    Every Sunday at some point between 8:00am and 12:00pm a group of 2 wheel and 4 wheel sporting enthusiasts meet behind the Starbucks in Glastonbury Connecticut to shoot the breeze, plan trips, tours, cruises, trade secrets, advise, and generally say hello. On occasion our numbers have exceeded 30 cars and 20 bikes. 2010 was a fantastic year where 5 tours were planned and enjoyed including a few trips to Limerock, the AVF polo grounds, and Foxwoods. It seems each Sunday brings a new face added to our ranks

    Please note that we are a group of friends that appreciate and respect each other and the machines we adore. In addition, we respect the venue we meet in. Expect a very low tolerance for silly actions in and around our gathering. That being said, please feel free to stop in. Invitations are not required as ALL are welcome.

    Hope everyone in "The Gathering" has a happy and healthy New Year.
    Lane.... Thanks for all your efforts in starting and continuing the meets.
    Hopefully the front moves through tonight and we can kick off the new year with a few F-Cars in the morning.

    I just can't make the call to insurance to suspend it for the winter...had her out today for the first drive of 2011, love this warm weather! I'm seeing showers forecast tomorrow unfortunately.

    After much procrastinating, I made the call to ins co today, the 430 is done until spring.

    Happy New Year to all my friends. I hope 2011 is a better year for me on multiple fronts.

    My thoughts exactly... let's hope for an early spring like 2010. I can't go get the 308 from NH until the roads are clean and I'm hoping that doesn't turn out to be April.

    I'm late to the new thread! Can't wait for this year! I hope it is full of good times like last year and that we get as much seat time as possible in the cars. Happy New Year everyone! Oh, I'm keeping the insurance on all year and keeping her in a drive ready state just in case we have some good dry winter days.

    Hey Mike.. Just do it!! I took the 308 to work today. Roads are clean, cold and dry, and she's breathing good cold dense air. Feels great.

    Great to hear Phil!

    This Friday is DJ Mike's 'going away party' before he flies down under potentially for good. They're playing at Murphy's in Farmington, I'll be there...anyone else interested?

    Guys check out Chartis Insurance, you can access it through the Barrett Jackson website. I used to do the same with my insurance then I got a quote form them and I only pay $500 a year for full coverage. So that way I dont have to cancel the insurance every year and reinstate it.

    Lane - I don't think it's all ages...but you should be old enough to get in no problem.
    Mike - show seems to start at 10, I'll prob go for 9-ish.
    For those who haven't been, Murphy's is a VERY fun spot and Vivid puts on a great show!

    The day before Christmas I was fumbling around the kitchen being in the way....because that's what I do best. The Wife says "If your going to hang around, make yourself useful, roll out that dough and make the gingerbread cookies". She handed me a box containing various cookie cutters, sprinkles, jimmies, and some tubes of frosting and told me to "knock myself out".


    Sheesh....What could she possibly have been thinking? You would think we just met or something.

    Lane, why do I have visions of everyone licking the frosting off your cookies.

    Hi guys. I was going to bring the Ferrari the day after Christmas but it started snowing before I left the house. I did take a picture of the 328 dressed for the occassion. As for the cookies, Jay you didn't miss anything. I heard they had hair in them. Finally is anyone going tomorrow? I wasn't planning on it but my wife asked me to pick something up in Manchester on my way home from coffee. I hate disappointing Mrs. Falcon.

    ewwww....hair in there? :(

    I'll be there tomorrow, bringing a rough draft print out of the calendar. Don't be scared by the poor quality...I had to pdf it, then from a 'printscreen' image print the file individually. If anybody wants one, check in over in my 2011 Calendar thread, placing the order mid next week. Here's a sample of July just for fun :D
