Sat/Sun (Jan3/4) Drive - Any Interest?

how many people, what car going, and can i bring some porsche guys if i can make it ?

 

Sorry Rick, Check back to post #20 !!

 

Ya got me. The Italian weatherman strikes again . . . . "a forcast you can't refuse"!

 

Hey Guys,

I think I'm gonna miss this one... I just have so much to do here at home... we've had company for the past two weeks... ugg.... maybe later in the month?


Happy New Year to ya'll!

Tom

 

Darn Tom! I was going to jump in your passanger seat, oh well maybe next time................... just kidding and a Happy New Year to everyone also.

 

If I can arrange care for my daughters, I'll bring my wife along, otherwise, it may end up being just me. I'm looking forward to it.

 

I can't think of a better way to start the New Year than to go for a drive in the North Georgia Mountains! This looks like a great trip and I'll be there. Thanks for putting this together Mr. Rittweger!

 

listing of who/what is showing up ?

 

The usual suspects include a few Ferraris; 360, 355, 348, a Scuderia, a few Lotuses (Loti?); Exige S, Elise(s), Esprit V8, Aston Martin, Porsche(s), BMW M3(s) old and new, all the right people.

Usually there are a few who run out front, then the group stops to re-group, and off we go. Anyone can travel at their own pace, nobody drives recklessly or too fast for the conditions. Having done this with some well-disciplined and 'not so well-disciplined' groups, this is a good well disciplined group interested in having fun but bringing it back in one piece.

 

Looks like Mother Nature has other plans. :-/

 

Bob and I made a run out of it anyway. Martin rode shotgun with Bob and my daughter came along. Mick showed as well, but since it was foggy and wet, he chose to not take the drive. Once we got to the mountains, it was drying up and in the Lake Burton area it was dry and sunny!!... but only briefly. On the way back we found the rain. From the way it looked at Starbucks, I would not have expected it to be so different in the mountains, actually I figured it would be worse, not better.

As for the roads, they're still clean!

Next week the Lotus group has their 2nd Saturday run, maybe better weather.

 

i passed coming based on the drizzle and fog in east cobb.

have a link to the lotus event info ?

 

i'm game any weekend (sans rain).

 

Yes, the Lotus club's monthly drive is this Saturday. In fact, its the second Saturday of every month. We generally meet at the Chevron/Waffle House at the top end of 400, just south of Dahlonega. The drive starts at 9 AM so get there a little before hand with a full tank of gas. The route is determined on the spot, although we have a canned route which is a lot of fun too.

 

any fcars planning on attending ?

 

Come on out, everyone is welcome.

 

I will most likely go, Bob are you in?

 

I'll go if the rain holds off.

 

where do you meet exactly ? how far a drive from powers ferry/285 area ? you drive out at 9 am ?

 

From Sandy Springs to the top end of 400 is about 45 miles. They head out at 9am

 

If we keep planning mountian runs, the lake will be full in no time. Seems all we have to do is post a mountain run to assure rainfall!!!

 

70% chance of rain on sat.
