    If it is a downpoor no. If it is a sunny, cloudy or day with sprinkles, yep. Also, I need 3 F-chatters to validate me with my car so I can have access to the "owners" section of fchat. Hopefully 3 show up (or 1 moderator).

    Hey Schnazzy,
    I'll show if it's sunny. We can use each other to validate .....for I would also like to have access to the owners section as well. One more needed if we include Gary?

    I need validation too... although part of me really wants to know, is it worth having access there? hahaha

    So there is XXX on the 16th and then Redmond Exotics might be on for the 22nd if weather permits. I'll be going to both unless it's a downpour. Even a sprinkle I'll go.

    I sold my 550 Maranello last June, so I am currently Ferrariless (after 20 years and four different Ferraris).

    I'll probably be at the show as a spectator.

    Well I will still be going but probably without my Ferrari. I'll just go visit. It seems I have a fuel issue and it goes into the shop probably Wednesday but I can't imagine it being back before EOD Friday.

    I got a slow down (solid) followed by (flashing) followed by check engine. It would seem the likely culprit is too much fuel in 1-4 and it's igniting past the heater and heating the 1-4 cat past operating temp. When I pulled over the inlet to the capristo was burgundy red which I assume is an issue ;). Anyway it is clearly an issue that will need to get fixed. I can have the new CV boots and modified gothspeed heatshield put on at the same time.

    In the pic in the background you can see the passenger side inlet is purple.

    I'd like to thank Dave Rocks for talking me down from the ledge. Once the car cooled I gingerly drove it the mile home and the code cleared but there is clearly an issue.

    Smart move on the Goth CV heat shields...wish they were around when I had my F355 spider. I drove my car a lot, and replaced my inner CV boots twice over many miles...the factory shields are simply too small.

    I'm kind of surprised they scheduled it for Easter Sunday.

    Unfortunately there is an event at XXX drive-in every Saturday and Sunday from Spring to Fall. Someone has to take that date, or get bumped....it is what it is and the organizers certainly understand the possible conflict for many.

    I'll be at xxx and at Exotics@RTC opening with my 458 Italia. Even if it's raining at xxx, but let's hope it's not.

    So the overheat issues was pretty bad, or at least for me but my mechanic was like, meh, not an issue to be too worried about (with regard to "damage"). The fix was that the connector to the coils (both) where not fully connecting due to some mild corrosion. He fixed them up. Note the exhaust valve not opening was due to the same problem but at the ECU. Chatted about the gold connector kit as it would seem maybe it might be a good option for me.

    Anyway, I'll be there on Sunday.

    Beautiful 355! I don't think we got a chance to chat but I was the one with the rossa 430 at the end.
    It was also good to meet Paula with her 458. I don't think I ran into Gary or Brian but I didn't stay long...sorry I missed you guys.

    Your 355 is a beauty, and it's nice to see another Berlinetta in town. Nice chatting with you and Brian.
