Tony

Say goodbye to Steamer for me Wayne. I will not be able to make that date.

 

[FordPrefect]

Tony, breakfast is the next day, probably about 5am, you'll have to confirm it with Rob.
Brian, damn, I forgot all about the council's annual golf and eat 'til you drop charity event.

Have a great time!!!! Wayne, every time I look at your title it freaks me out! Goodbye to Rob? Did I miss out on some news? Then I realize it's a goodbye lunch, not a goodbye goodbye......
Glad to know Rob's ok. I need to meet up with him and you guys too some day!

 

[FordPrefect]

First I hope Rob is feeling better. I know I cannot get down on Tuesday and that is a disappointment.

Rob, I hope you had a great vacation. Safe trip home.

 

[Steamer]

Sorry for being late replying but was making up for the lost week!! Thanks for all the replies and looking forward to seeing all your happy faces tomorrow for lunch. I plan on being there at 11am to get my room and see you all at Bobbies.
Rob

To make a short story even shorter we all had a very good time. Looking forward to his next visit in 2016.
Pics will be posted later today. Oh...one other thing, Tony has bought another car, I won't kid him about it as at least 5 days have passed since his last purchase so I suppose he was due for a change.

Ok..photos

from right to left.....

Hanks Z06...make him an offer
my 2004 conv. ...always open to offers
Rob's simply amazing rental car
Tony's 6th car (at least) since I've met him

The good news was this time Tony's car was a different colour than the previous so this time we all noticed that something was up.

As it wasn't a 'vette I really didn't pay attention to all the details so Tony may have to fill in all the blanks.
What I do remember is this.... spoiler goes up at 125kph, if rear wheels spin power is transferred to the front. Cup holders disappear into the dash, spare tire is orange, The top no longer goes down.

Rob, I'm sure next spring Tony will have something else for you to look at.

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Great shots Wayne. Wish I could have been there.

Rob, I hope you had a great vacation and are feeling like yourself again.

 

[CaledoniaBrian]

wish I could have made it. hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip home Rob.
About time Tony got himself a new ride.... that old black thing was starting to get dirty.

 

[Steamer]

Morning folks. Up early as I'm still on Ontario time!! Just wanted to say thanks for the enjoyable time at Bobbies. Good food and great company, what more can you ask for. Murray and Brian thanks for the wishes and it was an enjoyable trip and we set two records for Westjet, gaining 25 minutes from Hamilton to Calgary and 15 from Calgary to Comox with the jet stream crossing the continent not were it usually does! And Wayne, if 'Tony shows up in a new car next year I hope he's driving the new Corvette I'm going to win at the Coping event this fall!!!!!

 

[tony]

Well........don't like the idea of putting Porsche data on the Corvette web site [g].

The car is a 2002 Turbo. We picked it up with 19,400km on the odometer !
Essentially just one owner since new. He traded it in for a new Turbo S.
Had it 2 weeks as of today. [ 17th ]. It goes well !
420 HP and 415 ft.lbs.

Tony
and the P car. ps. Brian...had the C4S for 2 years....yea !
