Last year a group of guys did a back roads run down from the highlands and met up with a bunch of folks in huntersville and then all drove down to Ballantyne. Anyone want to do it again? Unfortunately DrStrangelove can't but I plan on coming down from Boone for the event.
only one boxer and one f-40 this year? sheeesh...what has become of things? kidding of course! seems like this year will be a bigger event than last! Wade, how about showing a red daytona or a yellow 250? come on brutha...bring out some serious metal!!! i will miss the event by one week sadly. have fun you all!!!!! pcb
Of course I know you Brian. I just thought that it was easier when Wade organized it last time. Besides, I will be probably alone until I get to huntersville.
Probably so, by the way, your the one with the licence plate finally? I remember asking about it last year, and you said it wa a foot ball team finally won.
Actually thats what everyone thought it meant because it was a UF Gator Plate saying "F9ALY" but it meant I finally got my ferrari. I have since changed it to a NC plate. Its a UF Gator personal plate that says NATE on it. only 4 letters were allowed unfortunately. My toyota is a Blueridge Parkway plate that reads G8RZ and my Rover had G8RNATE on it... I like the Gators you could say
Ah, well, I originally asked if it was because you finally got the Ferrari, and you said otherwise. Anyway, two pics with your car from last year. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
sounds like fun, I will most likely be at the general public showing and for the hangar when do we have to let you know?
