Nice pictures. I hope to meet everyone at the next one. Sorry I couldn't make it with my new (at least for me) '02 C4S. I had some things to do all day today.

This was my second time out with you guys, my first was the fall run... this one was by far a lot better. The run in the catskills was amazing. We had a great well disciplined group. I drove probably 7/10ths of what my car is capable of and it was some of my most exciting driving ever. Thanks everyone for a great time.

It was a great time today and by far the highest level of driving I experienced with my car. It proves the true capabilities of these great machines on terrific roads. I hope others post more pics, forgot the camera today.
Hey Geronimo, your car looks soooo sweet going through the curves, that GT3 is a monster!!!

Default I Had So Much Fun Today!

Many thanks to Ilko for extending the invitation to join you all today.
And I thank you all for your hospitality. You made this outsider feel very
welcome.

I have a short, crappy still camera video of the Palisades group joining the
Poughkeepsie group:

And I have some crappy still camera pictures as well.
I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t know very much about your cars. I was
interested to see so many different style wings:














And enjoyed the personalized license plates:







Oops! How’d this one get in there?


I noticed a gawker sitting off to the side of the parking lot:


A shot of the cars staging to leave:


And some shots of the scenery from the CT/Mass leg of the trip:







Stopping for fuel:




I’ve got this shot of Arrwin:


But unlike October’s pose, it didn’t remind me of any world leaders(Lenin Statue). However, it did
remind me of a cultural icon:

Thanks again to Ilko, Bob, and Arrwin. I really enjoyed today’s cruise.
And to the owner of the silver car that I nearly rear-ended as we entered the
Catskill Park; I’m really, really sorry about that. I was temporarily awestruck
by the beauty of our surroundings.
My car has outstanding brakes, but they’re worthless if I’m not paying attention.

Here's a couple of videos:

I have to say that it seemed like the cops knew what we were up to today and were waiting for us I'm very happy that we avoided them and were able to have fun despite their presence on every hill and in every bush

Chuck, I'm glad you could make it

Great run...I usually complain that they're too short! Not this one, NJ, NY, CT, MAS, back to NY....nice. I guess we were just going to drive until the weather changed, huh? Well it did, that was some great weather from about 9am on. A just reward to those of us that didn't let a few showers scare us off (JBrown) I just wish my vid-cam battery didn't crap out.

Thanks to Arwin and all those who helped plan/map the run.

Default Missed it!

Dang, looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

I was (selfishly) hoping for a rainout, as I had other commitments yesterday. I guess I will see you all at the Summer run (there will be a Summer run, right?)

Thanks again to Ilko, Bob, and Arrwin (and your SO for her great nav skills). I have to say this ride was the best so far. Great route! The catskills was amazing.... good seeing the regulars and it was nice meeting new friends as well. Hope to do this again soon!
