Inspiration for "Red Barchetta" finally meets Peart!

Richard Foster, the author of the short story "A Nice Morning Drive" which inspired the song "Red Barchetta", has recently posted an VERY interesting story on a Metro Washington BMW messageboard. In it he tells of first learning of the Rush connection in 1996, becoming a fan, finally contacting Peart in 2006, and finally meeting him while riding with him during the east coast leg of the S&A tour! Check it out here, amazing pictures included of the ride, as well as images of the original story as it appeared in Road & Track.
