F40 is just a early cars n coffee, so you could do both.... I wanted to go to Black horse but I have been volunteered to help at a charity event my mother is involved in. http://www.wadsworthatheneum.org/do/posh_sale.php maybe some of the ladies might be interested and then the significant others can go to F40 cars and coffee and then black horse..
Are you guys seeing this! Look now! http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=262644&page=2 --Mike
Hello, All - Thanks Lane for cross promoting the Black Horse event on this thread. FCA/NER and BHG put this on the calendar months ago and clearly have no intention of competing with our friends at F40. For those who can make it to Black Horse, great, we'd love to have you (maybe you can even squeeze both in) - please do me a favor though and PM me so I can provide BH with an accurate count. Thank you, looking forward to meeting you next Saturday.
I'd love to come but I didn't get out of my shift tomorrow ... drat! I would have liked to debrief with you guys on last weekends festivities
My father called me at 7:00am and wanted to know if I was going to Glastonbury. I told him I had a lot to do plus its wet, so no. He said it should dry out and he'll call back at 8:30am. At 8:30 he called and asked, "Are you going"? Well it was drying out but I still had a lot to do. So he said he would come over and give me a hand. He arrived about 9:00am and asked, "Are you going"? I paused and thought my dad is only here a few weeks each year, "Yeah, we're going". Boy am I glad I did. For an hour I wasn't a husband or a Dad or trying to keep a client happy. I got home at 11:00am and felt great. That feeling has stayed with me all day. Thanks guys. Rich likes to take pictures so I finally have some to share. Hope you enjoy them.

My Dad had a landscaper do some work at his home in Las Vegas. Dad commented that he liked his 911. As it turned out he bought the car. He likes to say he spent 18K on his landscaping and the guy through in a Porsche. He shipped the car East when he came here for the summer. When he went back to Nevada he decided to try and sell the car instead of shipping it back. John is a friend who I mentioned the car to. He bought it even though I tried to talk him out of it. He has really enjoyed the car. Today was the first time my dad has seen it since it was sold, almost 4 years ago. Its nice when the prior owner and the current owner can greet each other and they're both smiling. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Dean, thanks for the pictures. I had the same delima this morning, although I had no father egging me to go so it was raking leaves and playing matchbox cars with my son (although we did have a 10 car Ferrari meet of our own on his Playschool Parking Garage). Sorry I missed it... and is that a Lambo emblem I see???
Sorry I missed it... and is that a Lambo emblem I see???[/QUOTE] It is. Here is a couple more pictures of it. It's an interesting engine. The distributor is in the center of the block. The plugs are inside the V. It keeps those plug wires nice and short. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very Cool!!! Makes me wish I had the disposable cash to go buy the Red Countach Peter Sweeney has for sale up at Forza Motorsports.
When I woke this morning I was fairly bummed. The driveway was wet and a scan of the radar was not promising. I've been missing the gathering for far to long and was looking forward to my return. I waited a bit longer and finally decided the hell with rain...the car is a mess anyway and I'll have the whole winter to clean her up. It appears the decision was apt. No rain, only a little misting from the road. I arrived to find Jays car poised in the familiar position but very much alone in Ferrari row. Mikes Truck and Davids Bimmer took up positions in the background. I hadn't noticed at the time but Jess's truck was also present. I went inside to find all the smiling faces consuming a table along with a few other new faces that I should have recognized from last Sunday. A few minutes later Phil, Brett, and Dean arrived, followed by John, Richard, and Dean H. A while later, Peter rolled in with Michelle. And at long last the warm glow of freindship surrounded me like the heat from a cozy campfire and overwelmed me. I was finally back where I belong...with my freinds. Truely great to be in your company. Lane
Congratulations on your deserved success SaintB !! You are a supercar god amongst the rest of us mere mortals. Glad that you've found your way home. Welcome back - Ed -
sorry I missed it. getting out of ALL my weekend work responsibilities is fairly costly I am off next weekend though and prelim weather looks good
Great post Dean, glad your dad enjoyed it! And loved your 'for sale' sign...classic For those who I told...I did 'win' the Ebay auction for a non-functioning shock actuator that I don't need right now. At $1200 for a new one, I can't resist fixing this one just in case.
Here are some of the pictures I took from today's meet.

Only one black car there? Lane had to be in pit bull heaven! Sorry I didn't make it guys. By the time it stopped raining at my place, it was too late to go. I was bummed. Hey, Jay, looks like you have a couple of screws missing.
