    looking at the 2006 flickr PCA link Nick posted above it verifies for me we have had cars and coffee for much longer than six years. I had been going to cars and coffee back when I had the 2002 Yellow 360 Modena. I bought that in 2004-5 maybe? who knows the Actual start Date? Kevin W or Joey G certainly would have a handle on that date. Jon

    For historical reference, our local C&C was proposed by Jon (Pearlcoupeg35) Wright, Kevin, Drew, and a couple of others on March 3, 2007.

    Here is the thread, with a link to the thread that started it all...

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/mid-atlantic-region-usa-pa-de-md-dc-va-sponsored-competizione/353579-old-school.html


    All of our appreciation goes to the OG's! Thanks for starting this. I am really glad to have been a part of this thing.

    From meeting Bob Craig, our resident Wookie, photographer and driver, to learning metrosexual fashion and eyewear from Jon Walton, it has been an experience I will never forget. This, of course, to say nothing of the sensitivity training I received working with JoeMac. The guy cries like a sixteen year old girl watching beaches. Oh, and how could I forget Nick's fake accent....the guy is from QUEENS!!!!!!!

    My highlights definitely include every drive that put my car behind Steve's old 355, getting a ride in Don's bats^it insane Lotus, Jon's hillclimb exercise in the Scud---that boy can drive--- and doing hot laps with Ed in his Scuderia... and of course, getting high of the exhaust fumes on Bob's 308 before he got it fixed. Nothing says MAYDAY like driving 60MPH on a winding road while hallucinating on carbon monoxide ;)

    Guys, You've given this grumpy balding schmuck some great memories and I thank you all.

    Now if we can all just agree that the Mondial was the sexiest B^tch ever to grace that stinking parking lot, I promise I will behave





    for 10 minutes :p

    I have a few pictures of your yellow 360, but I think they were also from 2007. This was taken July 21, 2007 on a C&C field trip to Algar where it was for sale. Was it yours?

    JoeZaff, thanks for pulling up the historical foundation(s) of our C&C group. It's been a ball, hasn't it?

    So we're not ready for the ten year anniversary, but we could celebrate the 3/3/07 birth of the group now if we so desire. With so many of the regulars coming to the big rally in April, perhaps this could be an appropriate time to celebrate the event?

    The 360, and for a few minutes a silver Porsche GT3RS were at Algar on trade for the yellow cruise missile Barchetta.

    Jon, I have been involved since 06 when you contacted me to see if I wanted to go to Reading. You had the yellow 360 and we started hanging a lot then. I'm not at my computer, but I think my first photos of C&C were 07. One of the first things i hooked up with you guys at Mid Atlantic GP when Nick was working on his shifter in the parking lot. I think Joey G. And maybe Drew. Mark was there on his street bike.

    Some definitely flashbacks...


    If we do a reunion, can it please...PLEASE be after 11am? My social life and having to kick company out of bed in the morning is hampering my ability to venture out before such times.



    But ya, I'm in for a reunion. Got new toys too.

    That maybe true, but unless the New York Mets play in The Motherland, that photo I have of you, that one legged prostitute named Trix, and four pounds of weed outside the stadium seems to have been taken in the good old USA.

    Just because you have an atlas, Wikipedia and take accent lessons from Madonna doesn't make you European. The witness relocation program may be shuffling you to Texas because the streets are too hot here, but you aren't fooling the F-chat police. :D


    FYI folks, next time you hear from Nick, he will be pretending he is Japanese :p

    No Lambos in our neighborhood that I know of...but you never know what's in the garages of that 15,000sqft house up the street. I call it Hogwarts. :)

    Love that plate! But, that's not it either...sort of a matte black GTR. I forget, but I don't recall it being a vanity plate.

    Maybe I should be more specific - Kevin from Wawa (I call it Media, or Middletown, but some call this area Wawa - it's the area behind Wawa corporate up to Forge Rd).

    If it's the same Kevin, he owned a Gallardo for about 3 months...back in 2008. Highlight of that car, when the kids at the Boys and Girls Club used it as a climbing apparatus. :D

    Oh, that's not him. I don't recall a matte black GTR at C&C.

    I do live in Wawa.....no black GTR though. Had a white GTR. I took some time off of Saturday mornings last summer as the kids had a conflicting schedule. Can't wait to get back out there as the weather gets warmer.

    We are neighbors...moved in about a year ago.

    There is a GTR that rips through on Darlington to New Darlington from Rt 1...not that we all haven't done it. :)
