Social gatherings--opinions welcome

I love the idea of us all going deep sea fishing together. That would be a blast. AND Golf at Chateau Elan is a must! Great idea Charles!

 

Get us some tickets to the Masters and I'll be there in an NY (make that ENZO) minute!!

 

Charles, if you come here to savannah let me know in advance if i can help in any way. i am just off of exits 109 and 104 on I95. i am also close to I-16 as well. I have secure parking for fcars ect so they dont have to be left at a dock all day. hilton head is 30 minutes from my house, tybee is about 45 minutes ( traffic!). thanks for all your help on the phone with all my questions. i am on the hunt for a euro carb 308 GTB. depends on how some things at work go. michael

 

Charles, Chateau Elan wants at least $3000 up front for us to have a car show there. EEEEKK!

 

Ashville is a great idea. I am up for fishing too. When is the trip?

 

count me in on the golf....at Chateau Elan...never played that course

 

are you serious about the master's tickets?

 

Whens fishing? What about fishing Lake Lanier or ?. You up for that Charles? I am game for fishing for anything.

 

Looks like I will be moving to Atlanta and I'm always interested in any events. What about a Sunday brunch once a month?

 

They have a "British Motorcar Day" every year; why can't they be persuaded to have an "Italian Motorcar Day" as well, which should cost the participants much less?

I think a day filled with Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, etc would be very appealing to the Chateau Elan folks. Does anyone here have any regular dealings with any of their people?

 

IMHO, while deep sea fishing and golf are fine outings for guys to get together to do, they are not what should be planned as an FCA Georgia or Atlanta area event. I believe events that a member's significate other will enjoy as well is more appropriate. And, the events should be a little more of the "wine and cheese" caliber than "beer and chips" . I recall when I first started going to FCA events they were all very upscale and members always brought their significate others. Even the track events had nice picnics during the day and semi-formal or at least dressy-causal dinners in the evenings. And, most of the wives would even drive a Ferrari some on the track in the novice class. I remember one of the best events was when we went up to the Hound's Tooth Inn in North Carolina for a weekend rally and concours that included a tour of the Biltmore and the sampling of several restaurants in the area. I believe Larry Benson and Steve Barney planned that one. Another good one was a rally in North Georgia that had several meeting points along the way at mountain vistas and lunch at a nice B&B . I think you will find that if we set up events that wives/girlfriends will be interested in that everyone will have more fun. You may even fine that your wive/girlfriend will even start liking your Ferrari and not complain as much about your addiction and the amount of money you spend on it. That being said, I am going to post another thread inquiring how many would be interested in a couples event such as a rally and a nice meal or maybe even an overnight stay.

 

Do you mean that some peoples wives/girlfriends actually complain about their addiction to this art which we refer to as FERRARI?

 

LOL !

 

The fellow I'm buying my 328 from is an artist who says he has three great loves in life: his wife, his art, and Ferraris.

Of course, he says his wife always comes first. Smart man......

 

My five loves are God, my wife, my family, my career and then my Ferrari.
