    Hey all,
    Let's get together this Sunday for morning coffee and a drive thereafter. Charbucks across from Frontenac is the meet up spot. We can discuss a route when we get there.
    8:30 coffee, 9 or 9:15 leave on a run. Hope to see you there. Check out our Facebook page for more updates.
    Best,
    Bill

    I will be there - without my back as it left me me earlier in the week. I am most likely unable to sit that long for the run but will be bringing my neighbor who will be bringing the 458!

    Great pictures and a great turnout. We had more Ferrari's then I have ever seen at any event. Guys drove in from Carbondale 2 hours in a nice 360. Hope the run went well :)

    Almost a 2 hour run. Some traffic. Highway FF was the best. I apoligize to anyone behind me. I blew thru a quart of oil on that run!! Nice to see the 308 & the blue 360 show up. Watching the 308 cruising was something I haven't seen since the 80's on television.

    We had a rough start behind a silver haired gentleman going 40 the entire length of the first great road. But the run was redeemed by a few pleasant stretches. A lovely and gentle drive in the country!
    If we want to continue this sort of drive, we need to get an earlier start. A little too much traffic at the later hour. Cruises can start any time, but a fun run in the country should get rollin before 9.
    4 Ferraris and a Solstice. Good, safe, clean fun.
    Though I had to smile when I saw the "restrict travel, air quality yellow" sign we passed on our way to converting hydrocarbons to howling.

    That was a great time, it was nice to finally meet the people from Fchat for the first time, and Tim, it was good to see you and the "fatcab" again....

    Awesome 355s, 360, 612, 458, fatcab 911......

    Bill, excellent job on taking the lead, it was a fun run...I thought you were finding the slow cars to follow on purpose so that we wouldn't fall too far behind in the "old Magnum car"...unfortunately we had to bug out just a little early to meet another obligation we had today....

    Josh, we were two behind you, but no worries on the oil etc....you just were making sure the mosquitos were dead before we got to where you were, we appreciate that....

    It was really sweet to see the 458 in person, pictures do not do that car justice, and black looks real bad-ass....When the 458 and 612 were getting on the highway, ahhh yeah, what an "amazing melodic symphony of glorious sound".....awesome...I am now ruined for life until I figure out a way to earn a 458....

    Hope we can do this again sometime

    I want to thank everyone on the run for the wonderful experience we had. Red 355, the oil was a bit of a bother, but seeing that car move like that was more than enough to make up for it. My passenger was getting carsick so I backed off a bit. There should definitely be more meets or runs. Now that I have attended one I am hooked. Also the Solstice guys are now thinking very horse related thoughts. Might have another one to join the group soon.

    I'm really sorry about the oil. Engine must come out for it to be fixed. Was there any oil on your windshield?
    Very nice 360 you got there. I hope you can come to more events. I'll drive caboose on the next run if the engine isn't sorted by then.
