Anyone going from the West Palm area? Let's get a drive together!

 

Registered!!! Jason we will have a group drive from Wellington i'll let you know -

 

Looking forward to this!

 

Awesome!

 

Steve forgot to mention we will have Wayne Carini from the hit television show "Chasing Classic Cars" and from F40 Motorsports attending the car show. We will also have some "other" surprises this year!

 

Talking to Alex this morning and thinking about a run... : )

 

Why not -

 

There is a meeting place in Weston for an early morning drive over. Already posted in the Calendar of Events. Awesome show!!

 

I attended last year and it is a great event, one of the best.

 

The Cars on 5th is coming together well. We have secured an Enzo and an F40 for the display on the Avenue. We have a 2 330 GTCs and 3 Dinos also joining in. Ferraris registered will number well over 100 for this show. For non-Fcars we have multiple Ford GTs and Alfa 8C and a Morgan Aeromax in the specialty car section. I am expecting confirmation on at least one Koeniggsegg, and 2 McClaren MP4s.

This year we are supporting the families of our fallen heros through the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Donation of $5 is requested for attendees.

I will be closing the car registrations in the not to distant future. PM me if you have any questions. Go on-line to register your car for the show at www.naplesferrariclub.com. Click on the Cars on 5th registration link.

We are coming again for the 5th year. . . . it is a great time for all.....

 

Thanks Albert. It's great that you are bringing your Challenge car again. It's always popular at our show.

 

Thanks Steve, this may be the last year for the Challenge car at the show, it is going up for sale next month. Time to move on to something else.

 

Cars on 5th has recently added a 500 TRC, a 375 MM and a 250 SWB to the show. It's getting better all the time!!

 

Meeting at the Citgo (at least that is what it is labelled on Google maps) at 7AM Saturday for the group drive to Naples. Yowza, I gotta wake up early for this one!!! If I hit the snooze button I will see you all over there.

Showers forecast for Saturday, let's hope they're wrong.

 

As the organizer I am praying big time.

 

By the end of the week it should be fine, I've learned that whatever the forecasters say, it's usually the opposite.

 

Website says the registration is closed...have any room for a 1992 Ferrari 348 TS from Fort Myers? I'll be down there either way, but it would nice to be in the show. My car is for sale if anyone on here is in the market and will be down there.

 

Any word on how many cars will be in attendance?
