Let me know when the gathering gets organized for, I am looking forward to meeting some of the group.

See you soon.
I'm no purist, but carpet just seems wrong somehow. I know the rubber is expensive, still... Just an observation. Pay no attention.

I'm out of action for the foreseeable future. Treat yourself, (don't cheat yourself): drive your Spider.

Speaking of speed

I spoke to Scott at Mugello Motors today. He says for $25 to $30 K he can put twin intercooled turbos on the Mondial. Bump her up to about 425 hp.

I am now saving my pennys

We were planning a weeknight but I'm not too sure if we have interest for even that. Email or PM me and I will get back to you if/when we have a group.

OK, why don't we agree to every 2nd Thurs, starting ........next Thur 5/15, 7pm, In & Out Burger (opposite Costco) Mt View. We can add/minus how often we meet and where each time, there. (Maybe a Sat at Santana Row?)
Cool?

Shouldn't the meet be at an Italian place instead of in-n-out burger?

Keith. I have to agree with the message, (not the delivery )

This thread should be in the event forum and then deleted out of the tech section. It is up to us to keep "our" bb as well organized as possible. Just put up a new thread, send pms to all those who have posted, and then try to delete the old thread, if you can (?)

I'd like to joint too. I will bring my 67 Duetto.
Anyone will be at the Palo Alto concours? I will take my 69 1750GTV for the drive and to show my 67 Duetto.
