Bob in NY

I'm ok with the Interlaken, put me down for 2 people. Good idea on buying tix on line, I'll do the same

Arrwin

I will be handing out directions on Sunday.

I couldn't get the exact route but just to get an idea, we will be going from the NJ side and taking the Palisades N --> I-287-->I-684. Everything should be the same from there to Lime Rock.

Here are the plans so far:

Arrwin

Hope to meet everyone tomorrow.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call. My number is (917) 509-0411.

See you all nice and early tomorrow!

sonett43

add 3 to the NJ mix, I think we will cram into 1 car, my wife, myself and our 9 month old so. The little one is still in a rear-facing car seat, so the wife will need to ride next to him (front seat won't allow a passenger with the car seat behind it....the car is a 1978 911 SC targa with 33,000 original miles.....the alternate is for the wife to drive the targa, and I'll be in the 1969 911 S with 68,000 miles.....I think we will be in 1 car...see you on the palisades!

Hi Aarwin,

I'll be at the Manhattanville Rd./Suny Purchase exit at 8:30am'ish tomorrow morning.
We're game for breakfast too -- so pls. 'add' us to the list of hungry-hippos.
:-)

Arrwin

Excellent. See you tomorrow Gerry.

Moogle

Bring your two way radios!

See you guys at the CT meeting point.

Speedraser

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. Have a great time everyone!

ajcastaneda

Great drive today, a pleasure meeting all these new faces! When's the next drive?

g_murray

Yep, friggin' superb!

From the donuts at Manhattanville rd. (warming on the whale-tail of YIPS C4S) to the route-switcheroo (more scenic and curvy) to the Hemmings show itself -- an absolutely friggin' fabulous day!

Kudos Arrwin !

Sorry I did not get a chance to see all of you and join all of you in the run, but the switch install went fine, but getting in contact with THD NOC was the problem. I was on hold over an hour! I got home at 2:00am and since I was already lacking sleep, I got up late.

I was really looking forward to meeting all of you and having you all view my new C2S with Aerocup and PCCB's etc. Man I was pissed-off!

Wouldn't you know... I also found out I'm covering 4th of July weekend as well! For Christ sake, give me a break!

How was the drive and how was the show? It was a wonderful day!

Well, at least I washed her today since I got caught in a rain storm yesterday. Leaf blower came in handy to avoid water spotting.

Hope to join you again!

Arrwin, great drive, fantastic cars and even better company. Thanks for putting it together... sorry I couldn't stay for the show.
