We will need the Wizard's help on the weather for Sunday...what's the prediction???? (I know what the weather channel says, but they've been wrong more than right, so I'm HOPING for GOOD weather, of course!) As long as it's not a downpour, we'll be there....dinner too. Keep us posted here!!! THX....juli

 

[CitySnake]

I'll be there....not sure what I'll be driving, but I'll get there!

Oh GOOD!!! Yeah, same here...for the dinner, we can squeak my VETTE in if it's raining...it'll fit right in with all the RED VIPERS that are usually there, lol....HAH! Then, of course, we'd drive the Viper as long as it's not a downpour on Sunday...remember they DO drive quite nicely in the rain (cleanup is a *****, but who cares...it's only once a year ) CYA soon Scott...off Exit 24--9:15am'ish??

Unfortunately it looks like the WNY guys are going to be out... there is a big storm headed this way, and it looks like we would be driving almost all the way there through it. You guys from the east may get lucky and get there before it hits, so at least you wont have to do much driving in it.

 

[mike & juli]

Perfectly understandable, Dan...though we'll be sorry we don't get to meet you again~!
Holding out hope for Sunday's weather. ~juli

Hey Warfang....wish you could be here too. Not sure what's going on with press tomorrow, it's not just Chuck's show, it's the Saratoga Auto Museum's Spring Show...mega-cars from all over will be there....we'll be but a small fraction of the 'show'. ~juli

 

[mike & juli]

Overcast and cold today. We'll be bundling up...to be windy as well. BUT, hoping for no rain.
We'll meet ya'll at Exit 24, 9:15am'ish...we'll head up about 9:30am, whoever is there at that point.
CYA LATER!!!! ~juli

~juli

The trip back home was uneventful, just the way I like it. I did see some radar just past where Chuck was pulled over last year. I went a different way, less scenic route and more highway, stopped for some refreshment on the way and was home before 6:30. Can you believe I drove up and back, over 400 miles, on one tank of gas? Tony won't be happy about that. lol Oh yeah, the dinner at Log Jam was great, very different but very tasty indeed! Hope to see you and Mike at some other events this year. I guess we all have the same taste in camera's as we do cars.
