Welcome to NYC.

Saaaammy!! How's life treatin' ya?

You gonna bring some malt liquor for the rest of us at the Tobay Festival this weekend?

At least bring some for yourself since all the roachcoach ever sells is coffee. You'll end up with the shakes before the first autocross event.

btw, you must be as busy at work as I am this afternoon! I think bosses of Vette guys should use the CF thread-count as a metric when performing performance appraisals!! haha!

Hey, you wanna get me fired???

Luckily, I'm the IT Director at my company so I'm in charge of internet usage. That's like putting Homer Simpson in charge of a nuclear power plant!

Haha! Yea, being an IT guy (I'm one of 'em too) has its advantages... like auditing home drives for *.avi;*.mpeg;*.jpg and *.mp3 with a blank CD-R and burner handy!

You know, there's enough guys in IT in our group to start our own company!!

If anyone is in the area and wants to hook-up to talk about Vettes over a beer, give me a shout

Ok guys, all this talk of Hooters, beer, malt liquor and shady goings-on under the Queensborough bridge is making me wish we were all talking and laughing about it at a bar somewhere. Anyone wanna venture out over the weekend for a beer or two?

Cheers,
Ian.

I doubt it , but just maybe......!!!!! As for Nadds...he was last seen cruising the Viper rooms with NO mention of him being a Vette Owner...hes a complete poser!!!

Arranging a meet-and-greet sounds good. I'm on the East side of Manhattan at 123rd. My office is in Midtown (MetLife building). I'm free virtually anytime really.

Cheers,

Ian I drive my lowered Z06 in Manhattan with CCWs fairly frequently. Let me know if you want to go for a ride and relive some of that corvette nostalgia.

Also, if you're interested, my car is going to be for sale shortly
