Oh yeah ~ on the way home I met up with Photographer Phil on the Merritt Pky and 'shot' him at speed!

I was racing home to get the pictures of the day's activities 'developed' Frank!!

I was hoping that we would get the chance to run side by side through the tunnel, which we did. Not quite the same experience as your Hawaiian Ferrari tunnel encounter, but pleasurable none the less!

Ross and Brenda,

Thank you so much for opening your absolutely beautiful home to all of us CTZCC members. You are quite kind, gracious, and hospitable.

The event was fabulous, I had a GREAT time. The weather was perfect, the food fantastic, all of the cars amazing, but the company kept was truly the best part.

Frank - You're the MAN.

Peace.

Ross....BOD and Volunteers

I echo what Tommy stated on yesterday's event. I truly appreciate the hospitality, gathering with friends and the great day. I was able to meet and make new friends in the process. I love this club! :D

One of my personal highlights of the day was zeeing Pat Burnz' newest addition to his growing stable.

This Z sat in a garage for 25 years. Pat pulled the carbs apart and cleaned them up (it shows), and the car ran fine! He threw a set of headers on it just for fun. :D Aside from short test trips around his neighborhood to check the brakes, etc, this trip to the Fall Outing was this Z's maiden voyage ~ the first time it has run in 25 years!

Such little Z victories make my heart happy. :wink:

Frank

As always, this was a great day!

Thanks for everything, Ross: from the chili to the weather (which wasn't chilly) - it was perfect!

Well I was going to post a write-up about yesterday's outing but after reading Frank's there is not much else to say! It was one of the best Z gatherings I can ever remember. Thanks to all who drove short and long distances to be there.

my thanks go out to the president and first lady of this club for opening their home for our fall get-together and also to the officers for an excellent year put in for the membership. even tho i no longer have a zcar, as of now, i still feel part of this club,because of the warm welcome i receive when we get together.this is even more of a reason to look for another zcar, just to be part of this close knit family. who knows', number 22 can be right around the next corner, i am always looking!!!! mike

I want to echo Frank's sentiments and also Thank everyone that visited me at the club store. You helped feed your Z friends.

Thanks Ross and Brenda for hosting this great event.

See you on Wednesday!

Thanks for your hospitality Ross and Brenda. It was a wonderful day. Just about perfect for a top down ride on the Merrit and a day spent in the company of fellow gearheads.
