Moto44 · 10-01-2009, 03:09 PM

You're going to be so excited, a sleeping co-pilot won't make any difference. Have fun!

Randy Chase · 10-01-2009, 03:16 PM

Awesome!

Thomasio · 10-01-2009, 03:17 PM

What could be more fun?! Savor the trip!

ADR3 · 10-01-2009, 04:10 PM

Congratulations and have a safe trip.

Be prepared for people to ask many questions at the gas stations and dozens of people taking pictures with their phone cameras.

To keep from getting bored, count the number of people that stalk you to take pictures and/or try to figure out what the car is. They also seem to see the car and then get on the phone and then stalk you, presumably trying to figure it out while talking to a friend.

I was laughing my butt off yesterday. I was at a stoplight and two ladies, must have been in their 60s, were pointing, smiling and gawking at the car, I presume trying to read the Rossion badge on the back.

RichS · 10-01-2009, 04:31 PM

Congratulations!

Sweet Adrenaline · 10-01-2009, 04:40 PM

CHEERS!

Congrats! And Enjoy...as if I would have to say that

dbisbee · 10-01-2009, 04:51 PM

Wonderful weather here in Florida lately. Very cool on your Rossion adventure!

qball · 10-01-2009, 05:01 PM

Drive thru Orlando and give me a ride in it!

chazzer · 10-01-2009, 06:16 PM

Way to go . I'll bet you'll remember this trip the rest of your life. Awesome.

slaughtr · 10-02-2009, 07:38 AM

Jeff, you'll find the highway ride back is much. much nicer than the Exige. Also, you'll be sooooooooo glad your getting your break in done quickly. The urge to open it up is overwhelming.

MpBrady7 · 10-05-2009, 06:41 AM

Ok the clock has officially started. I know you're back. Lets see if you can upload these pictures faster than it took you to upload my Lotus pickup pics....which was what 2 months???

It's a nice sunny day in Cincy today... he's probably still driving the Rossion around. Maybe we'll get pics later in the week... once the rain comes.

knucklehead · 10-05-2009, 09:58 AM

Give the wife the camera so we get to see your face the first time you see the car.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Can't wait to see all the pics.
