We will meet just north of the freeway on the right hand side on the street, next to the curb. There is a gas station just south of the freeway. The drive is 45 miles long from this point to our lunch location, just tring to help on the gas needs. On the streach of road there is a tunnel that has a park just on the other side of it. If the parking lot is vacant we will stop for a pic.

Hey everyone! Bob, you can count me and Charlotte in on this "run"! Look forward to seeing everyone that shows!
 
I am working on some timing and asking a few questions to see if I can get a hook-up for something. I will need to get all information before I send my BCC email. :headbang: :rofl:

Always planning...

We do this event every year and I like to try to mix it up a bit. Via the networking I do, I can generally do something different in the area. Sometimes it works and sometimes timing is poor. :headbang: What are they going to do, tell me no, I've been told that before. :rofl:

We will probably be able to go by then. I should have my car back by then as well.

What happened to you car? I hope you're replacing the top and didn't, let's say, lost your diff while driving down the road :? :? :?

Mary and should be in Italy around that time so we won't be able to attend. I would make Scott aware of it as some of the folks up north were interested in the drive.
 
I think I'll be able to go....thats right after my track weekend though, which I think I'm only going to do one day this time around. At any rate, I'll make an effort to go.
 
Still tring to finalize the plan. As soon as I get the information I will edit the first post in this thread. :thumbsup:
 
Hi Bob,

Charlotte is up for playing photo-artist, and I suppose I can provide chauffeur services.

BTW, according to their website, parking is bumped up to $8 after March 14.
