FOC-Midwest: Mid-Late April Drive

I am going to be playing golf with my wife and another couple at lake lawn lodge on Sunday. We are staying at the grand genva and supposed to be golfing the brute course but may have to play lake lawn sunday and the brute monday due to no avail tee times Sunday at the brute. When you pull in rev the engine's to let me know you are there!!!! My wife says bring the 308 and tie the trunk lid down to carry our golf clubs and overnight luggage. God I love my wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Did I miss an e-mail, or is all the info here on the thread?

 

Hope if you all went you managed to avoid the rain and hail (we had pea sized hail here in Gurnee). I had way too much to get done on the car. The unusually cool weather slowed me way down.
I miss driving!!! lol.. let's see pics from the drive!

We deserve some sort of award from the FOC.
We certainly lived up to the motto "We drive"!
Maybe, "We are morons!"

 

Congrats to the die hard drivers!

Tod, Mike and Chuck, you all get another point for the FOC Gumball trophy.

 

Wow- Thanx for the pics Dave, wish I had gone but couldn't - I would have loved to have finally met your wife too!
Great variety of cars there!
I wonder if the Dino was the one I saw a couple weeks ago near the shop (rt 41 near Buckly)
It's great to see people having the courage to actually enjoy the cars!!

Man,I wish I could have made it. My Daughter had Her Confirmation Day,yesterday. I was hoping for Good Weather for Her Day,as well as all of yours.....But,it didn't quite make it.... Hey,in Chicago,just wait 5 minutes and the Weather will change....Oh well....it can only get better as time goes by!... Was looking forward to that great Brunch...and needed to stop by "The Brat Stop" in Kenosha for a few bottles of "von Stiehl- Natural Sweet Cherry Wine"....

 

I think this year that gumball trophy should be a bucket, sponge and a bunch of cleaning supplies for our cars... HAH! I still need to bath mine, maybe one day this week. the bad thing is, i turn a 45 minute car wash into a 4 hour project.....

 

Gumball trophies will be the same again this year. Well almost.

When I turned the 5 minute automatic car wash into a 45 minute sing and dance with the Ferrari I thought I was going definitely backwards in my life and have become the constant ridicule of my neighbours. Now you're talking about 4 hours...

 

Sorry guys and gals that I missed you at Lake Lawn lodge. I thought we were playing golf at th e lodge but my wife did arrange golf at the highlands at the Grand Geneva anyway. We stayed overnight Sunday and played the Brute. Playing golf in 45 degree weather is as crazy as it gets. I would have enjoyed the drive in my heated 308.

 

YEP, YA GOT THAT RIGHT!!

 

Does that have something to do with driving in the snow, rain, sleet, hail, tornados and hurricanes? Or???

 

Yes it does as we drove our golf balls sunday and monday in HAIL, SNOW, RAIN, WIND. Easier in a car!!!
