    Remember that the first Caffeine & Exotics of the year will be this coming Sunday, April 17, at Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead. If you haven't already registered, you'd better do it quickly.

    As of right now, the forecast for next Sunday has no rain, and slightly warmer temperatures than at the recent Caffeine & Octane.

    What time does it start? I may actually be able to make my first one as I'll already be down there for work.

    Andy, the start time is quoted as 8 AM. Also be aware that they are charging spectator admission of $5, though some of that will go to charity. And they are holding shows only every other month, so after this one the next one will not be until June. (Supposedly they are planning something different for the alternate months.)

    All the good driving time is 8am-noonish.... then lunch....then the return trip (post-1pm)is a crap-shoot, with a higher chance of "crap". All the churches are out or letting out, the crazy mall people have woken up and clogging the roads...

    Sunday mornings.... perfect time to be out in the cars driving them.

    Obviously photographed late in the going, after my "neighbors" had deserted me!

    I arrived around 7:15, followed into the lot by a Testarossa, and we were fourth and fifth in the first Ferrari row. Eventually there were at least two dozen Ferraris (including three 458 Speciales) and even more Lamborghinis.

    Herewith are some of le belle macchine that made today's event a success. One standout that was largely ignored, since it wound up in a far corner of the lot, was a lovely Maserati Indy.
