    Mark the date in your calendar: On Sunday, September 3rd we will have a special opportunity to do a private photo shoot with our Ferraris and a true blooded Lippizan horse (potentially the kind featured in the Ferrari logo). We will also get to watch their show, which is quite unique. Temple Farm happens to be one of the few places in the world where they have real Lippizans.

    Dave will post more details as we get closer.

    So who's in besides Dave and myself?

    Count me in for sure.

    I can contact the folks that own "Little Egypt" and see about taking photos with the cars and the pyramids. :) And maybe a BBQ after if anyone is interested.

    Please go ahead with the Egyptian place. That'd be a cool thing to do after the show for folks who like to stick around a bit.

    You realize that come hell or highwater you MUST bring the GTO to Temple farm. Tow it if you have to, but there are no two ways about it.

    We got to the point of checking for spark, and that worked. :) Everything is in place now and we should be able to fire it up this weekend. IF it is not up and running by then, Chelle will push it to to Temple Farms and the Pyramid House. ~~should get good gas mileage out of her~~

    ;)

    Are non Ferrari owners welcome? I'd love to come and finally some of you and your cars. Obviously I wouldn't have my picture taken, maybe in front of the pyramids though, if possible.

    Dave is still working on the details and we'll post here an update. For now plan to be there at noon and the cost of the show is $ 17 per person.

    Well, I just got ahold of the owner of the pyramid house, he said he dropped the insurance to cover people on his property and that we cant visit.

    Maybe I got him at a bad time, sorry everyone. :(

    Thanks for trying Haley.
    We can meet at Tempel Farms for their last show of the season this Sunday September 3rd. The show begins at 1:00 PM so I would suggest we meet at the farm at 12:30 PM.
    Tickets are $17.00 per adult, and the show is 70 minutes long. After the show, we will meet with one of their stallions and a trainer for some pictures.

    For driving directions and a map see: http://www.tempelfarms.com/contact.html

    See you there!
    Dave

    Great, we're finally getting some cars:

    Dave Boxer
    Richard 348C
    Haley 250GTO-R
    Andreas 308

    Rick, c'mon, I know you can swing it! I'm sure this will be a once ever opportunity, not to be repeated.


    For those who'd like to brush up on their Lippizan horse history:

    Horse expert Carol sums it up in post #12.


    The picture below shows what we have in mind. Sorry for the colors Richard and Dave. :)

    I'd LOVE to come, my 7 y/o daughter is a horse nut. Alas, I'm working...
    I'd send her with the wife, but being 35 weeks pregnant, she's not as mobile (I was going to say "getting around like she normally does, but that just sounds bad!).

    Richard & Rick or anyone else heading northbound,
    We could meet at the northbound Lake Forest Oasis on I-94 at say 11:30 AM?

    Rick,
    Please join us if your schedule works out.

    I will be driving the 308. The Boxer's ignition distributor is at Continental for calibration and I won't have it back in until next week. Rats!

    Mike Z,
    If you attend lets discuss plans for another tech session if your willing to host one. For a ride in the Boxer?

    Andreas,
    Nice pictures you posted...

    See you all there,
    Dave

    I am more than willing to do it, but unfortunately I can not attend the upcoming event 9/3.
    It will have to be sooner rather than later.
    Here's what I have:
    Baby due 10/6
    construction project to start (MAYBE) shortly thereafter
    I have essentially the last week of september off, so 9/30 or 31st are perfect for me (barring early baby arrival). Maybe another date would work, but that is, off the top of my head, the best scenerio for me.

    Possible topic for the tech session: Seat removal

    I'll gladly volunteer my 308 as the example to work on. Time to redo my seats.

    Alas, Once again, I would love to be counted as "In attendance," but circumstances prevent me from being there. I will be at Sunday's 365GT 2+2 Special Tech Session, regarding front crankshaft seal replacement.

    If you notice any unexpected nebulous or etherial masses present, in your pictures, it is Ruby and I, with you in spirit. :)

    Ahh shucks, would have loved to have Ruby in the picture. Speaking of: Will there be any for the 07 calendar?

    Hi Andreas,
    Well, all of the work at present, should be winding up, in the next week. I still have a few projects planned for the winter, as always, but I should be able to get some new pics for the calendar, before then.

    Hey anyone coming up from South of O'Hare or downtown, I'll offer coffee, juice, and donuts at my place if you want to met say 10:30 at my place then we can pull out together at 11:30 from my house. Call me or PM for directions. But please let me know by 9:00 am Sunday so I can plan accordingly. I'm off the Kennedy and South Cumberland exit by O'Hare.
