    The Concorso is right around the corner! I really hope you NY and NJ guys will make the short trip. Please come find me in the orange Lambo hat.
    Sunday June 30th, if you haven't registered your car yet, this should help.

    We just secured a large detailing company, Adam's Premium car care will be opening up shop in Hartford, as a sponsor for the show. The best part is for all those who preregister, you will get a $50 car care kit in your gift bag!!! We are so excited to have them on board, I attached the link so you can see what you'll be getting.

    I felt the need to post a letter I got this morning.

    Dear Mr. Karam,

    Tears are running down my face as I type this to you. We just received the call that Tyler will be one of the riders at the West Hartford Concorso event. I wanted you to know a little about him, as to know the impact and magnitude of what you are doing for my son.



    Tyler is 20 years old. He has spent many holidays, vacations and school time in hospital rooms. He has had 14 surgeries and another one is scheduled. He has Craniosynostosis, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, Kidney disease plus a bunch of other issues.



    Tyler is one of the best people I have ever met. He is smart, funny, insightful and you will never forget him. I hope you have the pleasure of meeting him! He was born on Christmas Day and has been a gift to me since.



    One of Tyler's loves in life is CARSSSSSSSSSSS!! His uncles are both "gear heads". One has a 69 Camaro convertible and the other a 1986 5.0 Super charged Mustang. They bring him to car shows and drag races when Tyler is well.



    It has not been an easy path by any means. I was a single mom with a special needs child. I put myself through school while going through the hospital stays and surgeries. I worked nights after he went to sleep, went to school during the day and hammered down. I wanted a better life for him.



    The people we have meet throughout have changed our life forever! You are now part of that list. People ask me on a regular basis, "How come you are always so happy?" Because my eyes have seen so much kindness of others, so much love and so much raw emotion. It changes you. It changes how you view people. Politics, money, power become mute. I have had the pleasure of seeing peoples hearts and souls. You are making a dream come true for not only my son, but for his mom. What a joy!!! May God bless you and all involved as you will probably never know the eminence of how these acts of kindness get us through.



    Thank you with all of my being!


    a.k.a. Tyler's Mom

    Is the event rain or shine? I am coming regardless, but want to make sure other Italian car owners are not afraid of the forecast.

    I made it up north from LI to spectate at the show and I succeeded in spotting the GTB Turbo. Never seen one in person, so for me, this was a real treat to see.

    How does it drive compared with a regular 328? Did Ferrari add ABS and the suspension changes to the turbo as well in '88/89? Any idea how many turbos made it to the US?

    I don't think any were originally sold in the US. It drives really well and once the turbo kicks in it moves nicely.

    When ours reached 25 years old we were able to bring it in.

    I really like it a lot.

    Enzo gave this one to Nino Vacarella in 1988.
