    I got the word that my Stradale was being delivered yesterday. I was able to get there just in time to get a few photos of it coming off the truck. Hopefully I'll pick the car up either tomorrow or Saturday. Attached is the first of many photos to come.

    Regards,
    Chris

    You'll love it - have to say looks like first scuderia red without stripe (this is what my good lady wanted me to get)

    AT LAST!

    More than ready to see another Stradale on the street. Are you thinking about FoW's track event 6/26-27 at Summit? I'll be there the 26th only.

    Congratulations - and post more pics.

    How can you stand it?

    The wait would KILL me, particularly after seeing it come off the truck!

    Great color choice!

    All,
    Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. Words can't describe how excited I am about this car. I can't wait to get behind the wheel. I've attached a few more pictures from when the car was delivered to FoW. I'll post some more after I take delivery off the car on Saturday.


    Will,
    I was under the impression that the 6/26-27 track event at Summit was canceled. Is it back on again? I definitely plan on having the car broken in by then. Are you definitely taking your Stradale out west in August?

    Regards,
    Chris

    Chris - Did you drive yours with the protective covering still on? I couldn't resist taking mine out at that stage - the two tone look attracts a lot of attention.

    You're right about the June track event, sorry. Disappointing. There's an FCA event at the Glen next week, but I'm going to pass. Depending on cost, I may join VIR's program just to get a few track days down there; I like VIR's run-off room.

    As for the trip West, I'm undecided. Transport is expensive, given that I may not be able to stay for the track days. I could tow it myself, but that's a loooong trip, and where do I put the trailer? The locals will come after me with torches and pitchforks if I park a 24 foot enclosed trailer on a Carmel side street. Are you taking yours?

    I remember the last couple days of waiting, visiting the car but not being able to leave with it:
