    I have bought 2 cars from Boardwalk, own the largest Ferrari community in the world, past president of FCA DFW, current member of FCA, and Boardwalk is a FerrariChat.com sponsor.

    No invite to the Speciale release party! Are they still mad they stole the FCA DFW car show from us? :D ;)

    Rob, they hold those events indoors, and everybody knows you don't get out of bed for less than 8 pound bass or B&C Trophies.

    I know exactly how you feel, Rob.

    I have never gotten over the way they would not allow my ZR-1 Corvette in their show, and mine was one of the last 50 made in 1995 - and I was a founding member of the ZR-1 net registry.

    Fortunately I was able to see the Speciale at last years release in Austin during the F1 event. It was great. I have not been to a release at Boardwalk since the 458 Italia. I'm not cool enough.

    Rob, you were the first person that popped in my head. I thought about calling you but for some reason I thought you were fishing. I apologize. You could have schooled me on my Aircraft knowledge.

    I'm kinda joking with them. They run their business how they run it. Boardwalk is under different management now than that time James, my friend Stephanie also had her Merceddes scoffed at.

    Actually, you DID get an invite from us 7/7/2014 @ 4:06pm and it was never actually opened < wink >

    So , it appears that you were ignoring our invitation... hmmm

    YOU are very important and special to us, we WANT you to come out and play!

    S

    p.s. SO since we did in fact invite you, so you should no longer be disappointed in us, maybe you can delete this thread?

    Time to move on sir, you don't like us, we get that, you've made that perfectly clear with your actions, online comments, and rumor spreading.

    But, you don't mind coming to events that we sponsor, taking advantage of free stuff that we offer... ?

    But what's done is done, how long do you want to carry this on?

    The ATX event was way cool, in an unexpected location, and just a little warm if I remember correctly.

    Did you make it out with one of the Speciale prints?

    Yes it was really cool. Yes sir, I have the print. It's great. I also got one of the pics with a historic Ferrari pic. When I was driving there it seemed like a strange location. It was really perfect for the event.

    It was nice event Rob. Everyone in Colleyville was mailed personalized invitations engraved on sterling silver platters.

    My speculation is they did not have metal detectors at the doors for the Southlake crowd :))

    Someone may have one, but the signed ones were only given out at the launch events.

    It was a nice event.
    I was told that a yellow speciale was going to be there, but it was the black one I saw at cars and coffee two weeks ago and spoke to the owner for a while...
    I'd like to see a yellow and a red sometime.

    You have no idea what you are talking about, Mr. Fordham. This happened long before you were at this dealership - and it is an insiders joke among the old-timers in the Ferrari group here. At the time, no Corvettes were allowed and I understood that.

    There was no offense taken, Farmer Dave drove that ZR-1 to the meet and we parked it on the front corner of the parking area for display only. I drove my Testarossa to that event, and as I recall took second place in my Ferrari class.

    It seems to me that you are the one spreading the malcontent speech. I have always taken the position that I try to get along with everybody. What was posted here was posted in jest - the same as Robs original post.

    I just went through my inbox and spam folder, the last email I have from you was 2/14/14 "Is Your Vehicle Ready For Spring?".

    I remember when I did get invites years ago, it was mailed.

    Do you send from another domain than boardwalkferrari or boardwalkferrarimaserati?
