    So TGF and I decided we needed an excuse to enjoy our new cars on a nice long drive, and it turns out both of us have been wanting to go down to see Bill Putman's collection of red cars in Hyannis Port (http://www.toadhallcars.com/).

    We thought we'd head down there on Saturday, June 23rd. Perhaps stop for lunch somewhere around 11am, and then go over and see the collection. I also thought it might be fun to stop in at FoNE earlier in the morning, see what they've got kicking around there at the moment and say hello, since it's right on the way down (though I haven't pitched that idea to TGF yet :)).

    Anybody else interested in either driving down there with us, or meeting us there?

    Huh.....I thought your cars were still 'wheels-off', up in the air somewhere!

    I'm in! BTW, I noticed that Mr. Toad Hall's lone Ferrari was a TR that had an ultra-rare, dual rearview mirror configuration.....too bad it's gone, I would have liked to have seen it up-close.

    As of this afternoon, my car just needed an inspection and a good wash. Getting it from Darin tomorrow morning! Hopefully I'll have 'coming home' pics up tomorrow. Tom has had his car for a few weeks now.

    Great, I knew we could count on you! :) Yeah I noticed that too about the TR. He's definitely really more of a British car nut, but a car nut is a car nut!

    Ha! What was the oil leak around your dizzy? Settle on an exhaust system?

    The oil was, luckily, just bad seals on the dizzy. The previous mechanic had noticed the problem but only replaced the cover gaskets and left it at that.

    I had him put the Hyperflow cat in, but did decide in the end to go with a used stock muffler instead of the Tubi. I'll add a Tubi later if I feel the need to spend more money. :)

    Jeremy, I would love to see FoNE. Good thinking.

    I have been to Toad Hall before. It was great fun. Bill doesn't have a staff to keep the cars all polished, but most are in great shape and it's a joy to oggle them. My wife and I are really looking forward to the return trip.

    Mike, I work in Worcester and look forward to meeting you.

    Ok, talked to Jesse the salesman over at FoNE. He's happy to play host for us when we show up.

    Good of him and thanks for setting it up. We are future service customers at the least so I guess it makes sense for them to give a little time.

    Turns out the 23rd isn't any good for either TGF or myself anymore. I guess that was just an ill fated date. So M.James (or anybody else still reading this thread :)), does the 30th work for you?

    The 30th is GREAT....I'll try and convince a new 'owner' to come with us....Mr. Caldwell.
