Should add I read the last stretch of Blue Ridge Parkway has been re-opened after Hurricane Helene. Should be some nice easy runs in there according to Blue Ridge Public Radio. https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2025-09-16/stretch-of-blue-ridge-parkway-reopens-restoring-access-to-craggy-gardens-and-mount-mitchell

Lemme know.

Okay I was thinking of taking a 7 camping this weekend. Where we going? Have some buddies camping at a campground so would be totally do-able in a 7.

I love it. Looks good and also super functional.

lol no I’m good with videos. I’m not blending in anywhere in a Viola 7. lol. On that note, if people care, here’s a tiny timelapse. Yoram teaching me I’m a crap driver. Longer video later.

Okay to put videos on the wide weird internet? @Yoram

I’m around if anyone wants to cruise anywheres this Saturday Sunday (June 7/8). Got Intel that a new RMC kit was dropped in Asheville this week so soon enough there will be another 7 in the upstate/WNC lineup. Almost always up for coffee/food. If there weather I can even bring a car with, you know, doors. lol.

Hey, we’re in Greenville South Carolina and would be able to host a gathering and cookout before the drive. Negotiating with wife and entire household schedule.

Oh yeah. Late to the thread but we went. 7.2 and all. Great meeting Joe and that EXCELLENT 67! We wandered, a lot. Then ate, then wandered more. My usual cars and coffee tactic is arrive early then Irish goodbye about an hour later lol. This event was… protracted. For me. My first Euro. The hybrid theme was… something. No offense, but their copywriter could’ve done better imo. To be perfectly honest was a bit of a weird vibe for me. Only the 2nd “car show” I’ve paid to participate in…. The other was Special Olympics, for the kids. Anyways, some interesting cars. Strange to see an F40 reflected in a yellow Testarossa and *neither* of those win either of the Ferrari categories. Those were won by rather blasé Italians, in my opinion. Met some cool people though. Got a t-shirt. Stunner of a day. Would’ve maybe been better spent with a couple folks in cars on some twisty roads. But I had some kids sit in 7.2. Makes me happy that it makes others happy. That’s the entire point. That and blats and very tight curves. lol

100 percent will do. Asheville Cars and Coffee early this Saturday (April 19) with 7.2 and my son if anyone is interested. Held at Prescott Auto Reserve. 9-noon. I’ll be there early and Irish goodbye halfway thru, as usual lol. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fSc1sXvdJbtQ6Rrz5?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

lol Bill we were just the other side of the F40 from you. I stopped by a few times but you and the Tiger were pOpULaR!

Yeah. Good idea. Let’s go find out in person Bill!

@Austin David and I looking to do some curvy mountain runs in the upstate SC/Western NC and Tennessee areas. Tail of the Dragon and surrounding, etc. Good weather for it coming up. Any interest?

And thank you. I’m not super duper mechanically inclined in all areas (electrical by far my weakest) and stuff gets by me. It’s why I find pros.

lol me frantically googling.
