New England and Make A Wish / Exotic Car Show 2004

[Jeff Torrey]

Updates-

I may have another sponsor. Got a call from an upstart driving school, looking to set a table at the show.

I heard the first public service announcement on WZLX Boston Radio today for the Northeast Exotic Car Show.

The NSX Club has 25 reservations and will be donating $600.00 to Make A Wish.

Handed out my last few posters today. Just left the local Dodge Dealership, I set off half the car alarms in the parking lot when I started the car to leave.

Things have sure changed in this world. Girls today don't want to commit to one guy! (try 5) When I was a kid you had to almost promise marriage to get anywhere. I've never had the priviledge to have female friends since I got married at 22. They were always friends of my wife and they were married also. I've always traveled with the guys!! Make a wish is a great cause! I'm in for any donations! Lets take a kid on a Viper cruise!!!

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

I have a good idea for the Make a Wish thing. We'll have dinner, hit the strip bars, take some strippers for rides, and start making wishes.

[Dave Dugal]

Hello all.

I'd like to take all attendees travelling for our Exotic Car Show out to dinner Friday night at an excellent local restaurant called Mikata Japanese Steakhouse. Once Jeff Torrey gets a headcount, I'll make reservations.

Mikata is similar to other tepanyaki (sp?) hibachi-style Japanese steakhouses. Everyone sits around a big rectangular cooking surface while our chef does his knife flipping and puts on a show. The food is standard fare: steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and my favorite - lobster. They also have an award-winning sushi bar.

The food tab is on me as appreciation for you guys helping us making our first-ever Exotic Car Show a huge success!

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Ok I need a head count from the NY/CT/NJ guys driving up friday. Please include the co-pilot, if you have one.

Rich- I met Rob from Newburyport on Saturday and we drove down to the Bull Run together. Great guy to talk to and hang with. His silver car was in fine form too.
I had pretty high expectations for my day in Lambo Land, I didn't factor in the Pink Polo sweater and high roller Gallardo boys. But there were some great people there too.

The Viper owners know how to throw a party (you'll see , look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

 

[FLX109]

Hey Jeff,
Is there a time or meeting spot set for us in the morning or do we just show up?

Hey Jeff,
should I come without a shirt?

FLX

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Bill- I was thinking about the T-Shirt just today. I have been carrying them the last few weeks hoping I'd see you.

I'll bring them on Saturday.

Nice Car, 96...was that the first year for the GTS?...Dave has some shirts too. Stripes through the back plate huh, sweet. We could use some help if you want to sell some shirts for the club...Stock exhaust? Should be nice weather on saturday. No caravan for the show, I'll be there at 7am. What kind of tires MXX3 or Pilot Sports?
