    Damn it! I have been trying to meet Luke for the longest time, but alas can't do it in the middle of the day.

    After 3:30--I can hang, but 12? Some of us gotta make a living bro ;)

    Maybe I gotta come down and "workout" and see the pretty ladies at the gym Luke and Dan work out at ;)

    Dan, glad you enjoy the cuisine there...Gary and I were planning lunch for the 16th, I am sure he won't mind driving up to San Mateo and getting together.

    Italian food, of course ! It is not too expensive, but they do have white table cloths and decent service, not too busy, either. Parking is easy.
    I will drag Johannes out, too. He is the guy who works on my car when I get lazy, or I am too spooked to dismantle an expensive V12 bit. He used to work for the factory LeMans racing effort as a mechanic for the Daytona. He is always good for funny stories and himself owns a number of cars including a Gullwing and a Daytona.
    And finally, let us oust the instigator, SteveV (sjvalin), out of the closet. Thanks for your e-mail reminding me to get the priorities straight.
    :)
    Looking forward to seeing you guys there.

    There's a good chance I can make it. I'm in Burlingame that morning, and I can easily drive down for lunch. It'll depend on how much i get done that morning.

    Looks like the replacement 550 won't be done in time, but I'll be there nonetheless.

    Hmm, it's possible that the blue car won't even have work started on it yet. If so, I'll bring it on Wednesday with that crap tubi sound.

    Looks like I won't bring the blue car tomorrow. I won't even get to pick it up until thurs/friday. Reg expired in Jan 05 and the previous owner hasn't paid it yet. He's sending his secretary to the DMV. Also, need a smog check.

    The Chevron dealer on Miller Avenue in Mill Valley does these (smog checks)for FoSF, and you can just come in and get it done.

    How about that mysterious stranger paying for all of our lunches?

    Thanks for coming out. Some car talk was just what the doctor ordered. We will plan on another one at Piacere's in the near future.

    It was great...especially the mystery guy paying the bill!

    I went to allegro.pl and since it's all in polish was tough to go to the watch category...how do I navigate through? any easy suggession. TIA

    a. you can use altavista's or google's web site translation utility
    b. you can navigate directly to the antique watch category
    http://www.allegro.pl/showcat.php?id=688
    Wristwatches only:
    http://www.allegro.pl/showcat.php?id=3482&order=t&view=gtext
    c. you can enter keywords like poljot, rakieta (russian watches, f.e)
    d. you can come over, buy me lunch, and we will sit down and find a cool watch, have me bid on it, and then you can sell it on ebay for 3X the price, recouping your lunch cost. Could this scheme repeated also net you a new 430?
    :)

    Yes, the mystery buyer was much appreciated.

    Always good to see the boys and meet new faces (Steve/Tom/Johannes).

    Matt and I enjoyed Luceti's

    It was great meeting everyone, and I look forward to doing it again soon. Also thanks to the Mystery Man for picking up the tab. (I think that word of this mystery buyer getting our tab will significantly increase the number of attendees for the next luncheon!)

    That really was funny, wasn't it. One of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, I fear. Even without the free ride I'm in for future events.
