    It's a proving test, to show the car can GO 20K miles without bursting into flames....no doubt that's easier to do in places where the locals are not potential customers, but are occupied growing lettuce..... and things like that.

    I was gonna buy the used car, cuz' it's a raised suspension with skid pan protection......I could herd the cows around the pasture......;)

    I got a invite for a private lunch and meet in greet in Houston.

    I think it's a matter of who you know and are. It's not a gerneral public event.

    I read they were supposed to be in Miami November 3rd. That figures they'll be in the panhandle region November 1st...ish. But, who knows when they'll be coming through and where a Shell refueling spot will be?

    The Ferrari Panamerican 20,000 is coming to Houston.



    You're invited to a private event to help welcome the two Ferrari Panamerican 599 GTB Fiorano cars to Houston
    as they continue on their adventure across the U.S.

    Actually the letter that Case IH sent us only references local media not
    being allowed. They have an official photographer that will take group
    photos and provide us with a disc of the photos at a later date. There
    is no mention of personal photos.

    LOL... I don't know if this is supposed to be secret or what, but The tour will be in Rockdale Texas this Monday, Oct. 30th at about 10:30AM. A small part will have the cars on display for the townspeople and the rest is for the FCA members and Alcoa workers only. I will be there for the entire event and will have hundreds of photos to share when I get back.

    Well, either my invite is BS, or that schedule posted above isn't correct. We'll see on Monday when I go to Rockdale....

    It's in Rockdale. Rockdale is just 43 miles east of Round Rock.

    Yea, that reconciles all the rumors, into FoH for service Sunday, over to Alcoa next day, My_adidas has entertainment/lunch on 10/31 and a departure for the Big Easy 11/1..

    Easy enough if you can run like an F40! LOL!
