Congratulations on the new bambino. The Ford GT you mentioned, is that the GT40?

 

I'm out..that means dbakowsky is out aswell..next time. Much too busy at the shop right now,,booked well into next month

 

Ford GT is the new one. The GT40 is the old classic you need to dish at least a million for!

 

Does anyone know why the Mont-Tremblant and Ottawa "Ferrari Festivals" are always on the same weekend? It's not like there are so many Ferrari Festivals in Eastern Canada that there is no alternative. Why would two groups of Ferraristi choose to halve their potential participant list? Maybe next year they could talk to each other ??????

This is an intentional repost from the Ottowa Ferrari Festival thread.

I'm just as puzzled as you. I know last year the Ottawa guys said they would try not to conflict with the Tremblant event for this year, but looks like they did it again. Why do they purposely compete with each other???

Thanks for the congrats, Bambino is ready to pop anytime now, just waiting for the call, I could meet up with you guys in London and my friends with the Ford GT and 911 have confirmed.

Cheers,

Darrin

2 weeks to go guys, 25 cars registered!

 

Funny guys
I have my car back on the road. Lots of tinkering left to do but if runs GREAT! While the tank was out getting fixed I decided to rebuild and tune up my distributors (have 2 of those as well). After cleaning, replacing bearings and very carefully getting both advance curves the same, car pulls great again. No spluttering, Weber back spitting greatly reduced, and no transition hickups at 3500 RPM. Car felt like it just wanted to pull and run to 7000 rpm all day!
So barring outright rain next Saturday another Ferrari will make the scene.

Would anyone mind if anyone from the Corvette action center forum came? I saw a guy over there looking for a GTA meet. is it just the 3 forums? Or are other carguys welcome to attend?

 

Hello All,
Were coming from Detroit. Any one else leaving from the Windsor area and want to meet up for the drive? Some of of us from Michigan are meeting at the Windsor Casino in the AM.
Larry,
I am only coming with my Elise so you can take the DB7 off of the list. Thanks for setting this up. We are really looking forward to the facility.

 

All Sports Cars are welcome ... come on over and say "HI!"

 

Just confirmed, one of my customers from Burlington is coming with his White/Blue Ford GT.

And how do we define 'sports cars' ?

If you have to ask, then you don't have one.
