Godspeed. (Which doesn't mean you shouldn't). Then again, and as I informed Unhinged not long ago, do not "exceed your comfort" level in getting here. Whatever the hell that means.

 

i'm more worried about the comfort level of the state troopers.

 

Ok we keep then start at 530....

 

Well getting out of town for this trip can't get here fast enough. Felt a vibration last Thursday that seemed well beyond normal in the wheel. Dropped it off Saturday. Found out today that our glorious roads around here made it all the more likely that a pothole or two were going to wreak a little havoc. Wheel slightly "bent", alignment out of whack and the Pirelli's finally getting to their life limit (15k). All said and done, wheel is now fixed, alignment taken care of but because of the bad timing on needing the car for the lobster run, and the delay in ability to get the rear Michelin SS in time I'm stuck with putting another set of PSS's on the car. Well at least I'll have fresh tires and a straight alignment for the drive. Just crappy timing for this to happen.

 

Crappy timing? Tell that to slojotaa!

See you soon Marko!

 

yeah bad timing, but at least you have fresh kicks for the trip... Good Luck! Drive Safe!!

 

Agreed. Thursday morning just can't get here soon enough.

 

Maybe it's my "N of 1" opinion, but I think the jag alloys are extra soft. I literally bent a wheel on the way home from having a different wheel repaired last fall.

 

The "soft wheel" problem may be wheel specific.

MBourne, Nati,
What wheels do you each have?

 

I was referring to my XF actually, which had wheels very similar to orbits on the F.

 

Well, I know it's early in the night; however, some of you may be starting your travels for the Lobster run. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe trip tonight/tomorrow through your return home. Hope everyone has fun and enjoys this experience and bring the family closer together. Hope to see a bunch of pics from everyone attending this awesome event and thank everyone who participated in the organization. Enjoy!!!!

 

Thank you! Getting launched in about an hour. It will be a wet, but wonderful weekend.

 

Thanks. Forecast isn't good, but so what. I'll have my camera gear, and I imagine we'll still have some good photo ops. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some via iPad.


Check your mailbox for a lobster roll next week.

 

Thanks! We will take many photos and perhaps some videos. Who knows maybe Wayne will have his Velocity Channel crew around. Also we will definitely take food pictures if only to tease you all who could not join us

 

Cool, it will be refreshing to see a bunch of dirty, wet F-Types all together. All we ever get to see around here are pretty, shiny ones.

Have fun!

 

My first leg is over. Safely in my hotel room in Connecticut. Next stop F40.

 

Great! See you around 10-1030 am tomorrow Zach..

Fortunately, no banjos playing in the background.
