    A few of us here in CT are looking to establish a kind of ongoing gathering. The present concensus is to do it Sunday Mornings at the Rocky Hill Starbucks on route 3. It seems to be centrally located and relatively easy to access. Some will be earlier arrivals and some later. I, being of the later variety, expect to arrive somewhere around 8:30 or 9 but some may be in and out before 8. It will start when you arrive and be over when you decide to leave. Some days may find us planning or executing a cruise, others just saying hi over a cup of joe, but all immersed in the fun of shared enthusiasm for cool cars. Anyone is welcome with any particular ride. I'd love to see Matt's healy and Craig's Noble is stuck in my minds eye. Weather will always have an impact regarding your decision to go or what car to take and there's no guarrantee anyone will be there, thats understood. The purpose of this thread will be to establish a centralized location to post your intentions.

    In the words of the immortal Bob (of Bobs furniture) "Come on down"

    I should be there tomorrow morning. I'll have to be out by 9:30 to make a family thing. Thanks for keeping on this Lane. I've been dying to drive my 348 - so maybe I'll bring the Healey next time.

    Unfortunately, I can't make it this week, guys. I have to pick my wife up at the airport Sunday morning. Will try for next week though. Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing your cars too.

    Five Ferrari's, Five Ducati's, a Mercedes, and 11 very cool people. Nice to meet the new faces. Thanks to all for coming. I'm already looking forward to next Sunday. Fingers are crossed for good weather. Of course I forgot my camera. Jay, Jess, or anyone not as forgetful as I please post your shots.

    Awesome time last Sunday.... hoping to make it this week as well (but I have a wedding to go to Sat. night, so who knows what Sunday morning will bring).
