Thumbs up Downers Grove Cruise Nights on Friday - 6/8/07

It was nice to meet some 6SpeedOnline guys last Friday at the Downers Grove Cruise Night. This is usually a hot rod cruise in, but we set up a series of exotic sports cars grouped together and drew a bit of attention! It was fun, great meeting you guys!

This cruise in happens every Friday night in Downers Grove. Nothing was planned in advance here, we all just saw each others cool cars and grouped them together. I had no idea these guys were from 6SpeedOnline until they introduced themselves and I saw their custom license plate frames.

I'll probably get there in an hour, around 7:30pm... in a white / cobalt blue 997 GT3.

Hey,
I think I saw you driving on Main St. I was the black 911 carrera in front of you. I was going to wave you over, but you had turned away before the tracks. We parked in the subway parking lot. From what I saw in the rearview mirror you car looks great! Next time we will set a meeting spot.

Audi(sp?), Jim and Phil,
It was nice meeting you guys. You all have great cars and bike! Jim your 997 GT3 is absolutely gorgeous. I love the white/cobalt combo. Audi, your Ruf 550 is a beast. Phil, it sounds like your 930 is going to be quite the track car. Next time we need to do a drive before so we can see our cars in action.

I agree Vik... I end up going every Friday night but it would be nice to see some more 6SpeedOnline people there.
