    I wanted to let you guys know that Dr Simeone and the Simeone Foundation has extended a hand to the locals and the F-Chat crew. I know there is another thread, but I wanted to make sure everyone saw this. I am doing a story on their Demo Day this Saturday and when I mentioned that a crew from the local C&C and F-Chat were coming up they offered for the first 30 exotics from the group they would provide special reserved VIP parking .

    The demo is going to be epic with amazing Ferrari's. The museum's 250 GTO, 1957 Testa Rossa, 1954 375 MM, a 250 LM and Monza from a great collection and a competition Daytona.
    Rarely will you see , hear, and smell a group of Ferrari's finest driven, and then have the opportunity to hear their story by one of the top automotive historians and enthusiasts in the world, Dr Fred Simeone.
    We don't know how lucky we are to have this amazing museum and the man who assembled it right down the road. The museum is a bargain and you can wander the day away looking close-up at one of the top collections of significant race cars on the planet.
    If you want to participate in the special parking make sure I have you down as space is limited.

    Bob and Dennis, please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I have never been to the Simeon Museum. I understand that secure parking will be provided. However, what about the roads to the museum?

    The museum is about 4-5 minutes past Phila Airport on 95 N. There are a couple roads with bad potholes, but just drive cautiously and you'll be fine.

    Alex, I'm not sure for this one. There will be probably 6 cars, which is more than normal and then Dr Simeone will talk about them and their significance. And the entrance includes the museum so I don't think I've ever left the museum in less than a few hours.

    I will already be up at Simeone and won't make C&C because I'm shooting some prep stuff with them, but I would think the crowd for this will be pretty big judging from the attendance of other demo days. When you come up they will be looking for the guys from C&C or FChat to park you in a special area. They have room for 30 exotics and so far only 6 or 7 have confirmed so if someone at C&C will pass the word there it would be great. It's gonna be a great day and I know how plans go early in the spring like this so I hope to see you guys up there.

    BTW- Yes I already know there are variations in the color of GTO. I was experimenting on the shots in the shade.
