    The title says it all. I'm working in Dallas this week through Friday around noon. I know that the meeting isn't until next week, but it would be nice to see any of you that are up to it. I'm going to be at Norwood's sometime this week after work to get a few Ferrari items.

    Hey Jim, I still owe you a steak for my first ride in a Ferrari, and well, for my fat arse burning your clutch. I think I set a record as the only passenger to fry a clutch. :)

    I'm in Los Colinas this week, which I know is probably out of Dallas a bit. Lunch is a bit tight for me because I teach class during the day so I don't get a lot of time. Are you anywhere close Jim?

    Jim,
    Do you feel up to doing something after work? I know that two weeks in a row may be tough so no big deal.

    I could probably have a quick beer, but would have to be early. Any chance you can be free at 5:00? Tuesdays are usually a good day for me to drive the Ferrari.

    I get out of work around 4:00 or earlier, so 5:00 is great for me. Any day is fine for me as well. Anyone else up for tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5:00 p.m.? Jim, you name the place!

    Lets do it tomorrow, Tuesday, at Champps on 114 between Walnut Hill and MacArthur. I'll try to be there at 4:30, but it may be 5:00.

    Gene, my office is the 12 story building right across the highway from there, white framed with black glass.

    I got done teaching class early. I guess that is the advantage of being the instructor. Anyway, I can be there around 4:00 is anyone else is going to be early, otherwise, closer to 4:30.

    I had a great time last night! Jim, Tim and Tillman showed up and we had some appetizers. The plans for the night changed when we got a call to rescue a 360. Tillman had jumper cables so I tagged along for the drive. After getting the 360 running (I'll let someone else divulge the owner :)) I was taken for a ride in my first 360. What a great car!

    Thanks a lot for the fun and memories. I always look forward to coming to Dallas. Maybe next time we'll get we'll do some work on some cars. Sounds like fun!

    Thanks for the snacks Gene, good to see you again.

    Your wife is going to make you quit coming here. Last time you did, you rode in a 328 then went and bought one. This time, you rode in a 360.....
