Rain date still Sunday?

 

He said earlier that it's on for tomorrow (Saturday). That was the call based on the forecast.

I'll do my best to get out of bed and get there (why do these things have to start so early?)
Either way, I'm bringing my already dirty FWD rain car. I can't fit a bag of pretzels in the Lotus anyway.

 

Hey Jon,

Sorry for the uber late reply, but we'll be unable to make it tomorrow morning. Everyone be safe, take lots of pics and above all HAVE FUN!!!!!

 

I'll have a couple of extra shirts tomorrow. (3)xxl's, (2) larges, (2)xl's


just to double check the meeting place is...

Iron Skillet Restaurant‎
221 Belle Hill Rd, Elkton, MD

...right?


I really don't feel like getting lost and ending up in sandy cove again this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OK The weather will be great. BTW the reason we tend to start things a bit earlier is in my opinion the driving experience can be great or suck depending solely on the traffic and the traffic will always be lighter the earlier you go out. I think that everyone that makes the effort to be there will be pleasantly surprised by the run . Anxious to see everyone tomorrow. Stay safe . Bob

Also, anyone that has any trouble getting there please feel free to call. 302-463-3354.

 

boss and i just got home. 2 hour drive to the starting place, probably not going to make it. Have fun and take lots of pics.

The saga continues with my cursed 328....Bambi cracked my bumper and now this....

So I drive all the way down to the Mason Dixon Rally in MD and as I pull off the highway and onto the off ramp I notice that my steering is acting a bit funny...ummm not sure what it could be. As I pull into the truck stop where everyone is and turn left into the parking spot my steering is defiantly not right cause I could barely turn the wheel. Soon as I got out of the car to my disbelief the right front rim is just about on the ground....crap I got a flat!!!

So in the back of my mind I'm like thank god I'm at a truck stop, they can fix it.....5 mins later wouldn't you know "Sorry Sir we can't change passenger car tires only trucks"....SOL once again. Can things get worse?!?!?. Indeed they did.

After traveling 10 miles down the road I came upon a Goodyear Tire shop on Rt40 somewhere in Maryland. So I pulled in to see if they could help me. Once inside I ask the counter man if he could help me out since I was from out of town and in a hurry to get back to the Rally. He asked what kind of car and I told him a 328 Ferrari...his eye's lit up. He came out to see the car and inspected the situation, we determined the valve stem was bad and needed to be changed. With that he went to his boss to get a price on the job. Guy comes back and says it'll take 2 hrs and it'll be $50 since its an exotic....$8 for the stem and $42 for labor. I said "WHAT..YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME". "Yes sir $50 since its an exotic and all". "You know what...tell you boss to shove it up his a** and f*** off ." (the 5 people that were waiting for their cars to be completed all stopped talking for a sec while this was going on then they all started laughing and couldn't believe the shop was trying to screw me because I had a Ferrari and not a Ford or something.)

With that I left and took the car down the road to a Parts Plus. Told the man behind the counter what I was driving and my issue...so he said "take it around back and we'll help you out right now". So they fixed the tire and I slip the tech $25 bucks and took off (it was his first time working on a Ferrari for him (he was over joyed). He said to me "this is better then last nights sex with the wife...haha".

So sorry I didn't attend the Rally hopefully I can make it to next years with a little less problems.

Mike (with the cursed 328)
