2009 Ongoing CT Gathering II

It sounds like you guys have a lot going on tomorrow.. there is a remote possibility I could offer 2 more wheels to join you if you are interested.

Otherwise, I am looking forward to Sunday AM.

 

Sorry, I really worded that incorrectly. I am subconsciously convinced today is Friday, haha.

I was talking about whatever you guys have on Saturday maybe joining in on if you were making it a more "public" event then just something between a few friends you happened to be discussing on the forum, but I am not sure if I am free yet. Then, Sunday morning looks great one way or another.

 

Well in that case, I hope so as well. =]. I live about half a mile further away from Denny's then Craig's road starts, haha.

 

Join us if you can, Brendan. And try to keep up, will you?

 

Today has a "friday feel" for me as I am off the next 4 days ....

 

Lucky you! I was supposed to be off but got dragged into meetings tomorrow so I have to go in. I am hoping to take Tuesday off instead, but somehow its just not the same.

Where / when are you and Jay thinking about meeting up? I should be out of my appointment by 9:15AM or so. It is on Farmington Ave in Farmington, just off Interstate 84 Exit 38. Let me know what you guys are thinking.

 

That should not be an issue

 

Hey guys. I'm thinking of blowing off all my responsibilities tomorrow morning and joining in the fun. Where and when are you meeting in Farmington?

 

Don't just think about it. Do it! May as well start the long weekend off the right way.

 

Probably meeting around 9:45AM. We are still working on the location. I'll PM you as soon as we know. I'll also PM you my cell.

 

I was waiting until the last minute as I have had a fever since Tuesday. If I feel up for the ride I will meet at denny's. The fresh air might be nice. I certainly do not want to get you guys sick so probably no picnic for me.
Take some pics and if I miss it be safe.

 

Being a holiday weekend I suspect there may be an increased presence of law enforcement on the roads ... hoping they don't spoil any of the fun

 

Only for the last guy in line...I'll go first

I'll have a buddy riding along as passenger too; Craig we should be rolling in Denny's around 10-ish.

 

Middletown to Westbrook in 15 minutes? No wonder U don't want to be last in line. Jay, what tire pressure should the Pilot sports run at? They say 50 psi max.

 

I said 'ish'...ok maybe 20 min

I'd run the Pilot sports around 38 psi for the street and see how they feel.

 

Thanx

 

I'll plan on being at Denny's about 10:30. I figure that's about when you'll get there. I was on 9 South on Tuesday. It was still grooved north of Middletown, but fine south of Middletown. You should plan your route to avoid 9 until Middletown, if that is still the case.

 

I'm disappointed to say I won't be there.

 

Sorry guys,
I really wanted to attend, but I still have a fever and feel pretty crummy . Looks like the couch for me again today.
Craig thank you for setting this up.

 

I guess I'll be the first to post thanking you for your hospitality and a great drive!

I had a blast on those roads. I've found it the mot fun traveling in "packs" with these cars like predatory beasts

Jay, how did you like that last tunnel blast? I hit 8+k revs

I should be bringing my neighbor along to Gbury in his 360 spider tomorrow

 

I also greatly appreciate the hospitality. Sorry Craig got stuck cooking will we enjoyed his Ferrari Freinds Apartment. Thats what its called...right...?

Glad you guys got to experience my playground in the Hopyard. You have no idea how much I was looking forward to that.
So sad about my CE light. After I got you guys on the highway, I hit the back roads pretty hard. The light is gone.....WTF. Maybe the ECU reset fixed it? I'll bring her to Gbury tomorrow and see how it goes.

 

Rushed to get home for what? an empty house, no note, no response to cell call and text. WTF? at least the luggage and kids things are still here ...

I just got back walking the dog in my neighborhood. I had leash in one hand, phone in the other as a red 16M Scud spider passes me waving - and I realize I'm wearing my Ferrari shirt and hat still First time I saw that car around here. If I had a free hand I might have flagged him down and told him to come to Gbury tomorrow

 

Days like today are what owning a Ferrari is all about. What a fantastic time I had. Good friends, Great food, and Awesome cars. That ride was second to none, thanks to Craig. I appreciate the hospitality. You have a beautiful home, especially the garage. When Jay plans the second annual ( lets all go to Craigs house ) get together, I would recommend anyone who missed this to go. It was awesome!!!! Thanks again to our host Craig and our planner Jay. I am now off on a 3 hr. ride which won't be nearly as much fun. Cape Cod in the Lexus SUV. Happy Labor Day all.

 

Just to echo what the guys already said, thanks a TON to Craig for hosting the garage monkey meet and drive! What a drive through those twisty roads, and a fine sight from my seat following a Noble, TR, and a 430...my adrenaline is still flowing. The 355 was quite sad to pull back into my lowly garage after she saw yours though .

Frank, yes on the ride home that was an absolute F1 shriek through the tunnel! These engines are happy at 8000+ rpm

Pics to follow once I download them, need to check out the video too

 

not having law enforcement spoil our fun was a bonus
