Last Minute NJ Run tomorrow AM

Read your PM Eric..

 

Great run!
Kudos to Bill for setting this up last minute.
Folks, this is absolutely a wonderful area that we will need to revisit come spring. Wonderful rolling roads, no police, wonderful scenery,
and a great egg sandwich!

Great seeing Bill, Greg, Eric, and Mike.
Pics later after I resize them.

 

We on LI met at Captree. Andy, Dave, Ed, Me. Cooold. Good to get out with the car, though. No Clyde, so no pics!!

 

Ya, Mon. I had a few special moments- trading gansta hand-signals with some urban youth on the Tappan Zee near the end; the wanker in the van who decided to cut me off as we left Chappaqua for Pleasantville; but all in all, a terrific morning. The route, for those who are interested, basically centers around Rt 22 in NY.
We approached by taking Rt. 100 North, through Briarcliff, Millwood, along the reservoirs.
Took a right, going East, on Rt. 35- near Katonah, then left onto Rt.22, going north toward Brewster. A mile or so before Brewster, near some waterfalls (might be a sewage treatment plant for all I know), you take a right at the sign that says, "Salem Center." This road takes you out of Putnam County, back into Westchester, and depending on where you go from there, you can find some fine backroads- Titicus Road, along the reservoir, is great- we didn't take that- instead, we pulled south on Rt. 121; going toward Cross River, through Bedford. When we got to Rt. 35, we made a right, went about 1/2 mile, and then picked up the southbound continuation of 121. We took a right at the sign marked for the Caramour Art Center, a very twisty backroad; that eventually merges back into Rt. 22 right at good ol' Martha Stewart's farm. And there we were, back to Rt. 22.

Thanks, Eric. BTW, the longer version of the route involves going up to the Lakeville area near the track at Limerock- through Kent, along Rt. 7, if memory serves, it is just spectacular up in Conn. You can then do a 'pit stop' at the track- grab a burger, buy some motoring accessories at the track shop, and be on your way. I suspect there is still snow on the ground up there right now, but in a few months, spring will be here....
Good to see all of you.

 

If you ever decide to come up towards Limerock PLEASE let me know!! I live 45 minutes to an hour from Limerock and would love to join you guys.

 

Kenny and I took this route going to the Challenge Races @ LRP a couple years ago... it is VERY MUCH worth the while!

 

Sounds like fun. Look forward to the pics.

 

I was.....busy......yesterday after the run. So here ya go now.
btw: the red GTO is pictured just before he saw Bill's Lambo & backed-off.
And I had LOTS of shots...AVIs of Greg's knee while he was in charge of the camera. They'd be nice shots if you were Scarlett Johansson but alas they were omitted here.

OOPPSS - sorry!

glad to hear you had fun afterwards too!

 

Appreciate the response, Eric.. My tired ass couldnt get up Sunday early to make it there. Looks like you gents had a great time. Cant wait to hit that route in the warmer weather.

Your Diablo is gorgeous. Like the color. Not a "common" color Diablo. Ive been keepin my eye on some Diablo's for my next 4 wheel toy.

 

Thanks for posting pics - I didn't chet Fchat all weekend till after your run - if you guys woulda called, I woulda joined in. I was home all day.

Looks like you had fun - good stuff!

Woulda loved to see pics of the GTO. Bills car is soooo sweet.

 

Next time, hopefully.. I had a full tank of gas ready to go this time. Im still bummed about the last run, when we hit 87 was it?? that you took off, Eric, like a bat outta hell and im lookin at my co pilot and screaming ****!!! We got no ****in GAS!!!

Great time though! Cant wait to make the next one.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. The car in the flesh is really stunning, because the color is less 'cranberry' than it appears in the pics- it's really like candy apple red, without overt sparklies, though it does have some attributes of metallic, and a slightly green, to dark cast as the color goes toward the edges of the body work.

That GTO was a beater. It was also jacked up ridiculously high in the rear end, something I haven't seen much of since my days as a teen in Pittsburgh, Pa, when all the greasers had jacked up cars. (Remember, it was the steel city, heavy on american iron, and some serious tuners, like Yenko, were setting the benchmark. Of course, most of the cars in those days were done by shade tree mechanics, except it was smoke stacks, not trees, that created the shade).

 

I'd like to know next time you plan a run like this. Sounds like a great time.

 

Absolutely. We had a great run yesterday to Lamborghini of Bergen County which we have posted on. We've got some special runs planned in the upcoming months as well as lots of impromptu ones that gather steam in the preceeding week. Best thing to do is to check back to this sub-forum often!

Welcome aboard. Look forward to seeing the Ford GT.
