Default Upon arrival at the restaurant.

All. I'll be in the parking lot at the restaurant and have a white vert with a red top. Unhingd will be with me. His is BRG coupe. I made a reservation under Bourne for 1130 in case anyone arrives early. I made it for 10-12 people just to be safe on numbers.

See you all shortly

Perfect weather, terrific roads, good meeting you all today. I'm sure turka and others will have better shots, until then here are two quick pics:

It was great meeting you all, thank you for being so welcoming and answering my endless questions about the chassis! Great cruise!

The Unhingedmobile (BRG) is a highly tuned and lowered V6, so it's closer to a V7. Plays well with both 6s and 8s.

My V6 has plenty of power and responsiveness for street driving and kept up fine on Sunday. Bigger HP will get you around the racetrack faster (at least on the straights) and will win at a stoplight challenge. But for sprited driving in the twisties, the V6 is fine.

The things I do miss with the base V6 are the bigger brakes which come on the S and R, and the lack of a factory LSD option. Will get those on the next one

The Rs were banned from this event. One base, one V6S and one V8S.

It was great fun. You will note however in most of these photos the wings were not deployed......unlike the Lobster Run where they were deployed constantly! We did have some faster stretches but this route was all about the turns and gear changes....the 6s did great, I was just in front making lots of noise.

Oh wow that's awesome! Now if they would just pay me or give me a great rate on an R Coupe that would be awesome

I'd like to see the speedometer of the lead car - keeping it under 45, no doubt.

The rear wing gives us away

Ah, but a real F-Type aficionado would know that the spoiler deploys at a lower speed on the convertible than the coupe.

Great pictures!
