    Ladies and Gentlemen, it is that time of year when I begin hawking the forums boards about KewlRides.org’s annual event. Once again KewlRides will host the Toys For Tots - Toy Drive /Vehicle Show (eleventh year, all vehicles are welcome) for the United States Marine Corps' 2014 Toy for Tots campaign.

    KewlRides.org presents the 11th Annual Toy Drive / Car Show (all vehicles welcome)

    for

    The United States Marines Corps 2014 TOYS FOR TOTS Campaign

    December 13th, 2014, Show Time: 11:00 am- 4:00 pm

    Location:
    Miller's Ale House
    10750 Davis Dr
    Alpharetta, GA, 30009-4775
    (Off 400 exit 8 Mansell Road)

    What we want to see is loads of toys; as Fops has been saying for the past years "Let’s put a major dent in the USMC Toys For Tots 2014 goal". We know from years past that the car community has come together for this one event knowing their work and efforts are bringing big broad smiles to children that might not otherwise have anything for Christmas. There will be trophies, raffles, silent auction and fun in general. All this is to generate more toys for the kids.

    You don't have to register in advance, but it helps. And even if you don't want to spend the day there, just come on by, preferably with toy to donate, and enjoy the show. The food at Miller's is pretty good as well.

    The day started slow; when I arrived at 10 there were a line of Corvettes but not much else, and even by 11 (when registration had supposed to have ended), attendance was still rather sparse. But in the next hour, a whole lot of cars showed up, and I understand that the final count of registered cars was close to 90! We didn't fill up the Marines' trailer with toys, but we did pretty well. The weather was great and the conversation a lot of fun.

    Rick R. and Brian S. showed up with their Aston Martin and Lotus Elan, respectively, to join me in the Exotic class, and Charles E. was there with his Triumph, which he actually entered in the Muscle Car class!

    While mine was the only Ferrari entered in the show, several others showed up to drop off toys and stay for a while. One was a new California T in a remarkable color that I hadn't seen before; the driver said that it was called Bianco Fuji and was a $30K option (which, knowing Ferrari, really didn't surprise me). The other was another 328, four months younger than mine, and (IMO) in much nicer condition.

    Which is why, at day's end, I was dumbfounded to find that my old horse was named winner of the Exotic class! So I wound up with a cute little trophy to add to my modest collection.

    If there had been a Humor prize, it probably should have gone to whoever showed up with this big old Mercury station wagon with a Christmas tree tied to the roof. I have it on good authority that it was not being driven by Chevy Chase!

    After driving the Cali-T I will say I have to wonder why do I like these old cars? It is an impressive machine and you would think Bianco Fuji would attract less attention but that doesn't seem to be the case. If Boxer prices keep rising I might think about trading it for an F12.

    Some people say that 328 prices are rising sharply now as well. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm certain that they won't appreciate like Dinos have. (Jack, you're a lucky man!)

    Bianco Fuji does not photograph well; it looks much better in person, rather like Lamborghini's Balloon White.

    White washes out the details. Silver and black look very good in a lot of pics I have seen.
