We used to have a good sized group in the Denver metro that got together once or twice a month for a drive. It all seemed to fall apart during the economic downturn a few years back. Many of us are still in contact with each other; we will have to see what the warm weather brings.
If you do a search in this topic under my screen name you will find many threads from our adventures from a few years ago.Two of the best were the epic Blue Mystery and Aussie runs.

The Aussie runs were great drives. I did a couple of those with you guys.

I still have my hat, everyone asks about it at cars and coffee.
Good to hear from you, I hope all is well.




How about a roll call of the old group, I’m curious how many of you still monitor this forum.
You know who you are.

That did sound like a very good deal if it's what you want.

Maybe we can go out to the Cars and Coffee next month, I'll bring the Challenger.

I like trips #1 and #2 for sure. Already been to the Leadville area so the third trip isn't as exciting for me but I would still go for sure if we got some cars together. Another idea, how about a cruise to the top of pikes peak once weather allows? I've been up there once and the views are incredible!
