    Thank you all for attending and braving the cold. Turned out to be a nice day . . . but later in the afternoon. Sorry the Maser QP Sport didn't make it. Let's do one more C&C on Dec 3rd, weather permitting. That's the same day as the FCA-MAR Holiday Party in Annapolis, which starts at noon, always a great fun event with good food, drink and entertainment. If you're interested in attending, send your money in now 'cause it is limited by space. Go to http://www.fca-mar.com/ClubEvents.asp for details.

    That's possible if there's an interest. Anyone else up for twice a month as suggested? Actually, I was going to suggest that this next meeting, Dec 3rd, be the last for the winter and we pick-up again on Apr 7th. We could try the 7th and the 21st of Apr and see how it goes. Any thoughts, pro or con?

    yeah twice a month is good.. i hate missing one.. then I basically missed almost 2 months

    On another note, anyone want to meet up and go for a drive to Katie's in Great Falls? There's an early group there from 7 to 9.. I plan on going around 9 so there's parking.

    FYI -- most cars are gone by 9 due to merchants in the shopping center opening and wanting parking for their actual customers. Katie's coffee shop is happy to have the car event. The other business are not.

    I'm going to try to be at the Lansdowne Starbucks around 8:30 a.m.

    I'm going to need to leave early (about 9:30) to hit the road for a trip to Annapolis that day.

    I'll be there. Powerpig may be coming by for a farewell coffee with us. I've asked him to invite his Benz buddies, too. Not 100% yet, but I think this Lansdowne C&C will be a goodbye celebration of sorts for Kevin aka Powerpig.

    I can be there.
    Probably get there around 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.
    I'll be inside the Starbucks, staying warm. :)

    If the weather is lousy or if there's salt on the road, I'll drive a DD.

    Probably not going to make it -- too cold...

    If I *happen* to wake up early and manage to climb out of bed I'll see how it feel outside, but most days now I hide under the covers till 8:45ish...

    So sad, I live right down the road from this meet and haven't made it out yet. Skipping Katie's and coming to this! Weather for Saturday looks sunny and nice. Been some time since I have chatted with a few of you and looks like some new people to meet as well.

    Good to see everyone today.
    The weather was fantastic for January 7th, wasn't it?

    Here is a pic of my blue 550 parked out in front of Starbucks this morning.
    Many thanks to Bill (DinoDriver) for detailing the paint job on it.

    So at about 8:45ish this a.m., a group of three modern Ferraris (360s/430s?) , a 250GTE and a silver 356 Porsche drove thru the Lansdowne Town Center parking area adjacent to the Starbucks, apparently didn't see anything going on and drove off. Ahh, guys, stop>park>come on over to the Starbucks>meet some new folks>then we can go see your cars and chat some more. In any case, it was a beautiful morning and we made some new friends. Toggie, your 550 sparkled brilliantly in the sun.

    I wish I'd taken a better look, Ron. Looks stunning in the pic. Walked right by her on the way in, too. I'll take a better look next time, but really should have appreciated a fresh detail on TDF given the chance. It's awfully hard to keep it perfect. Congrats on the freshening.

    Bright side - We would have run out of room in Starbucks.
