Lightbulb Metrowest Boston Porsche + Exotic GTG Sundays 9AM Southboro, MA Starbucks

Hi All. With the nice weather on the way I have the itch to get out and see some other fine autos and meet some Rennlisters.

A few years back we used to do this meet on a regular basis as soon as the weather warmed up. It was a lot of fun and there were some really cool cars that were on display.

In the end, I was the only car that showed up the last few times and the GTG just fizzled out.

Any interest in resurrecting this gathering?

Good coffee and car talk sans drive was the old way.

This newer event could incorporate a drive after coffee (or tea)....

Directions:

Tomasso Trattoria is located at 154 Turnpike Road, which is the eastbound side of Route 9, in Southborough, MA. Our building is on the site of the former White's Corner Restaurant.

From the East, Boston/Mass Turnpike Westbound
(Route 90 W)
Exit Mass Pike at Exit 12 (Rte. 9) in Framingham. After toll booth, follow signs for Route 9 West, Marlborough/Worcester. Stay on Route 9 for approximately 2 miles. Turn left at the traffic light in front of our building, across from the Sudbury Reservoir, and enter the parking lot.

From the West, Route 495/Mass Turnpike Eastbound
(Route 90 E)
Exit Mass Pike at Exit 11A (Rte. 495). Go north on Route 495 and take the first exit, Exit 23A, onto Route 9 East. Right after crossing Route 85 you will come to a traffic light at Breakneck Hill Road. The light is about 2 miles from the Route 495 exit. 154 Turnpike Road is on your right at the corner.

I just sold my Ferrari recently (last week to be exact) but I am organizing to get another one very soon and have several friends who have gotten some nice cars (430 spiders, gallardos, etc) over the past few years so I'll spread the word and stop by if im out Sunday for coffee.

Will try to be there. Actually taking possession of my first p-car, a 95 993, on Saturday in PA. Would be nice to meet others and learn about these beautiful machines. I'm sure there's tons of info out there.

Do you mean Sunday April 4th (which happens to be Easter Sunday)?

If so, I'm in!

Boston 951-- You might want to cross post on Ferrari Chat and on the 911, 993, 996 and 997 boards. There isn't much traffic here, but I suspect that people on Ferrari Chat and the Porsche boards will be clamoring to drive this weekend because of the weather so if you post there you might wind up getting a really nice showing.

Rome - I was leaving the exotic cross posting up to Patentman. He always did a nice job spreading the word and having some cool car attend. Time permitting, I will try the Porsche cross posting idea later today.

See you Sunday
