Thanks to William H for the great photos! We'll take a good camera next time JRV! Yours had the best "layout".  | ||

A 5 day show doesn't sound right, don't they usually last longer? | ||

I can't wait to see the Enzo in person. Let's put that on the calendar. And I believe this is the Elise you guys saw:  I saw it here in Atlanta at the Lotus US headquarters. Fun to drive, and an awesome track car. | ||

I saw the blonde also. She was a hottie. I wanted to get a picture, but didn't think my wife would understand. :-) "Seriously honey, it's for the guys!!!" | ||

sorry if someone already posted. I went to FOD last weekend and I was taking to James and he said that a couple of people have the Enzo on order here in Dallas. Nice guy, the only one who has ever asked me if I needed help-so thank you, I am a future driver. | ||

The Enzo is much better in person. Is that possible? Maybe we need to schedule a Ferrari visit to the Dallas car show, and all go together? Maybe we could coordinate w/ FOD and get a closer look w/ doors and engine compartment open. | ||

I don't know Rob, looks like the Houston "cutie" needs a bit more digital quality. Maybe we can get a first hand look in Dallas. | ||

I got there about 3:30, left about 4:45. Then I learned about traffic on 610 near the Galleria. | ||

I didn't realize when I posted that message that I wouldn't have net or email access until tonight! Sorry All. I did go to the show yesterday afternoon and had a great time, even if I was alone. I picked up a 1/18 250GT to add to my collection. I fell in love with the new Audi A8L, it looks great and I want one. I want an Infinti G-35 too, coupe or sedan. I was seriously disappointed in the new Jag XJ8, it's butt ugly. I thought it was an X-type at first. I think the X-type looks better, and I don't like the X-type. | ||

Jeremy, Thanks for coming, it was really nice to meet your wife. I agree, the Lotus Elise is rely something to behold. 1700 lbs. 190 hp? (est) Sorry Jim E, for not meeting up with you. I hope you enjoyed the show. Here's some ENZO pics plus the 1999 F1 engine           | ||

ah, get many Ferraris for less than $38k. I think one of the best values out there would be an Esprit Turbo for less than $20k. | ||

The enzo was awesome!!!!!, but I must confess my infidelity with the Lotus Elise 111s. What a car!!!! I never thought I could stray from the prancing horse. But, for $38,500, I don't have much choice....do I? | ||

You get to go inside the roped area and walk around all the cars as close as you want. They were very cordial, I met Don Pierce? the newest GM of FoH, and sent FC condolences thru him to Tony Navoti for the loss of his daughter. | ||

Did they make you stand like 50 feet from the Enzo, or could you actually get up close? Jason- | ||

I may or may not make the show, I've been told I may have to feed a client Wed night and I might not know for sure until Tuesday. I might have to run over, see the Enzo, and leave. :-( | ||

We can do that too, but Jim E won't be here to make it. He's free Wednesday. We will make plans once Jim lets us know what time to meet there. | ||

It will be Wednesday when I go. I have a meeting that will last until about 3, then am free until 11 Thursday morning. I have some co-workers travelling with me, so let me see if I need to get rid of them. Stay tuned! I WILL bring the keys to my car to see if I can get an 'owners' viewing. | ||

I wonder if they'll bring it up to Dallas in March? Ferrari is listed as an exhibitor. BTW, I took my girlfriend, her sister and boyfriend to Hooter's for the first time a few weeks ago. They are from Denmark and had heard a lot about it. After we sat down they seemed a bit disappointed, for they thought it was a strip club or something along those lines. So, my girlfriend didn't understand the big deal with the place, labeled it "harmless" and said she wouldn't mind going there. By far, the best reaction I have received from a girlfriend. | ||
