Jet Jockey/A4 Pilot

The NYC area for the two great G2Gs (so far). BTW, if others are interested in another G2G this week let me know because I might be here until Monday the 11th.

Shivam picked me up at my hotel in Time Square and we then proceeded to pick up Matt on our way to the restaurant where we met other car enthusiasts for dinner. After dinner I was invited to a Lamborghini meet the next morning.

It was arranged that most of us would meet at Manhattan Motors in the morning. From there we would proceed in a convoy to Brooklyn at a closed down airfield that had been turned into a park. Needless to say the drive down was far from boring.

Have no fear people, I took lots of pictures of the wonderful metal present at the meet (sorry if it is a long post)... Enjoy!


<b>If you are going to go out on the town, might as well go in class, in this case with Shivam's beautiful Sprint Blue RS4.</b>

<b>On the morning of the meet, I got myself down to Manhattan Motors by riding a NYC Yellow Cab. Now I'm sure some of you know what kind of POS these cars can be not to mention the sometimes weird drivers you get. Anyway it was a short ride and I knew something better was around the corner. From Manhattan Motors to the meet I rode in this...

<b>Thanks again to Shivam and Matt for the wonderful outings!</b>

the reason why that GT3 had a sunroof is because at least for the 2007 model year, it was not possible to order a sunroof delete for the 997 GT3 non-RS in the US. At least that's what my dealer told me. Perhaps for 2008 models, Porsche will give US buyers that option, in addition to availability of proper lightweight racing seats and a full roll cage as options.

And that's the exact same color 997 GT3 I want too. ** drools ** I want one bad.

Maybe if a group want to do something this week I could be in.

I assume that meet was at Floyd Bennett Field... how often do they meet up out there?

ESFO

No. But did you notice the girl's stilt legs in the Testarossa pic?

Wow. Excellent indeed. (I agree with you on the Carerra GT...except for the goofy vanity plate.)
