Great day at Lime Rock!!! Although no Ferrari's on track, there were plenty driven in by local Tifosi. Saint Bastage led a spirited drive down some of the best roads in the country!

Nice collection of yellow cars, and one pic of Mario's F1 car on track

It was nice to meet everyone! I like to thank you for letting me hang out and feel welcome as well! I look forward in meeting up again with the cars & bikes.

Had a great day as always. Racing was interupted by Lil Bastage who wanted to go swimming at one of my old haunts. Could hardly say no. when we returned to the track, he wanted to stay with me...huh...go figure. Nice afternoon of racing with me, my prodigy, and one of his friends. Who could ask for more. Sorry to my buds but I'm sure you understand. I didn't ditch you. Time with the Lil Bastage is fairly precious at his age.

 

Yah for me it wasn't worth the 3 hour drive to watch you guys race instead I met a fellow rhode islander at Johnston memorial park he was in a red 430 scuderia nice guy to say the least he says he's an fchat member didn't get his username but maybe I'll see him around

Had the weather cooperated, I would have gone, but not going to pull the F-Car out since the forecast is for rain or showers.

 

Saturday car and bike show at my son's school. Pretty decent turn ouit with mostly american iron and a few bikes. I'd love to spice it up a little with some dolce vita. Wanna have some Saturday fun? Bikes would be nice also.

Hello F-chat friends. Shoulder surgery went well last week and I am now a week into my 8 week hiatus from camera work. Going a little nuts sitting around the house though. Miss the F-car, especially when my buddy Tom shows up to visit on Memorial Day in his bright red 355 with the top down. Oh well, I'll catch a ride down to the meet real soon. Enjoy Sunday. It's going to be great weather. Joe S.

 

Great to hear everything is fine. Missed you last Sunday and Monday at the rock. Well...Not really you...missed the car.

(J/K)

I can't imagine sitting round the house doing nothing. Have you been watching the "stories".

Glad to hear my car is being missed. Just got home from the Doctors and it looks like I'll be watching plenty more "stories". It will be 12 weeks before I can lift a camera again. It should only be a few more weeks though, and I'll be shifting a 6 speed as part of my physical therapy. See ya all soon. Joe

 

Ive wanted to come to this for a while.

Tomorrow Id like to stop by with my 04 Viper and a buddy with a 09 GTR.

Whats a good time to come?

 

We generally get started around 9 and end at 11 or 12. Happy to have you

 

9? Im here now (8:15)

What a lovely morning. 25 cars and 6 bikes including a sweet Ducati Desmo 1000 and a Nissan GTR. First 5 Ferrais were Nero smashing the myth that a proper Ferrari is Red. Then again, I've always been a little "improper".

 

trying to post pics from today, site is not feeling it. looks like there will be a slight delay. if somebody wants to give it a shot I have about 3 megs of pics I can email to you. pm me your email address. Certainly not a photographer, just a guy with a cheap digital camera.

 

Dave...You have a PM

 

Lane you have a email

 

Some shots from today...Thanks to Dave...

He left a little early. Many arrived later and were not in his camera

Looking forward to this Sunday June 7th, If any one is interested in taking a Ride to the Greenwich Concours from the Gbury starbucks , Frank and I , with the spouse's and rugrats in tow are heading down for the day. http://www.greenwichconcours.com/

 

Pete...I asked the wife and she is faining interest. She said she would go since there will be other women there. Umm......Uhh.....I'm confused.

Not yet sure where to hook up. Doesn't make sense to come to Gbury just to return to the shore. Kinda makes a long day. You staying on the parkway or jumping to 95? Maybe we hook up near Orange or Milford somewhere.

I heard it was a bit dusty last year...any word on parking security and condition?
