But I thought the whole intent in all of this is to draw inspiration from each other's cars and what pointers we can share, etc. I am baffled with how can this sort of thing go on if we are meeting at night? Maybe I am missing something.

I would be up to meeting in the dead of the afternoon on a Sat or Sunday in an empty parking lot where everyone could look over each others cars and whatever. That is what I thought this was going to be. Even if we go together at 5 exactly how much daylight would we have to work with by the time everyone arrives.

But if the intent here is to form some sort of social club with the focus on getting together and having drinks and some eats, then I apologize because i did not know

for now, I'm good for anytime on a Sunday (once a month)... time? for me, anytime during the day as long as we get sufficient ample of time to see and inspect each others SCs before it gets dark and maybe trade some secrets about this vehicle and of course, comraderie!!

this is just my starting thoughts and please everybody should give their inputs, thanks....

Yes the priority is to share our joy of the SC430 and compare mod ideas, questions etc. but with shared interest comes friendship and a good time within each person's character and possibilities. I bet in this group there's a pretty diverse and wide range of folks - this baby boomer can't run fast any more but sure have fun with the Silver Bullet and get the support to go out every once in a while too

Default Set a date

We are into Feb now, so I think we should just set a date and place. Even if only a few can make it, it's a start. I will make the commitment to be there... so let's get the word out!

Wow that is quite a haul for those of us who live in the DC/Md area. I cringe everytime I got to drive to Rt 28 in virginia. I mean it is quite a distance. I am certain the location is really amenable for those of you who live in the Reston/Vienna area, which is perhaps most of you

I've been following this thread for a while but, I'm chiming in late to the party, sorry about that.

I'm interested, and might be able to make the 22nd.

Silly (or not-so-silly) question - Would folks have a preference as to which car I bring? I can either bring the 2003 SC430; dirty, scratched, and looks like all the others. Or I could bring "the other car".
