Great lineup of cars already. I PM'd you yesterday about bringing my 348. Looking forward to the gathering.
Unfortunately I will be out of town that weekend, but if we are rained out and event is rescheduled to another weekend I will bring a few cars
Kevin...I will be out of town that weekend and can't make the show. You always put together a great event to kick off the car season. Have fun...Rob
Guys are there usually any cars there for sale at these events? I am in the market for a 360 or gallardo. I would like to talk to some owners and get some information.
Sometimes there are a few cars for sale there privately. Carolina Lamborghini I am sure will have cars there for sale as ell as FCI. I had my 360 spider up for sale there last year no luck ended up selling the car to a buyer in Colorado. If the right offer presented itself I would sell my 430.

I'll be there as the weather should cooperate. Forecast is for cloudy skies in the morning with sun in the afternoon and rain in the evening. Alan Kevin Who owns the other 99 360 Modena? PM if you want. Thanks Alan
Kind of a stupid question I'm sure, but is the event free to attend? I'm not sure if I'll be in Charlotte that weekend, but if I am I'll be sure to try to make it, and want to be able to plan accordingly. Unfortunately, I don't have anything Italian to enter
