    Looks good as of now.
    Jim, do you want me to meet you half way, and take you the rest of the way? :)
    Brian, will the Vette make it? We still need to hook up.

    Sheesh. Surrounded by comedians.

    Tom, I appreciate your offer of assistance, I just don't know that I'll have time to drive over there (30mins) have lunch (an hour) and drive back (30 mins). If you'd like to come pick me up though, I'll save my gas and work on my Blackberry from the passenger seat! :)

    Tillman, not Phoenix much any more sadly. These days it's Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. I like Phoenix better.

    I will be there. The car I bring depends on what happens that morning.
    In office meeting, tempature under 85 = Vette
    In office meeting, tempature 85 - 95 = 550
    In office meeting, tempature above 95 = Jag
    Out of office meeting = 550
    Rain = Jag

    See, this can be very complicated. I will put together a graph later.

    It appears I've missed an announcement? I'm thinking you don't have a new BMW, so....

    Jim,

    Check your PM.

    Another great addition to Brian's stable! Knowing your drag roots, have you lit 'em up yet? Hope to be there in the 355. Going in to Norwoods today for a checkup.

    Yes, I had to try it once. Had to pedal the gas to keep from hitting red line. Rear tires are 13" wide, it left some nice marks.

    The rear tires haze through 1st and 2nd gear, I have learned do NOT accelerate heavy in a low gear on a corner. I could do that in my 355 but because the 550 is front engine it is less forgiving.

    Froglike Porsche 911 seemed more appropriate than Testarossa this morning for some reason...
    will try to make it depending on the calls and emails.

    Wonder if there will actually be a Ferrari in attendance?

    Look, does it seem logical to maybe have another one of these, perhaps on the 10th or something, to make up for the many people that could not fit this one in?

    Just a trial balloon idea, as I am not an organization person - Tillman, Jimpo, B.Ratcliff???

    So far it looks like just James, Tim, Tom and I?

    If we do one again some time this month, lets do it in Las Colinas. Jim, James, Manny and I are all within a mile of each other.

    Early in the month is okay for me, the later in the month that it gets, the harder it is for me to break away.
