    Webby has Oct 27 listed as the next likely central Indiana cruise date, so I don't want to take away from his attendance, but we discussed serving this item up as an interim event if there is interest in two for October. (actually 3 counting a Ferrari only gathering in Ft. Wayne)

    Anyway, Tim D with all the black cars including a Porsche CGT and Bugatti Veyron has been wanting to run with us, but his schedule is packed. He is however open on Oct 13 and we thought we would start at his place in Indianapolis with a garage tour. We need to figure out what to do after that but figure a nice drive, maybe lunch. I checked the big Kart track in New Castle but they have a race that day so we can't race there, so a Kart outing maybe later in the season.

    So...Who is up to cruising with a Veyron on October 13th?

    LMAO! I know this car is #81, and about 35 of the production run so far are in the USA.... so there are about as many Veyron's here as there are F50's... currently.

    You guys don't want to miss this. I had a sneak preview yesterday while making arrangements for this event. There is something for everyone in this collection, antique, classic sports cars and modern exotics, including several Italians.

    Day will start at 10 AM, here is a cut and paste from Tim with prelim details:

    "I would like to invite all car nuts to join me at my home and garage on Oct 13 at 10 am to tour my cars and then head off for a short tour to New Castle , then Muncie, Anderson , Noblesville and back for a late afternoon cocktail party. Let SMS know of your interest.see you then. tsdurham

    The address is 14353 east 113th street fortville. on the noth side of geist resv.easy to find on yahoo maps"


    The drive thru the rural countryside looks like a good route for the area just touching the outskirts of the above mentioned towns, and should be about 100 miles.

    I got a few questions about the address. FYI I suggested we meet some place close and drive to the garage as a group to facilitate privacy, but Tim said just meet here and threw his address on another site himself, thus the open invitation. Not quite like the LifeLoc guy, but I guess he has faith in his physical, electronic, human and canine security and I'm sure he knows what he is doing.

    With several events within 100 miles this month it's a good time to be in the Midwest. Hope the weather hold up for all the outings!

    A couple other things. The reception after the drive will be a casual affair, not "West Coast" as some questioned. What ever you comfortably drive in will be fine.

    Brian F (05DaytonaC6) is sales mngr at Ed Martin Cadillac GMC in Anderson. He has offered their business as a pit stop location during the lap so we can reassemble there if we get strung out, hit the restrooms, etc... before rolling back south, so we'll plan on doing that.

    Well, I'm not sure when the car will get back (I find out tomorrow) but weather dependent and as long as I have the car, I would like to join in. Count me as 80% right now. This sounds like a TON of fun!!! I'd love to see a Veyron up close and personal. :)
    I SHOULD NOT be the only FERRARI however, come on guys!!!!

    Bring some with you from your Ft Wayne gathering tomorrow. Added Steve H to the list with his silver 355 spyder, plus Debbie's 360 spyder, and possibly Tami with her 308QV. If all of you show up, 50% of the Ferraris present will be lady owned.

    Reminder bump for this Saturday. Put it on the calander before you get roped into antiquing or picking out paint colors.

    Where's all the Ft Wayne guys? This is practically in your neighborhood.

    Congrats! You must be on cloud 9 after all this.

    A guy just called me from Madison and has a 330 probably coming up.

    Sunny and 65 degrees is the forecast.

    I've got to get her home 1st, therefore I'm not holding my breath. Based on my conversation with them on Friday, I *should* get a call from them tomorrow.... They expected that it would be done Tues/Wed and home to me within a day or so afterward.
    I'll be in heaven when she returns. Lots of driving to do before the snow flies!

    Damn it I have to do job training in Bloomington that day :( Oh well, I was at Tim's house not too long ago. The cars are one sight, but the house is another completely by itself. Make sure to get a tour of the house. I hope you guys like antique cars as well, because he has a few...dozen
