    You, and an interesting car, are invited to come to the Grand Opening of our new service facility located at 636 Milford Frenchtown Rd., Milford, NJ 08848.

    6/19 is Fathers' Day - tell your family what would really float your boat and dodge another neck tie.

    We are very excited about, and proud of, our new building and would love to show it to you. The modern, spacious facility will be exclusively for service/repair work. Body shop, machine shop and fabricating shop will remain at 6 Washington Street. Work will flow much more efficiently and we will have space for ample parking, a show-room, a customer waiting area, nice bathrooms, an office on the ground floor, a clean-room, etc. And we'll be in a beautiful park-like setting. Please come and check us out and have some refreshments!

    Please RSVP

    Wil and Sandy de Groot

    Sounds like fun!

    What time are you planning on starting and finishing?

    Not sure yet if I can make it but let you know shortly as I would like to see your place and talk to you about a service on my car.

    Hi David,

    The plan is to be open from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM but, depending on interest, we may stay open longer. We look forward to seeing you there!

    I left C&C at 10 & went to see Will & his new shop.
    It was an absolutely wonderful drive!
    I hung out chatting shop with Will & his assistant mechanic who really knew his stuff! I'm not easily impressed, but this young man was good! Sandy chitchatted with my wife keeping her happy while the guys talked shop :)

    Pics are below.
    With the wife hungry, we left about 11:45 & tried the Frenchtown Inn. Unfortunately, they want reservations - even though we were there when it opened & only 1 couple was seated. Oh well, Right across the street is the Bridge Cafe. They were pretty good too, though Tourist prices. Frenchtown is a cute little town to spend a little time. Not unlike Chester NJ.

    And I wanted to see Will's Supercharged 308. Wow.

    Oh, and it turns out that Will's building was a bank in its former life.
    So yes, that is a full vault at Will's. It's said to pay for itself by keeping Ferrari parts with their rediculous prices safe in there. I'm thinking if it saves just one Ferrari distributor cap, it's gotta pay for itself.

    Clyde, that is too bad! Minutes later we rolled out a huge lunch for everyone! oh well, next time. Thanks for coming out, really enjoy meeting your other half and seeing you again. Thank you for the very nice pix which I'm hijacking and putting on our facebook page. We really, really enjoyed the party, the chance to show off and share our new place. Glad some other F-chatters showed up, too. - Sandy and Wil

    Rijk, thank you for driving down. Loved seeing your Spyker! Sorry we didn't actually have a chance to chat - it was a bit overwhelming trying to say hello to everyone and I know I missed saying hi. We'll be staging more events, hope to see you down this way again.

    Sandy (Wil's wife)

    David, glad you made it! Nice to meet you yesterday - stay tuned because we're planning a driving event at the end of July. Hope you can make that one, too. Hope we can help you with whatever service your car is needing.

    Rohan, we missed you! But I wouldn't mind staying out partying until 7am. I don't think we can compete with that! There will always be a next time. Stay tuned!
