Memorial F & C Run 12.05.10 for Gerard Sasso

It was defenately the largest turn out ever. I would have thought it was more than 30 cars.
This run has been going since mid 2001. The most I ever rember was about 20 cars. In the forum's early days not sure if it was 2001 or 2003 can't recall.
Ric Danger was up for a visit from melbourne. He had just bought Juffas tweety. so maybe someone can shed some light on this as far as what year it was. Pictures do exist of that run.

For those who are getting confused. This forum did start in june 2001 or some time around then. The reason most of us longterm members have 2003 membership is because in 2003 we had a fatal crash or something anyway we all had to re-join.

So it was great to see some old faces together with all the young ones.

Hey Stan,

Ric bought Malibu Stacey. Juffa's first love. Tweety was just sold recently.
Yep, 2001 is the earliest I can remember.

I found the original forum when I was looking for an MX-5, or maybe just after I bought Malibu.

I never got to go for a joy ride up and down the street.

lol...pretty much, I tried to take a photo of everyones car

I just wanted to recognize the efforts of everyone who took the time out to come down and support Alex in this time of need. I'm sure she appreciated the overwhelming support!

Gerard, your spirit lives on...

Well done guys and girls. A very fitting tribute to a great guy. It would be great to see more pics, even if they are a bit blurry.

When the chef saw this lot descend upon the counter to order their food, he said a silent prayer to the Iron Chef Gods, furiously bit in to a capsicum, clinked his knives together and went in to the freezer to open a new box of frozen salt and pepper calamari.
