Default MTFR #7 pics

Here is the first of my pics from today. Unfortunately, the rest of mine (a LOT) are all very very small due to a problem I had with Windows Picture Manager, and now, I cannot resize them larger without them getting blurry - anything I can do here? They look like I put them through the shrinkydink machine!

On the run, you could not have asked for a better day. Weather was gorgeous! We had 15 cars out, which was almost too many, form the standpoint of keeping everyone together on a drive. But we made it, and no boo-boos! We had various models out, including 944, 928, SC's, Carreras, 993's, Carrera S. We had targas, cabs, and coupes. We had turbos and a supercharged 993. We did a slightly different route than planned, but found some nice roads to "open it up" on, as well as some roads (finally in the end) to hug the curves on! Love that Highway 48 from Dickson to Centerville!

Here is my pic for now (until I can figure out how to fix my other tiny pictures - can you hear Don Ho in the background?)... This is my youngest of our 6, Rylan. He just turned 4 two days ago, and was very excited to be on his first ever MTFR! He thought it was very cool, could not stop talking and asking questions until he finally passed out on the way home... My favorite comment from him today was: "THIS IS JUST LIKE FOLLOW THE LEADER DAD!"

Nice cars and nice people. So glad to have met the group and am looking forward to the next MTFR.

Jeremy and Chandler also took some good pics from the supercharged 993 that we should try to get.

Now that Wicke fixed my windows I can track the car. Please invite me if anyone heads for a track near Nashville.
