Jerry I will look forward to seeing that beautiful beast in person as I will be there as well, although just as a spectator. I remember your GTR from a past Saturday cars and coffee at Amelia.

Beautiful Car. I was going to attend but had a conflict. All the Best with it!

JSwan724

I hope I can do at least half as good as you do with the Cars and Coffee pictures.

Many thanks for the compliments.

Best regards

Thought I would bump this and wish you all the best of luck this weekend.

Looking forward to some pics, hopefully!

JSwan724

Thanks very much!!

I’ll do my best but I wish I had received some professional instruction from you beforehand.

It should be a good day in the 80’s

I feel for you, Jerry. I've had my GT coupe and roadster out exactly once in 4 1/2 years in the rain. That's what an AWD SUV is for.

JSwan724

This fog was like the “pea soup” fog many military alumni or boaters have experienced. In addition, the humidity was so bad it was almost like rain.

As they say it’s the other guy you have to watch out for in these conditions.

Too much risk involved.

Best regards

Ironically, the last time I drove my GT roadster in heavy (and unexpected) fog was the morning the helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant and all of those other unfortunate people crashed in Calabasas. I drove by the crash site about 25 minutes before the crash and thought to myself what a surprise it was to be in such heavy fog that morning. Fog can be deadly. For anyone who wants to know just how deadly, Google "Tule fog."

You made the correct decision. But there is always next year.
