    Howdy Pardners. I've got permission from the little missus to have a visit. I'm about 20 miles west of Ft Worth off I-20. I'd like to invite a few hundred of my closest buddies to join me. I'm planning to have some pilot friends, and hopefully some Porsche friends, maybe some Ferrari friends over for a gab-fest/beer-fest/show-shine/swim/BBQ at my extablishment out west of Ft Worth.

    Families wecome, any model okay. If you're gonna be in the general area that weekend, show up and meet the gang. RSVP would be nice, but not required.

    Maybe I'll rent one of those mech bulls, hahahahahahahaha!

    If we fly, Parker County Airport looks about 5 miles away?

    Since I'm just a renter, 328 might be the better choice and I could hang around longer and actually enjoy the beer. :)

    Absotively. KWEA is about 5 miles. I'll be offering rides to and fro. Bring either one, all brands/models welcome.

    I had an inquiry about the safety for exotics. I live on a hill, overlooking lake Meeker, on a cul-de-sac, in a very safe neighborhood. Very few cars pass by, and if needed, I could close the street before my house, and only let residents in. Safe, very safe.

    Got enough posts there, Rob? :)

    328 goes to Wal-Mart often, no worries. :)

    Scary thing is I started FerrariChat.com, the only admin, and have been here longer than anyone. I'm still 5th on the total number of posts! :D

    Hopefully with a new ride.

    Excellent gentlemen. I'll send out a few gratuitious bumps from time to time. My buddy with the aerobatic biplane might show too, and he'll prolly give a few 'OH SPIT!' rides for the adventurous.

    For those of you that don't remember, we drove highway 5 just South of his house on one of our annual runs. It's a great road, be sure to take time out to go drive it!

    Sounds great, thanks for the invite - I live a whopping 2 miles from you, the fluids won't even get warmed up on the drive over!

    Hopefully it won't STILL be raining by then.

    2-ish. We're getting a good turnout from the DFW groups, but how about outside the metro? Any long distance takers?

    Long distance? It's not all that far of a journey. (unless you plan on drinking)

    Gratuitious bump. three weeks! We've got some interest from the Lamborghini crowd, there may be a few vintage one's plus mine.

    As for longer distance, I was thinking El Paso is a good haul, so's Amarillo. Interesting tidbit - LA CA is closer to El Paso than Beaumont TX is.

    Howdy again folks, fun time is just around the corner. Should have a nice breeze to go with our 100* day. I got brisket comin, turkey, rolls, salty snacks, and fixins. If anyone wants to bring a potato/mac/bean salad, that'd be great. if not we'll struggle through. Got my shade up(but it's kinda flappy), and got most of the frogs outa the pool. Several of my vintage cars are actually running, so I'll have a few on display, complete with warts!

    (Let's try and keep that post count up there Farmer Dave)

    Take any fwy west to I20
    exit Aledo rd, go left
    Cross RR track and turn right
    about 2.5 miles, to Lakeview on brick facade left
    up little hill go left, and left again on Royal Oak.
    Watch out for cows!

    Yeee-hah!
