    What a great turnout at C&C yesterday! Eight F-cars including Jon Law's 308 GTB, Steve's Boxer, Allan's 456, and Don's 612. And since Eric had his 430 spider in the detail shop, he brought his new-to-him black Gallardo spider.

    As for the drive, I'll just let the photo tell the story...
    ;-)

    For the record, the shot was staged. The very nice Sandy Police officer A) let us use the facilities and B) asked nicely to take this photo. We figured it would be useful karma ...

    I wonder if there will be much of a turnout this Saturday: forecast is for clear, low 20's at event time.

    On those rare really cold days, does attendance / participation plummet?

    There are always a few who show up, even on the worst days. Probably more people than you will find at any other outdoor event on the same day. It just means that we will spend more time inside around the group table before venturing outside into the cold.

    Bob comes up from Wilsonville in his M Coupe in all sorts of weather. He just drives a bit slower when there is ice on the road.

    Of course, there seems to be a slightly higher turnout of Subarus and other AWD vehicles during these winter months. Perhaps even a newer Lambo will show up?

    I had a few minutes and stopped by when the temperature was well under freezing. That is a rarity in this area. I only wanted to hang about outside for pictures for the shortest time possible. You can judge for yourself on participation.

    The weather looks like it could be decent enough for a nice turnout tomorrow. I'll try to swing by.

    The Rolls was really something! So was the pristine, original, time-capsule DeLorean and the very cool '59 Bug.

    I really liked that 308 but I didn't see the owner. I would love to know more about the car.

    That is exactly the car I am wanting to get soon. I would love to take a closer look at it sometime.

    Interesting that the series 1 400i shows up almost every time. Who is that? Auto or 5-speed?
