    Waste of time-the same stuff shows up every year. Very little in the way of vintage.

    I don't know who did the signs for this event but it was REALLY an embarrassment. I mean to get one wrong, fine, typos happen. I didn't look at many signs in detail but the few that I saw:

    Mine was called a Spider even though my form was filled out correct GTB
    355 next to me was apparently made in 1987 with a 158 mph top speed
    The black 430 Scuderia is apparently a pre-production 2005 model.

    And the downgrade to low res black and white printing cheapened it a bit, that logo was all pixels.

    Signage gripes aside, it was a great day with lots of fantastic cars coming out to play in the rain. I enjoyed meeting Tom Yang and seeing his gorgeous 330 that I had read about a few months back in Forza...

    Great day. Had a blast driving in the rain and sopping up my roof leaks. Really brought the quaint 348 sensabilities home. And now I'm published, thats me off loading my driving shoes in the background of the first "indignant" DinoGT/4 shot. Whoo Hoo, I'm famous.

    Weather was not so great for my back but I forced myself and found it was deffinately worth it.

    The placard was wrong for the 330GT as well, but overall I thought it was one of the better shows I've been to. It's kid and spectator friendly, very good food, music, and for charity. Also a pretty good showing of cars given it's the 4th year and weather.com was (incorrectly) forecasting showers all day.

    Sorry, correction, the 400i above really is a 1983, one that I actually drove 10 years ago when I was looking for my car. After floating around the country for a long time without being driven very much, I think that this car finally is in the hands of an owner who will care for it and give it the attention and exercise that it needs.

    Forza!

    John,

    Thanks for posting the extra pics! That's such a beautiful car. I've always loved the 400/412 series. Do you know what color that is?

    Does anyone have any more pics?

    Bill
