    Hey all,

    As you know the Ga. Chapter of the FCA will have the 599 next week. We have two great events - Bob Varsha on wed night at the dealership, and Ted Rutlands on Saturday for one of his great cookouts! - Thanks Mitch!!!!

    Now FCA National has arrainged an other one for the following Monday March 25 for the hand off to the AL chapter. FCA has arrainged for us to visit the Pirelli factory in Rome Ga. the 599 will be getting a tire change, and we get a tour of the factory, lunch and photo opportunity to be in the Prancing Horse.... but I need help with getting some turn out...

    Ok I know its a Monday... and its Rome Ga... but could really be a nice trip, and Pirelli have been very kind in offering hospitality to us!

    So I'm looking for 3-6 Ferrari's to accompany the F599 - we can do rides etc... We have to be at the factory by 11AM and figure all over by 2.... could be a great time to use some PTO or call in sick!

    PM me if you are interested and I'll send you all the details.

    Is this event only for FCA members? My major should be complete on my 348 Spider by then.

    No guarantees as I just saw this, BUT, I do have Monday off. It would be a bit of a trek from Savannah, but I can talk to my wife about it later tonight. I have to pick my daughter up on Saturday, so I would have her with me...might make for a fun trip. My wife also might have alternate plans for me on Monday...

    I keep trying to find a good excuse to drive my Ferrari up to and around Atlanta...

    All, this is the scedule for Monday's trip to Rome Ga. and the Pirelli factory:

    FCA – GA chapter Relay car hand off – Monday 3/25

    FCA Ga group meet up at Total Wine Barrett parkway off I -75 at 9:15 AM on Monday 3/25 – Gas up and depart for Rome Ga by 9:30.

    9:30 – 11AM travel to Pirelli factory in Rome – Route TBD. We can stop along way to change out passengers as needed.

    Cars arrive at Rome office around 11 AM

    •All Cars EXCEPT the anniversary car will park out front lot which will be roped off until after they leave (per our HR Dept).

    •Approx. 5-7 Ferrari guests will tour our MIRS factory for around 1 HR.
    During this time a photographer from Prancing Horse Magazine will take photos of the tire change and / or MIRS where allowed – Rafael & Kevin will accompany the group.

    The area where the tire will need to be changed is in the back of our facility.

    Pirelli Employees are welcome to look at the cars / take photos , etc. at this time.
    At around 12PM the 50th Anniversary Car will be moved to the front of the building to join in the photo ops. (15 mins or so). This will be the full group + the anniversary car with new Pirellis.

    The group will move to downtown around 12:20 to take photos in front of the Municipal Building of the City of Rome (Capitoline Wolf Statue). Hand off will occur there.

    A lunch reservation will be made downtown for the group at 12:45. at Pirelli expense.
    After the group eats, they will depart Rome for their next stop.

    Total Wine is in the Barrett Pavilion shopping center, whose anchor store is Target.

    From I-75, go west on Barrett Parkway past Cobb Place Blvd and then turn right into the shopping center. From I-575, go west on Barrett until past I-75 and do likewise.

    For anyone coming from Ferrari of Atlanta, turn left on GA-9, turn right on (Nigel?) Mansell Road and then right on GA-92 (Crossville Road). Follow GA-92 to Woodstock (about 12 miles), then take I-575 south to Barrett Parkway, and follow the instructions above.

    (No, I don't know who Mansell Road is named for, but I'm pretty sure that it's not "our Nige".)

    Tom, if it's ok, I'd like to come down from Chattanooga in my 599. It's easiest for me to go directly to Pirelli and be there around 10-11.

    All:

    Here is the address to the Pirelli factory in Rome Ga....

    we'll be leaving at 9 AM from Total Wine on Barrett parkway off 75.


    directions To Pirelli:

    30 Industrial Blvd SE
    Rome, GA 30161
    30 Industrial Boulevard Southeast Rome, GA 30161 - Google Maps

    This is the address for Steel King Industries, which is the building adjacent to Pirelli. apparently GPS does not pick up on the Pirelli Drive location.
