Dang! I can see that I did miss out majorly. By the time I got off work, I figured that most would have gone their own ways. I gotta get some better work hours.... | ||

It was fun meeting all Ferrari enthusiast, and thank you all for sharing your knowledge & cars. (especially Rob for fixing my headlight) It was nice meeting you all! Jim E, thanks for doing all purchasing work for the bracket & bringing it. Now where we gonna get an extinguisher? Again, thank Rob for coordinating the events. Hope to see you all at Grapevine Wine Festival Italian Car Show. FYI, girls said it was fun talking to Rob & Greg, and wish they mingled with other, too. Some said that they want to go to next events. | ||

Hope everyone had a great time. Like Jim said, a record turnout of 16 Ferraris plus the other Pantera, Porsche, and Mustang rif raf.  . How about Yoshi for getting the "chickie snack" award for the night. Sorry Jennie and I had to leave early, but getting up at 6am was hard enough already. I think most everyone had a good time. I had originally reserved the top section back several weeks ago when it was still 100+ degrees. Well, turned out last night was about as nice as you could get it. I tried to get everyone up top to be all together, but people weren't budging from the nice patio in full few of the beautiful cars. So I apologize we weren't all together, but by the time Jennie and I left everyone was herding up again. Rodney, if you want a good meal, you guys should come to the fine dining. The food worked out well last night. How can you beat a FREE pasta bar? I thought it was very nice and their appetizer menu isn't too bad either. Exotic Car Nights are more a happy hour kick up your heals and party the night away. Our Fine Dining events will move around to various upscale restaurants like Sullivans. Thanks everyone that hung in there and made a great night out of it. Knowing the suspects there, someone email me all the good details from late night.  BTW, Matt took some pictures and was going to email them to me. | ||

I think Sean had the only camera, lets hope his pics come out. The cars were: 4 328's 2 308's 1 Testarossa 1 512 TR 1 348 Spider 1 348 TB 2 348 TS 1 355 Spider 1 365 1 360 Coupe 1 456 A Black TR showed up later, but he was just a guy with a Ferrari, not a Ferrari guy. | ||

I think we'll try to make it, though it might be in the Mustang instead of the Lotus - it has an alternator issue. By the way, spotted a yellow 360 spider in front of Samba Room a few minutes ago. I should go tell the owner to come out tonight... | ||

Well, Dukes or Sherlocks are hotter places now, but Carsons has still been doing pretty good. They just remodeled before our last ECN. Last time it was packed, almost a little too much when we left at 1:30am. | ||

Rob, I've had a lot of issues with work lately so I have been out of the loop. I also bought a new house in June and have had projects going every weekend. I would like to start going karting again. Wait till you see what I did with the exhaust on the 348...  | ||

Dan, long time no see! I guess you've been "tied up" with all those hot girlfriends. Hey, I was at Jano's the other day, sorry for running into your 348. I'll never forgive you. | ||

LOL Yoshi, I would be besides myself. Jennie has a tall gorgeous Asian friend in her small PA class. Jennie won't invite me out with her anymore because I have the bad habit of forgetting Jennie is even there. I told Jennie flat out that once she leaves me next year as she'll be making money, that the least she can do is hook me up with Ann. Oh man, everytime Ann calls I'm yelling in the background for Jennie to ask her if she will marry me. I keep forgetting Jennie reads FC almost daily now. I love you, but your friend is hot! | ||

I will try to go w/ my female friends for Rob. Susan, I don't think Matt minds single or married, but their boyfriend or husband do. Seriously, I can't wait to see all exotics in 1 place. | ||

Jennie won't bring her chickie snacks around Greg or I, because she knows we get hungry. Especially around Asian food. | ||

New member Username: Sue308 Post Number: 13 Registered: 4-2003 |
Matt I will see what I can do about Chickie Snacks. Jennie is the one who needs to bring the Chickie Snacks since she must have young single girlfriends. I don't hang around many young single girls. | ||

I'll try to be there for that shift. I work for Lone Star valet now, the guys that do valet for Carsons. I used to work for FoD as their valet/detail, so if you don't want to park your car yourself then I'll be glad to take extra care of it for you. | ||

I will be there with the Pantera. New cam, new ignition system. The question is, will the chickie snacks be there? Susan, you'll have to introduce me to any young ladies you bring along this time, move past my shyness, hehe. 30/M | ||

Mingle among the cars at 6pm for an hour or so and then we'll go inside for a sit down dinner. Die hards will stay late into the night dancing to the live band. Over 12 Ferraris attended each of the first four events. Carsons is very Ferrari friendly as we'll get the first few rows for parking and they'll provide security the entire night. The word has got out what a fun event this is. Here are some pics from the first four events... http://www.fcadfw.com/events/exotic_car_night_01.htm http://www.fcadfw.com/events/exotic_car_night_02.htm http://www.fcadfw.com/events/exotic_car_night_03.htm http://www.fcadfw.com/events/exotic_car_night_04.htm Everyone, member of FCA or not is welcome, a Ferrari of course is not required. www.fcadfw.com Thanks, rob |
