Here are a few scenes from earlier today. Thanks for having us Joe. Good job Charles, we need more get-togethers like this one. Nothing like having lunch in the garage next to the Enzo, F40, and 360 Spider. Better atmosphere than most restaurants I've been to.

Thanks to all who attended!!! I had a great time meeting all of you! Many thanks to Charles for coordinating the event. Special thanks to Adrian for the wonderful art work on the plaque. Very much enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful Ferraris............ Rolands LM is very cool....What a car! Sounded like perfection. Looking forward to doing it again next year. Joe
went there, but couldnt find the link...where do i look..i really enjoyed the event, the food was great, the cars were gorgeous and the people, well, Ferrari people are the nicest anywhere.
Coach, click on Gallery and you will see it at the bottom: Enzo viewing & BBQ 2007. By the way, it was good seeing you and Julie again. Looks like you have been taking care of yourself also.
Please say hi to Roland for me! I miss the barbecues he used to host when he was here in Colorado. Always a gracious host and an all-around good guy. I heard that Roland had some difficulties selling his famous F-40. He still has it, then? I rather hope so. ~Bradley
well, it was a great pleasure to see you too Adrian. You look great. I hope you continue to take care of yourself; I could drop 10 pounds myself. I was unable to locate the fca-se.org gallery pade...can you PM me with the link? thanks
Thanks Joe and his family for hosting this and Charles for Organizing the event! Great to see everyone. And Roland, the man, What a ride! I mean you guys with air conditioners, quite pipes, and regular suspensions, well, let's just say you're soft... The ride back through 19 to Chapin was fabulous! Now for the start from Columbia...

For a final treat, Roland and I Stopped by my good friend Bob Oswalt's shop in Batesburg-Leesville. I am telling you, the country drive from Aiken was... well how do you describe a 110 mile ride in an F40 with Roland, on lightly traveled country highway roads.. And then to have Bob open his fully air conditioned and beautifully prepared shop..well, let's just say we really enjoyed the other horses this day!
