    On Saturday May 7th two car shows are being held at the same time: Ferrari-Maserati of New England's "Esposizione di Automobile" at Norwood, MA, and F40 Motorsports' Open House in Portland, CT. Anyone been to both and can suggest one or the other? I'm a new owner and haven't been to these shows. I'm sure both are great, but I'm about a two hour drive from either location so can't attend both!

    Many thanks.

    FoNe is close to Boston, so might be worth a trip into the city for a bite on Newbury street on a sunny day with nice cars in abundance

    I've only been to the F40 open house and it was very well attended and a lot of fun. The FoNE event also sounds like fun.

    I'm planning on attending the F40 event this year after missing it the last couple of years.

    It also is the same weekend as the increasingly awesome Tom Yang vintage V12 gathering down in Maryland but that is 250 miles away from me and I just don't have the time to do an overnight trip that weekend.

    Decisions, decisions!

    I will be at F40. Always a good time. Plus, there is usually more of a variety of automobiles.

    Thanks for the tips! Both shows seem highly recommended. Am I right in generalizing that the FoNE show has more newer autos, while at F40 there's a wider range of vehicles from vintage classics to modern day?

    Which show tends to have the larger absolute number of cars attending?

    Leo, I have been to FoNE, never been to F40... If I was about equidistant to both, I would check out F40! Not to take anything away from FoNE, because it and the dealership are a great group(lots of possitive reviews) it just seems there are a lot more jaw dropping and historically impressive cars at F40!

    In any case, both of them have open houses pretty regularly so if you miss one, you can go to the other next time
