Nice to see everyone again.

My daughter enjoyed getting behind the wheel of the yellow AC Cobra, her feet were able to reach the pedals!

Had a great time today. It was nice getting to meet the other half of the wake zone crew. Hopefully I'll be able to make it next weekend.

Michael, I tried but it's still no where close to the pictures that you pull off. Are you sure to don't have a Nikon D90 hidden somewhere in your car?



As for the Maserati, the factory should have just covered it with more plastic.

I don't have much to offer by ways of pics; had a battery issue with my camera. I'm sure there will be other events with better turnout. Anyway, a couple for your enjoyment.

Something that jumped out at me for a car of such high end manufacture though was the seams near the windsheild / hood mount on both the silver and white Maserati GTs; like the pivoted hinge for the hood was an afterthought.

FYI - The weather on Saturday is expected to be mostly clear and sunny wiih temp. in the 50s. Sounds like a great day for some coffee and a drive.

Bob, what forecast are you using, or are you placing faith in the power of positive thinking? Link

I think Bob is doing the ancient VooDoo anti-rain dance to cast away that crap forecast of rain!

OK - I admit that I'm an addict when it comes to our Saturday meetings. Imagine the sad sight if we didn't have these meetings. I'd be sitting in my garage on a cardboard box just staring at my car - probably talking to it. Creepy.

As for the weather forecast, I used MSN's 10-day forecast for Apex, NC. It was raining cats & dogs while I was typing up my message, so it did seem kind of ironic.

Have faith, my friends. The sun'll come out....on Thursday.
