    Here's a little GTG started by some Porsche guys over on Rennlist.com- It's every Sunday weather permitting at the Starbucks on Rt 9 in Southboro guys start arriving 9:00am-10:00am. I'll be there on April 25 with my 355- Hope a few other Fcar owners can stop by and say Hi- Here's the info form Rennlist-

    "A few years back we used to do this meet on a regular basis as soon as the weather warmed up. It was a lot of fun and there were some really cool cars that were on display.

    In the end, I was the only car that showed up the last few times and the GTG just fizzled out.

    Any interest in resurrecting this gathering?

    Good coffee and car talk sans drive was the old way.

    This newer event could incorporate a drive after coffee (or tea)....

    Directions:

    Tomasso Trattoria is located at 154 Turnpike Road, which is the eastbound side of Route 9, in Southborough, MA. Our building is on the site of the former White's Corner Restaurant.

    From the East, Boston/Mass Turnpike Westbound
    (Route 90 W)
    Exit Mass Pike at Exit 12 (Rte. 9) in Framingham. After toll booth, follow signs for Route 9 West, Marlborough/Worcester. Stay on Route 9 for approximately 2 miles. Turn left at the traffic light in front of our building, across from the Sudbury Reservoir, and enter the parking lot.

    From the West, Route 495/Mass Turnpike Eastbound
    (Route 90 E)
    Exit Mass Pike at Exit 11A (Rte. 495). Go north on Route 495 and take the first exit, Exit 23A, onto Route 9 East. Right after crossing Route 85 you will come to a traffic light at Breakneck Hill Road. The light is about 2 miles from the Route 495 exit. 154 Turnpike Road is on your right at the corner."

    Jay,

    I don't think we have met yet...but weather permitting , car permitting, I will come by with my Testarossa.
    I live about 2 miles away from that Starbucks, in Framingham.
    I was out enjoying the TR with my daughter today, when I started having what I think was fuel pump issues.
    If its not raining in the morning and the car is not acting up I will be there...

    The guys over at Rennlist have been trying to revive this- I believe there was a smallish group of guys who were doing this years ago- Took my 911 to the last one. Just a casual group. Would love to get some of the nicer vehicles from the area to show up every now and again.

    I'm going to try hard to be up tomorrow by nine. It's actually near my work, so it won't be hard to find the place. This is on the 495 side.

    Rain scared away the Porsche guys-

    I did get the chance to see Paul's AMAZING TR- Perhaps the best in the country... very humbling.

    My 355 looked like a 280Z next to that magnificent beast...

    I'm hoping with Allen's help we can get a quasi- permanent meeting place together- and start a little bit of a casual group- Why should the CT guys have all the fun.

    Jay,

    Thanks for the comments, but your car did not look anything like a 280Z next to the TR.

    Your 355 looks amazing as well... you also forgot to mention, that you could not even hear my car running next to your car! So sad.

    It would be great if we could get a convenient spot soon that everyone likes, as that would provide us nearly 6 months of Sundays to hook up and make some new freinds.

    It was great to meet you...see you in a few weeks.

    Allen, it was fun being with you too!

    Regards

    Paul

    For all us F-car owners here in the Boston Burbs- Let's try and get a regular Saturday or Sunday spot- To many cool cars and cool people to not meet up now and again.

    I heard that only 2 Porsches showed last week. I don't think its really being revived, or at least not on a weekly basis.

    Did the FoNE event last Saturday, so Sunday turned out to be family time.
    This Sunday is mothers day guy's...so if any of you married guys with kids, are that stupid to show up, you could end up sleeping in those beautiful cars.
    I have a really understanding wife when it comes to my car fetish, but I really don't want to sleep in the Testarossa.

    Weather permitting...I am in for 5/16 around 10:00am

    have a great weekend

    If you guys don't mind an Esprit V8 tagging along, I've got a Starbucks gift card that could use a workout. It's good to see more events in the metrowest! Coffee and chat is great, but the mention of a drive afterwards did me in :)

    You bet! I mean, they let me hang out (the enemy! lol) so you should actually fit right in.

    I'm going to the Newport Concours and other stuff Sunday, so I hope you'll be there for that!

    Jay,

    Am I reading that right that you own Tomasso's? I went there for a work function a couple years ago, got the spicy pasta dish that was very tasty! Best of Luck!
