    Hi David,

    Nice seeing you again, your 308 and meeting you son. There where a lot of F cars in Aarberg that day, and good to have an expert like you to fill us in on the more vintage models.

    Unfortunately we got hopelessly lost on the way out of the venue and missed the ride, and ended up driving back to Zurich in the rain :(

    This weekend is looking good for the Susten-Grimsel-Furka drive - but I just got back from a holiday in Salento Italy a few hours ago and feeling a bit tired, so not sure if I will be up for it. The "Ferrari fever" will probably kick in on Saturday and I will be there - but keeping my options open until then :)

    So, this time the weather forecast looks good!

    The plan still is this:
    10.30 meet in Zurich at Mythenquai on the parking place opposite to Swiss Re (as usual)
    11.00 drive off
    12.30 meet in Wassen F430giallomodena and barabba from Ticino to do some passes together

    ze_shark: Would be great to meet you there too!

    @Stefano: Where do we meet in Wassen?

    See below for the list of who is in. Anybody else?

    See you soon

    Happy to join on Sunday as well.

    I was hoping that my wife would join us for the first time as my co-driver. Being pregnant, she refused to do so, fearing that the roaring of the V8 might be not too beneficial for the unborn child. I do not really agree, quite on the contrary...
    A friend from Germany will assume the role of the co-driver. She took all the way from Munich to be part of our event.

    Markus, Remo is not coming?

    Hi Markus,
    Thanks ! Noon, is very, very late, especially on a week-end day. For me, these passes are best enjoyed early in the morning. Maybe I see you in Wassen after I've done all 3 ;-)
    Not sure yet which car I'll take, but if you see a Nart blue 355 GTS or a Grigio 550, that might be me. In any case, enjoy what promises to be a very nice week-end.
    Cheers, JC

    Martin – Great you (and your co-driver from Munich) are in! Too bad your wife does not want to come. I agree with her that 8 cylinders could be critical but 12 cylinders are no problem at all :D:D:D

    See you soon

    Markus

    PS: Remo is in Copenhagen this weekend

    Maybe you want to send me a PM with your mobile number. So we can check when we are there.

    Hi Markus
    Hopefully I will see you all at Mythenquai, but it's not 100% certain.

    Fingers crossed.

    We have a house full of kids, half of them aren't mine :eek:

    Went hiking in the Susten region today (Triftbrücke). Good thing that you are planning your tour tomorrow because today was the Alpenbrevet. Scores of cyclists, with the usual downhill kamikaze, and some worryingly under trained. Some were starting the climb to the Sustenpass from Wassen at ... 4pm. And they were not going fast.

    I will not be joining the Susten-Grimsel-Furka ride tomorrow, although I might drop by in the morning to say hi.

    I just got back from a driving holiday in Italy and I am all driven out. We drove the "heel" of Italy and it was a lot of fun, although I would not take the Ferrari on those roads :)

    Only downside of the trip is Eurocar "upgraded" us from a manual Fitat 500, Cabriolet, to an automatic, Audi A3, Cabriolet, Diesel! Nice car, but no stick shift Fiat 500 :)

    If after the passes you guys are meeting somewhere than let me know and I might join you if you are in the area.

    Yes, it was a great day with great people and great cars! It was very cool to meet Stefano and Jean-Claude in Wassen and do the trip together with them!

    Too bad Simon with his 328 could not find us in Zurich! And too bad William missed our trip!
    BTW: Where is Simon with his Speciale?
