I can't make a commitment for the 18th but, it definately sounds like a great idea. Other than Schaumburg, maybe somebody could contact Route 66 dragstip and we overrun it with XF's for a day. That would make an awesome picture for a calendar. (Is partial to the dragstrip since I live across the street from it) Tuesday and Thursday nights are Test and Tune, we could all hit the track and see who's got better reaction times than the other guy. Hell, we all know we don't own dragstrip worthy cars

There's always Chicagoland Speedway, a herd of XF's on the track or infield would be a good pic too.

Peace!

I can not make the 18th, busy... busy... busy...

I'll have to catch up with everyone on the next get together.

Hell... I've only had time to take the car cover off, a brisk cleaning and a short neighborhood drive.

One of these days I'll have to do my first oil change, maybe it will be before the warranty runs out, and I've still not broken 5K miles on the old girl.

That's so sad.

XFH, break the honey-do jar and get that baby out of the garage. Tell everyone you need to do some ironing. And then go get the wrinkles out of that beautiful car.

And put a perma grin on your face.

I would imagine by around 4:00.
You could also just meet us at 11:30 and not take the cruise and be home when you need to be.
Hope ya can at least stop by and meet & greet

The forcast is for rain. They are wrong most of the time, but is this going to be a "rain or shine" meet?

i think they are calling for maybe a few showers at the most.Our local weather here in rockford said it should be mostly clear temp around 65.Hopefully in a couple days we will have a better idea but i think we should be ok.

I will be at Starbucks at 11:00 am on Sunday rain or shine.
I believe FP will be to.
It's up to each of you to decide if you are gonna drive in rainy weather or not.
Hopefully even if it rains it won't be a all day thing.
Hope to still see many come out. Gary
