    The Chicago Ferrari Owners Club will have is fall drive on Sunday October 13. We will a scenic back roads drive from Naperville to Starved Rock. We will meet at the Dairy Queen parking lot in the Springbrook Center located at 2547 Plainfield Naperville Rd in Naperville (Plainfield Road North of 95th street on West side of Plainfield Naperville Rd).

    We will meet at 9:00 AM and depart promptly at 9:30 AM. The drive takes about 2 hours, if you desire we can have lunch at the Starved Rock Café and then take a short or long hike along the trails.

    Looking forward to seeing you all on October 13.

    I plan on making this event assuming my CEL goes out or if anyone has something that they could bring to read the codes that would be greatly appreciated. It just came on today and it was shortly after fueling. I checked the gas cap and it might have be 1/4 turn loose so I'm optimistically hoping that was it. This is on a 355 so if anyone has the cable to hook to the OBDII port I'd greatly appreciate it. I have one at the other house but wasn't planning to go back there before this drive.

    Check out this post: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/360-430/379874-f430-cel-p2198-o2-sensor-signal-biased-stuck-rich-bank-2-sensor-1-a.html

    I know it is a different car, but it could be the same issue. I have a basic code reader and would be happy to pull the code if you are anywhere near me. I'm out in Aurora near the Naperville border. PM me if you want to meet and read the code. I'm unfortunately busy and unable to go on this drive on Sunday.

    V8Fun, thanks for the offer but you are pretty far from me. On top of that I'm not feeling well so I probably won't be able to make this drive anyway. I'll get it back to the other house and pull the code. Unless I get over this bug that hit me by Sunday I'll have to skip this one. I'm hoping it is something that simple, if not it's about that time of year for annual service and we'll see what's going on with it. Since it happened right after fueling I'm optimistic that it's nothing too serious.

    I got there early with my wife in tow in her Porsche... We played around the park, then had lunch with our Sons. The place was beautiful - BUT packed!

    Who knew that Utica would have their towns main event this weekend?

    Who would have remembered that this is a three day weekend for some, so the place would be crawling with peeps! Holy smokes the place was wall to wall nature lovers! :)

    Anyhow. We bugged out (the LEO's closed off the easy exits it was so congested) then saw a small contingent of 308/328 as we rolled out. Hope you guys had a good drive. Ours was fab even if I did not get to say hello to you Chi guys.

    The 308/328 group was us. We arrived at around 11:45am. Parking was a challenge, but we found 3 places together in the back. We had a great drive on smooth roads, curvey roads and .......... yep, we did a little off pavement driving on dirt and hard packed gravel through a closed road section. We went slow and all was well. When we say in FOC "We Drive", we mean it! ;)

    I'll post pics a little later.

    The weather was great, I missed a turn and took us off roading, but it was great fun.

    You folks are fun to be around. Thanks for taking the time to meet up for the ride. A special thanks to Haley and Michelle for taking the long drive from up north.
