As both of my kids have swim lessons at 9:00 am, I cannot make the drive. However, I will make an effort to be in Lambertville at 7:15 just to meet some of you. 7:15 still the time? at

Lambertville Municipal Court
25 S Union St, Lambertville, NJ 08530?

Stefan

P.S. Car will most likely NOT be clean.

We're not taking the freeway, we'll be taking county roads.

Default What a great run!

Well let me be the first to thank Wayne for coordinating another great run!

Great roads, well executed, stunning scenery at a fun yet safe pace. Also, again a really nice bunch of people.

As I didnt have my camera with me, would love to see pics from others!

Thanks!

Phil

Here are some photos taken today at the Final Fling Highpoint Drive.

It was great to see our regulars again and to meet others for the first time.

Thanks to AndyK for donating photos - others will follow as they come in.

A full set of photos can be found here -

I look forward to us getting together again in the Spring! (Don't get Cabin Fever!)

Thanks Phil - it was great to see you again - It's always good to have our NY friends join us.

Photos posted above - let me know if you'd like copies of any.

If anyone else has photos, please please, please email copies to me if you don't mind sharing and I'll post them up for others to see.

Thanks!

Thanks for a great outing, wellardmac! It was a very safe, very enjoyable ride. Except that person who got a ticket for double the speed limit! (Just so no one gets a bad rep around here, I feel the need to disclose that the limit at the time was for some reason 15mph, bah!) Looking forward to the next outing, which will hopefully be on a Sunday so I can sleep first.

Thank you!

It was great to meet you and your lovely White Carrera S. I think I met my next car.

I think we'll have to stop using that backroad now that I know that police are likely to be lurking to give tickets. I'm amazed that someone was caught. Getting ticketed for 36mph in a 15mph zone is just wrong... especially when the road could easily have handled 40mph. The recipient was just unlucky to be at the back of the line.

Nice Pics... Our Fall Foliage tour is next Sunday the 21st... Looks like everyone had a great time... What was your final tally of cars?

Fall is really late this year... A lot of green trees in those photos...

We had 34 cars on this drive - a perfect number.

The wacky weather has messed with the foliage this year. I was in Massachusetts all week and there's still a lot of green up there also. Things might look better by the 21st. Connecticut had the best foliage that I saw, but it's still not peaking there either.
