    Hey folks... I just got off the phone with Bruce Wellington. Please keep you calendars free for Sunday, Nov 21st. Im planning a fantastic run to honor the arrival of Brother Bruce's new 550. Ive been looking for an excuse to share some of my favorite roads with my f chatter friends, and this is the perfect event.

    The route will have us gather approx 35-40 mins west of NYC, then we sprint north thru Sussex County over some absolutely stunning country winding roads. I love to drive, and the roads I have picked out are truly killer. Our destination will be the Apple Valley Restaurant in Milford PA to have lunch. I am already trying to arrange special parking for us there. I figure the trip will take less than 1.5hrs frm the gathering spot. I will post further details shortly.

    I hope everyone can join us, even those who "dont do Jersey".

    I'll be there with bells on! ;-)

    I know the roads and destination that you are referring to, and you couldn't pick a better drive.

    Oh and for those of you that don't do Jersey...you're missin' out! After you see where we're goin' you'll want to "do Jersey" over and over again.

    Sounds like fun - thanks for organizing Greg. I'll certainly try to be there, although a final "yay" or "nay" will come closer to the date, depending on work. I assume we'll have an early start, to minimize traffic.

    I should be able to do this run. I'll keep the date on my calendar, and will be able to confirm in the next week or so... Currently, put me down as in!!

    Saw Bruce's new beast today!!! His garage looks totally different without the yellow TR.

    Being that I live less then 10 miles from the Apple Valley Restaurant and have met a few of you guys (Keith, Clyde, Rehan, Bruce, Tom B) I would definatly love to meet up with some more of the EC crew there. Depends on what time you meet up there and when I get out of work.

    Our pleasure Bruce. You've done a lot for the Ferrari community, and we look forward to a run with you, especially if it involves "breaking in" your new baby (although I suspect it may have well-happened by the time this run rolls around).

    Greg, if I may:

    1. Greg - host
    2. BWS550 - 550
    3. ClydeM - 308
    4. ghost - 355B
    5. JC360 - 360
    6. Hutch91TR - Testarossa
    7. pchop - 550
    8. TTG - 355 Spider
    9. kenster888 - 348
    10. Tom B - Mondial
    11. AJS328 - 328
    --
    12. 993guy - 993
    13. F5506M - Murcielago

    Sounds like a super crew so far!

    And on a personal note, I look forward to catching up with a lot of the guys that I've corresponded with, but whom I haven't yet had a chance to meet in person: Bruce, Todd, Tom B., Hutch, etc.
