A few of us GT owners were together this afternoon, several of us will definitely be at Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning. However, I'll be driving a green Lambo Murcielago, not my GT. The evening at the Pavilions will be brutally hot (too hot for me!).


+1 for Saturday Cars & Coffee.

-1 for Saturday afternoon/evening Pavillions. = too hot.

Dinner .... maybe???

I have been gone for the last two days but am back online now. I can set up a dinner at Don & Charlie's at 7pm on Sat. If anybody want's to come I will stop by the Pavillons Car Show from 5:30pm, leaving for the restaurant at 6:50. I don't think it will be unbearably hot then.

All,
I have been in the hospital for a few days. Had a mini stroke on Tuesday. It left my left side a little weak for now. It's hard for me to type so I can't put things together. Chip, if you could get an idea of how many people want to go to Don & Charles Saturday night and make reservations it would be great. Spddmnjay and I, along with our significant others, will head down to phoenix early Saturday afternoon.
Thanks
Rich

Apologies dudes and dudettes; spent the entire day at lake pleasant with the other rednecks cooking slowly. I'm too wiped out to drive out that far.

Evelyn and I had a GREAT time. It was very good to see old friends again. After dealing with health problems for the last 9 months, we really needed to get out. I feel better already.

Yes. Great turn out.

Good to see everyone and always great to meet new members.

Rich, thanks for starting this thread and I am glad you are doing better.

I think it may have something to do with listening to the beautiful harmony of the GT's exhaust purring ...... growling. :cheers

Rich -

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Take good care of yourself, buddy. Will be in Tempe at the end of the month. Let me know if there are any good shows or GT get-togethers happening near there.

regards,

Jeff

Because of working so much this past week we missed this thread. Thanks to the little GT birdies who told us about Rich & co. being in town. Started with cars and coffee in the morning, Scottsdale Pavillions car show in the afternoon, and dinner at Don and Charlie's in the evening. And what a turnout. GT owners from Canada, California, Ohio, and parts of Arizona were here. Very nice to see and meet everyone! And one of the best things...driving with the windows down, following 2 twin turbo GT's on the roads in beautiful Scottsdale Arizona. Priceless! Rich and Evelyn, Glad to hear you are making progress as you are infinitely priceless!
