    Guys,
    I just got my car back from Competizione, and I need to put it through the wringers. I say we set up a drive, starting in Montgomery County at my new house. We can hit some great roads in the am, and then grab some BBQ at one of the best kept secrets in town afterwards.
    Here's the best part... Not only will photos be allowed, but they will be encouraged. :)
    Who's interested?
    We can arrange the details once we get a head count.

    I may be able to make the drive but need more details. We have company in town and need to make sure they are gone.

    BTW, you need to post some pics of the new mods that Richard and Fernando cooked up for you.

    I can see your new house in that picture. Mulholland and Laurel Canyon right?

    I'm in for the Sunday that weekend.

    I would like to join in but have some schedule constraints. Friday July 3 and Sunday July 5 would work best. Do we have to use an F-Car? Whatever I bring will be interesting, and able to keep up.

    I have gotten a few PMs and it looks like we should firm up a date. It looks like Sunday the 5th of July should work best for most everyone who has replied. We could meet early, say around 10 am drive for a few hours and then circle back for some BBQ. The other option would be to start later, say 12-1 pm at the BBQ place and then finish up in the afternoon. If anyone has a strong preference with regard to the time, please let me know in the next few days and I will do my best to accommodate everyone.

    Cobraowner - any car is welcome, but I would love to see your 66 427 or your 959! :D

    Lashss - I could use your help with the route. PM or call me sometime.

    I'd say an earlier start is better for the drive -- less potential for obstacles.

    As far as Don's cars, I'm hoping he brings the GTX1.

    Luke, I'd love to join and prefer an earlier start, but can make just about any time work. Let's hope a miracle occurs and it doesn't rain.

    Earlier would be better to keep temps more comfortable and lessen the chance for rain.

    Now, I need to sort out a car to drive... :)

    Simple... The red one, and not the tow truck ;).

    I agree that earlier would be best and it looks like that should work best for everyone else too. Robbie, who needs sleep? Get down here early! :)

    When we get closer to the date, I will pm everyone who responds here with the meeting point address.

    I also just got my car back from Competizione, and I'm itching for some cruising. I may have to work, but if not, I'd like to go.
