We started out on a cool cloudy May day, and ended up the same way...a real let down after a top down, warmer than usual April. We started out at our usual spot, Jim and Beth Shea's house in Attleboro Mass.
The destination we planned was Wayne Carini's dealership, the F40 Garage in Portland CT. Wayne is famous for obtaining high end classic cars for his clientele. His efforts can be seen on the cable TV show "Chasing Classic Cars". He has a standing offer of "Coffee and Cars" to anyone who comes on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the rain and cool weather had chased all the classic cars home by the time we got there. We got a chance to talk about the cars in the dealership though, and Wayne's salespeople were gracious hosts, offering coffee and cars, as advertised.
From the F40 garage, we took a leisurely ride through the Connecticut countryside to just over the RI border and stopped for lunch at Snow's Clam Box...Great food, a Miata Mingle tradition.
We ended the day at Jim and Beth's as usual for coffee an'.
Enjoy the Pix!
