Kicking some ideas around for the Fall Party.

[Art S.]

Hi Yale,

I'm not sure that I would bet in favor... However, I suspect that since the process has begun it will move rather quickly.

Regards,

Hi Tom,

The first fall gathering was Oct 21 or Oct 23, the weather was great and so was the leaf color.

Assuming my car gets done, I plan to attend.

Regards,

Art S.

Hey Art:

Weather was great? Speak for yourself - Judy and I drove over the mountains in snow, sleet, and rain on the way back. I vote for as early as possible.

Cheers
Warren

Oh come on Warren,

Those Avons will be fun in the snow!

Yeah - fun in the snow drift in the ditch along side of the road.

Cheers

Hey Guys,

I would love to do this as a co-pilot (I'm very resourceful and reasonably pleasant company).

I know this area of VT VERY well since my mom lives in Ludlow.

Cheers

O.K. I've decided to work on October 4/5th 2008 for the Fall Party. It's a little earlier than previous years, but the weather might be a little warmer. Look here for more details on events and activities.

I like that date! Count me in. Now remember gang, I will be auditioning for the role of "passenger" on the drive. Contact my agent for a head shot...

[Tom Wilson]

I've already started practicing.

First off, you're going to need narrower shoes!

Tom

[Art S.]

Good lord! Tom W, you need to upgrade to a 330GT, the 250GTE is too tight on you!

Regards,

Art S.

Based on your photo, you have been working on the same darn
piece for four months now. Will we ever see that car on the
ground?

Why?

Warren

The GTE pedals, along with a lot of Ferraris, are very close, so running shoes are often not a good choice.

Actually, Warren was asking why do I need narrow shoes when I can borrow his? That's actually a good question, as his worked well for so many of us last year. My real problem is not obtaining the shoes, but remembering to take them out of the suitcase on the day of the party. Still working on that one...

And Art, I am more of a vintage guy, so will stick with the 250. Those new fangled 330's are a bit to much for me. As for the room, having driven a couple of 250's and 330's (including yours), I can say the headroom for a guy 6'3" is fine, and the leg room works, though I will be installing my drivers seat a little further back. Now if I can only figure out a way to install the windshield a little further forward so my knuckles won't bang against it when steering....

A serious question - are the GTE pedals even closer than the330 pedals? Even with narrow Pumas I have found it convenient to take the pedal pads off to get a bit more room for my fat feet and a bit klutzy footwork.
