Start of a short trip, about 38 miles to Owls Head.

Followed this Porsche 928 most of the way.

After gathering at the museum, Barry & Debbie Shepard led us on a great scenic drive along the coast.
Guess who showed up in my mirror, and followed us to a photo stop? Yep, the 928.

Great lobster (or steak) dinner in the museum. The steak was REALLY good!
(Yeah, I'm from Maine - I don't feel the need for lobstah.  Too much work!)

John Payson's Mercedes 6.3 AMG, with mods by Renntech. A screamer!
The engine is signed by the builder, like the Z06 and ZR1 Corvettes.
