1-2003 |
The scheduele is very loose, if it works for everyone I think we should have the golf start sometime around 11:00(very flexible) I was thinking that the later we start things the more time it allows for anyone coming from NY The dress code is No jeans on the course but if you are just there to hang out with the cars and food you are OK. The costs are as follows Golf $88 (carts $25, drink station $8, golf $50) Food and booze -To be Determined Rob's Golf and food bill is on Me For anyone planning on spending the weekend, you can play anytime you want and as much as you want Rob I am in for Friday | ||

Vernon - if you could post the times you would like the golf festivitives to start and the particulars (cost, dress codes etc etc) it would be great. The plan is after golf to head over to AC for some fun. I beleive Vernon has some rooms blocked out at Ceasers for Fri and Sat. Lets get a confirmed count of people, in the old threads it looked like we had over 20 people, if you are bringing a friend please state so. Lets make this a great event and show Rob a good time. It is his hard work that makes this website what it is. |
