    That just ain't a chicken sandwich, that's something you get in the food court at the mall.

    A shame only 2 Ferrari's could make it. Probably best to stop calling it "Ferrari Club" Maybe just F-Chat LA section Toy Run next year.

    kelly you did a good job organizing the event and getting people to participate. the cause is greater than the cars or who showed up. i wish more people in the southern louisiana section would have been there though, kind of disappointing, whatever the reason.
    again, thanks for putting it on!

    The Hattiesburg Car Club was happy to join you guys.

    Thanks to Kelly for inviting us, we had 4 cars there..a supercharged M3, a 600 hp Shelby Cobra, and a 911 Targa (Stradale was at home) and my Ford GT.

    Every child in the hospital got at least one toy, that what it was all about.

    Looking forward to a track day soon with you guys.

    Joe

    Great job Kelly. With everything negative in the world right now your ability to focus your attention to those less fortunate than yourselves speaks volumes to your character. Kudos to all that participated.

    Thanks, but it's not about me, it's about the kid who may not make it to Xmas. When we left Joe told me that they made it to every room. That means every kid got at least one present.
