Hey Guys, I've been getting emails asking when C&Cs are going to start, so to answer that question our first meet will be May 21, 2017. Hopefully, the weather will be nice and warm, and people will have had a chance to complete their winter maintenance/projects for the upcoming season. I know several of you are already "Regulars," so you know the drill. However, below is info for those who have not previously attended our meets. Location: Starbucks Parking Lot (toward the back), Taunton, MA (65 H Taunton Depot Drive, Taunton, MA 02780) Date: Every other Sunday (Weather Permitting) Starting May 21, 2017. Please check updates that you receive as it will let you know if we are rescheduling or bumping the meet out by a week for other big car events. Our tentative schedule after May 21st is June 11, June 25, July 9, July 23, August 13, August 27, September 10, and September 24th. If the weather remains nice then we will continue to meet in October. Please check this thread for updates to the schedule. Time: 9:30 AM until whenever. Feel free to bring a friend, girlfriend, wife, etc. I know some ladies don't want to be the only girl at a car meet, but don't worry about that, my wife attends about 90-95% of the meets. So chances are your wife/girlfriend won't be the only girl there. Feel free to email or PM me if you want to be sure she is attending. Location Description: The location is perfect for this type of get together. The traffic is light on Sunday mornings since most of the stores are still closed. We often get people who will stop by to look at the cars and ask questions and we have never had any bad experiences. Local patrols also leave us alone which is nice. Please be respectful of the businesses around the location for the meet, and please don't do any high performance driving or launch control demonstrations from the parking lot where we meet, as we do not want to draw any negative attention to our meets. Weather Permitting: Most of us don't mind meeting up on cold or overcast days but rain really spoils this one since we are standing outside. If it's raining or looks like it will assume the GTG is cancelled. I will try to provide updates & reminders so everyone knows when the next GTG will be. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Hi Guys, I hope everyone had a great winter and that you are all enjoying bringing your toys out of hibernation. Our first meet of the season will be May 21st but it will be at a different location (Moose Cafe -see below for address) due to nightly road construction in Taunton from May 19 through May 22nd. Although, the road off the highway is supposed to be open after 5 am each morning, the uncertainty of the condition of the road necessitates a temporary change. Therefore, on May 21st we will meet at the Moose Cafe, located at 1160 Stafford Road, Tiverton, RI 02878. For those who haven't been there, they are not too far from the highway (RT 24), they serve coffee, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and even ice cream. More importantly, they have a large parking lot to the left of the Cafe so that we won't interfere with their customer traffic, and their traffic doesn't have to drive past our vehicles. Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the 21st. Best regards, Dino
Hi Josh, Glad you will be able to join us. Its always nice to meet fellow Fcar owners in the area. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. Oh and remember, tomorrow we are meeting in Tiverton. Best regards, Dino
Hi Guys, Thanks for coming out yesterday. We had a really nice turnout for our first meet. It was great catching up with our regulars: Dan, Bill, Ray, Ed, Ryan, Hans & Barbara, Ken 997, Mike S, Kenny, Noah, Brianna, Nick & Brittney, Gilles, Tom T, and Martin. It was also nice meeting some new attendees at the meet: Simon, Tim, Patrick, Matt, Ricardo. I know I met several other people today but I'm terrible with names. Our next meet will be June 11th and then June 25th. I will update everyone with the location for our next meets during the week before each meet. Hope to have my Fcar back from service before the next meet. Best regards, Dino Below are some photos from yesterday.

I was about to finally attend my first C&C on Sunday. I got in the car, turned the key and that was it! The key would not go past on.! Hopefully I can make the next one.
Hey, sorry to hear your car didn't want to cooperate. Hopefully you will be able to join us for the next meet. Best regards, Dino
I'm ready to go!.. I put in an ignition switch Saturday and made it to tutto italiano on Sunday....was that your car there with the RI plates red on crema with red dash? if so, that's an amazing car!!! Vinny
Hi Vinny, I'm glad to hear that your car is all sorted and ready to go for the next meet. Yes, that was my car at Tutto. Thank you for the very kind words about my car. I saw a dark color 348 with RI plates that I think started with the letter V, wondered if that was you, but I didn't see an owner near the car. Your car looked great too ! I'm looking forward to catching up with you at one of our meets soon. Best regards, Dino
Any more plans to do a Moose Cafe meet? I'd love to get out there and I love the Moose Cafe haha. I've only been to one meet in the past, with my red 360 coupe but that has since been sold, and I am a traitor currently driving a GTR until I can afford to upgrade to a 430 Spider
Hi Tim, It's very likely we will have some meets this season at the Moose. Stay tuned for details. Best regards, Dino

Plenty of our regulars were there, Dan, Hans & Barbara, Noah, Dwayne, Will & Sarah, Ray, Ed, Bill, Gilles, Mike S, Steve (986), Lee, Shamous & Liam, Patrick, Bob, Ron & Stephanie, and Nick & Brittney. Congrats to Ron & Stephanie on their beautiful new silver Carrera Cabriolet. Tim and Dave joined us again and we also had some new attendees, Wade, Billy & Beth, Chris, and a few others I didn't get a chance to meet (several S2000 owners, Vette owners and M3 owner). Dave had a bit of trouble getting his 911 started, but with a push from fellow attendees he got it going again. I look forward to catching up with you guys again soon. Our next meet meet will be September 3rd.
