    last saturday at 1pm. I bought my first ferrari, a thirty-five year dream that just came true, I've I always wanted a 246gts from the first day I saw one in madrid where I went to high school for three years in 1970-73, but owning a 1985 308gtsi qv red/tan is good enough, I'm looking for get togethers to take her out and meet others in saco

    Congratulations! Look for threads about **********. It usually is held at the Pavilions in the morning. I'm not sure which Sunday of the month though. Also, sometimes it rotates locations to places like Roseville.

    You could always look up your local FCA chapter. Niello Concours at Serrano just occured this past Sunday (the 7th).

    Congratulations!

    EuroSundays are held on the 4th Sunday of every month - complete (and official) information is at http://www.**********.net . I'm there whenever other events don't conflict with it, and it's a lot of fun. Best of all, it's a good chance to meet a bunch of the other local Ferrari owners!

    If you're an early riser, there's also a pre-meet breakfast at 6 AM... Feel free to PM me for details on that.

    Hopefully, we'll see you and that gorgeous 308 on the 28th!

    Irondogmike...hopefully you never have something as serious as a "fog light out" like SillyPuppy preventing you from taking the car out on a beautiful day! ;)

    BTW - That is an extremely clean F-car! Love it...hope to see you using it around town often

    Hi, IrondogMike.

    Congratulations on your 308GTSi QV! It's my favorite of this series. Enjoy her and take care of her. I totally agree with Mike Tuason -- you gotta driver her.

    My philosophy is that you must drive her as God and Enzo intended -- hard and fast!

    If you treat her like a garage queen, like I did in the past with my Ferraris, you will end up paying a heavy price and suffering much inconvenience by way of Ferrari separation anxiety -- you can check out my website that shows the result of not driving your Ferrari (Scroll down to the mid-section of the web page.): http://www.AlfonsoFaustino.com.

    Welcome to the Ferrari Ownership Community.

    Check 6.

    /s/ Alfonso Faustino
