I just got back from tagging a few extra days onto this event. What a hit!!! I met Paul but couldn't find Martin.... oh well, next time! Talk about a turn-out!!! It was great. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera.... Paul, did you get an overhead picture taken? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
Paul did a great job putting this together. What a turn out. It was so busy that I did not have a chance to take pictures. SORRY guys. Great to meet you Paul. Hope we will see each other on Cavallino and Italiafest and you will make it to the Rally. | ||

The show was a great sucess! looks like it will become an annual event. 60 Ferrari's on the lawn and another 20+ (non-register) out on the street. 150 people attended the FOC lunch and the Weather was perfect. HUGE PUBLIC TURNOUT ALL DAY............. | ||

I'm back in Wichita so I won't be attending. It looks like it's going to be a great time and great weather. I'm seriously jealous, have a wonderful time while I enjoy the brown landscape here! BobD, you're right on the money about Columbia Restaurant....fantastic food. | ||

For those of you going, don't forget to stop in at the Columbia Restaurant for unbelievable stone crab (mouth watering)!!! It's right on St. Armands Circle. | ||

Weather is supposed to be dry and between 65-72 degrees. More than 50 cars are expected, should be a fantastic day. Everyone is invited to come and look at the cars. Event Registration is available at www.focfloridaregion.com/sarasota.pdf | ||

The "mostly sunny" is nice...the 38° scares me! | ||

Great weather forecast = great turnout. Can't wait to see the cars! http://www.weather.com/weather/local/34243?GO=GO | ||

We are close to 50 cars registered for show. If you are register to display please arrive no later then 9am. It will take some time to pull all 50 cars into the park. | ||

Scott, FYI the owner of the Green Flash Restaurant on Captiva is a Ferrarista (red 355).Nice guy. Believe he is Swiss. | ||

I booked a room at "Conquina on the Beach". Friday till Sunday. Will stay a little longer to see Sarasota. Hotel has secure parking (as much as you can ask for) and is on the Beach for only $ 99.00 a night Oceanfront. 1-800-833-2141 In walking distance to St. Armands Circle. | ||

I'm down here on Sanibel for a couple months right now. Been cool for the last week put not too bad, they say this week should warm up as it goes along; hoping to have good weather for the event up in Sarasota. Should be fun even though I left my car back in WI. | ||
| Paul Sloan (Sloan83qv)
|
Long range weather forecast looks great, keep your fingers crossed. | ||

Jepp, they call me "Shorty" | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
|
Martin, will do!.... only 6'4", huh? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
Bob, go and look for me. 6'4'' close to my 348TS license plate: "ICT 1" Will be there right by 10am I guess if I am driving in that day. Otherwise look for David Jn or David Sen and ask them to point me out. | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
|
Martin, "quiet" sounds good for a couple of days.... looking forward to the St. Armands event too! | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
Captiva and Sanibel are very nice and quiet places. Life runs a different pace there. As a vacation you will love it. It is about 1 1/2 hours from Sarasota. I still own a lot of land in Cape Coral, east of Sanibel/Captiva. Very prosperous area. | ||

The show is going to be great! Its going to be bigger than what was expected in the beginning. So far more than 35 cars have been registered and people are calling everyday requesting for info. Visit the club website at www.focfloridaregion.com for more info and registration form. See you guys there! | ||

Martin, my company is based in Sarasota (I've been with them 18 years). In all my visits to the west coast of FL, we've never been to Captiva/Sanibel... but always heard good things about it. I think my wife got us a condo for a few days... I'm wide open to suggestions. If you have any, pls email me. THX! | ||
| martin J weiner,M.D. (Mw360)
|
Bob D' Where do you stay in Captiva? We lived on Sanibel for 8 yrs up to '00. Great spot- enjoy yourselves. | ||
| Tyler (Bahiaau)
|
I was thinking of dropping by if work permits. I'm planning on being in Siesta so if I'm able I'll shoot over for a couple of hours. | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
|
We're flying in from Dallas for a long weekend.... heading to Captiva Saturday afternoon... just going to drop by the show for a couple of hours. You don't know how much I'd like to have the car there with us! Did I read there are 25+ cars registered? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
why without the cars? | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
|
My wife and I will be there without the car too (unfortunately). St. Armands Circle is beautiful... will make a great venue for the show. Looking forward to it! | ||

The wife and I are considering attending the event -- that is, if we can work it into the schedule (business, kids in school, etc., etc.). Probably won't be able to bring the F-car though  (as it may be in the shop for routine inspection / maintenance). On the return trip, we'd like to pay Ferrari of Central Florida a visit, meet the "crew", look around, etc. Sounds like a fun Ferrari-packed weekend -- hope we can be there! | ||

Who is coming to the FOC meeting in Sarasota on the 12th on St. Amarnd's Circle? I will make it for sure. It will be a great event and I am looking forward to it. Anybody staying over night? I am thinking driving up there on Friday evening and back on Saturday eve. |
