    Calm down - earlier in this thread someone refers to the event as launch/dinner which suggests like the California launch its probably about a 6 pm start

    Is it worth going for if there is no ride in the car? I can't imagine going to Italy just to look at the car in person and eat dinner? Seems like quite an inconvenience for most. What am I missing?

    You've pretty much hit the nail on the head Tom. There will simply be too many people for test drives. If we're lucky we'll get to sit in some cars after dinner like we did at the California launch. From memory there were 6 or 7 cars on display for that event so it was pretty chaotic getting in them as there must have been 1500-2000 guests at that launch. It's amazing how rude some of the guests at that event were.

    I'll be there on the 2nd. I've been trying to setup a factory tour but still haven't heard a word. Talked to Eddie at Beverly Hills Ferrari but haven't heard back. I may just show up with pink slips in hand and see what happens. Maybe they don't let 348 owners in!!! If ANYONE knows how to get through the doors, let me know. I'm flying the MotoGP motorcycles from Indianapolis to Bologna on the 1st. Have one day in Italy before returning to the states. Thanks, Lou

    You US guys are fortunate to have dealers who are paying attention. I didn't hear about this from our crappy local dealer.

    We expect first photos of the event no later than 2315 Italian time tomorrow - that should give you time for a good dinner and then to find a wifi connection to upload them !

    Sitting at the apt now - anyone staying @ the Real Fini also? Would be rude not to say hi to a few Fchatters - we seem to have failed to form any sort of meeting plan.

    Anyone present at this event might be so kind to take and post pics of the VINs too? They should be visible in the lower front window.

    The small but dedicated Ferrari serial number spotting community would be grateful!

    Thanks & ciao,
