2009 Ongoing CT Gathering II

Hey Guys, Sorry I missed the past couple of weekends. Went out to the Larz Anderson Museum yesterday to check out the Italian Festival. Very interesting collection of cars, everything from a Fiat 500 towing a "mini camper" to the new Ferrari California Spyder (and everything in between).

Anyone heading out to the Hemmings Exotic Car show this Saturday in Saratoga Springs this Saturday? Let me know, as I'm planning to head out there.

Regarding the weekend, Sept 13 works for me too, just let me know the details.

Hi Guys and DrJess,

Date - by concensus the date shall be September 13th

Cars and bikes of a sporty nature.

All are welcome to attend - spouses, children, buddies. Enthusiasm is the only requirement.

SaintB as always is one or more steps ahead of me.
Yes you are correct. Committed to polo next couple of days after which I'll start a new thread with the specifics.
That will keep this thread from becoming cluttered up.

UConn - don't worry about the weather. I checked the long range forecast and the weatherman says September 13 is predicted to be a glorious Autumn day.

DrJess - Glad to hear that you can make it. Finally.

All - Please pass this invitation along to anyone that you think would be interested.

SPECIAL NOTE - This is FerrariChat so we need to draw more Fcars. Last year the Pcars edged us out in the count.

I'll get a food/supplies list together (that means my wife will advise what she needs)

You guys are great !!!


Regards

I'm looking forward to my first G-bury meet on Sunday ... "it's on", right?

 

Beat you to it, Lane. I was out having some Noble fun. Saw you heading toward Old Saybrook. I spun through the car show there. They let me in for free so I could check it out. Decided I'd rather keep driving. That's when I saw you going the other way in the black beauty.

 

Yeah that figures, looking lousy for tomorrow. Put some solid miles on the 355 today, need to keep those cam belts exercised

 

Yup weather is definitely up in the air. Im hitting a cruise night at Vindicator Cycles in Cromwell and then probably cruisin up to the Berlin Turnpike.

 

Yeah, I got the "Wow, what is it?" from the main guy out front. He used his hand held radio to let the guys inside know to let me in so I could check it out. They were begging me to stay too, but it was too nice of a day to be sitting in a parking lot WITH NO SHADE for my bald head.

Sure was great day for a drive. I had just finished installing my new side-mounted Liftmaster garage door opener on the bay with the hoist (so I don't have to open and close it by hand anymore). Should have done that a long time ago! A normal opener doesn't work, because I ran the door channels all the way to the ceiling so the door is out of the way. The new opener worked great the first time I tried it, so I patted myself on the back with a long cruise and then used the opener when I got back. Pretty sweet to be able to drive right in and not have to get out to open it. Highly recommended for anyone with a hoist that has moved the door up like I did.

A great day for driving indeed! In one month I went from 2270 to 2840. The drive home from the dealer and 2 round trippers to Lime Rock account for a good chunk but I'm smitten and try to do a little driving almost everyday. We'll see on the weather for Sunday

 

I'm with you guys. Today was way to gorgeous not to be screaming down a New England road in a Ferrari. I'm glad I own one!!!! Spent half the day cruising, and the other half taking a clay bar to my baby. Thanx to all who recommended it. It has never looked better.

 

Weather looks better. Just calling for some sprinkles at some point. The worst of it is supposed to stay to the west and south. I'm going to gas up. Lane, give me a call on the cell. If 9 is still chewed up, we can go the same way as last week again.

 

one advantage of the coupe I guess ... but I miss having a drop top ...

 

+1 See you guys in a few -

 

Hey Jay, Heading out to Orange County Choppers today with my buds from my former life as a Harley man. I will get you your scanner back next week. Thanx for the use of it. If you need it sooner, give me a yell.

 

Guys, I am missing today as I am on the one week dl with an injury. Hope to see you next sunday

 

I had a nice time getting out to G-bury today. Surely the highlight with this weather. Didn't get to talk to everyone. I have to see about lowering my ride. Three fingers between tire and wheel well. The stock set up looks like a monster truck compared to some of the others. Carm is going to help me out with that, looking forward to it.

 

Ferrari's scared of rain? heck no! Nice to have some color today too Frank love that 430...hey, I need a ride next time

Joe - no rush at all for the scanner, I have no codes, woohoo!!!

Craig - ok, that garage is just heaven. I vote we have a meet at your place someday for a tour!

I'm sure game for that, Jay. We have some nice roads everyone could explore around here too. We could find a place to meet, do a road tour and then end up here to chill, grab some food and refreshments, etc. That would sure shake up the neighborhood. Our house is in a pretty private setting and there should be plenty of room to park everyone, either in the yard, in the driveway behind the garage, along the driveway (it's pretty long and I keep a grass border cut along it on both sides). We'd just have to pick a date that works for most people. It could even be on a Saturday, so we wouldn't have to interfere with our usual gatherings.
