Meet this sunday

What time and where? I may have to see a client Sunday. Not sure of my schedule.

 

If you come down the shore, I might be up for taking my E-Type out...have to check my schedule, but I think I am opened.

 

Where were you thinking of meeting ?

 

I plan on firing mine up today and if all is well I would be interested. It just depends on where. I am in Northwest Jersey.

 

Guys,

Getting the cars out tomorrow sounds like a great idea. I just spoke to John Vogt, owner of High Marques, and he is happy to have us start a drive at his place. So let's meet there at 9 am and leave by 9:30 for a drive. The address is:

169 Washington Street
Morristown, NJ

This is just west of the Green in Morristown on Route 24.

Pls let me know if you plan to attend as we'll get a few refreshments and would like a count. See you tomorrow.

I fired up the E-Type today...fun ride.

 

Kirk,

How far are you planning on taking the ride?

Mike.

 

Unfortunately, I'm not a Ferrari owner, but I would LOVE to join someone as a co-pilot for this small "rally" tomorrow morning. Better yet, if you have multiple Ferraris, I would be happy to "rent" one of them from you for the drive, hahhaha. Seriously though, if any of you kind, generous Ferrari owners would be nice enough to let a 28yrs old, tifosi, join you for the drive tomorrow, I would gladly pay for gas or whatever you need (within reason). Thanks for your time and feel free to email me, [email protected] or PM me. Grazie mille! Ciao!

 

I was thinking about driving around for a couple of hours at most. I thought we would just play follow-the-leader. This time I don't have a specific route planned. We can discuss it as a group and see if we want to end up some place for lunch, for example. Just a reason to get the cars out on the road, really -- not a formal rally with a defined route per se. I hope you can make it.

Fired up my 308 today and took it for a little spin and she is fine!!! I will be there tomorrow barring unforseen circumstances. I don't know if I will be there for the whole drive, but it will be nice to meet you guys.

Mike

 

it's 8:45am & the wife/co-pilot just got up, so I'm out

But def. keep your eyes open as I'll have the 308 out & about all day today.
It's just too nice to stay indoors.

 

I was at Captree earlier this AM and saw two 308's both were GTS's...both red....one had the Euro spoiler??...the other was straight forward 308....really timeless cars.

 

Today was absolutely fantastic. According to my car, it hit 60 degrees today!

Ah, spring is in the air!

Took an S400 Hybrid up to Piermont and took in what the town had to offer. Great weather and a great drive.

Doesn't get much better than that.

 

Hi Kirk,

Work related late night on Sat, so too early to go driving next morning. But, I hope you and everyone had a great time. Sure was a beautiful day.

 

Yes, had a good time. I think we had about 15 people -- 3 Ferrari's, a bunch of Porsche's and a Ford GT. Beautiful day for a drive. Hopefully we'll see you on Saturday at Cars & Croissants.

Kirk

 

My first run with my 308. Had a very good time! Met great people and had a fantasic ride through the Jersey countryside. Loved Jocabs Ladder!!! My thanks to the hosts.

Mike

 

Speaking of Jacob's ladder, a little history lesson. The reason the road is laid out like that with hill, flat part, hill, flat part, etc is that before cars, horses pulling carriages needed a place to rest on the way up the hill. When the town recently re-paved it, they decided to keeep it that way instead of making a smooth hill because of the historical significance.

Of course - a more interesting story comes the book Weird New Jersey. You may have seen a stone building off to the right as we were heading down Jacobs ladder -- it has no windows or doors. According to legend, that is the Devil's house. The bumps in the road on Jacobs Ladder are supposedly where the Devil has buried various bodies. A little spooky given that I live right around the corner...
