Sounds great Andreas!! Spring is right around the corner and so is Ferrari Expo 2013. Here are a few pictures I took today at the shows location, Continental Autosport Ferrari Maserati. They will clear all the cars into the other showroom for the Expo. I can almost hear that V12 running.

We have lots of spare frames, so if you just bring 8x10 prints, that'll be fine. And here is a picture of the trophy for the winner: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Only 2 weeks away............Hope some of you can make it again. I saw a few older cars in the shop including a Vignale 225, ASA, 333SP and several vintage 250's.
Have not been to this show in a long time. Used to be connected with Strictly 43rd. Was great back then, hopefully still is.
Thanks Ron. This is a good show with lots of racing models built to the highest standards. Hope to see you again some day. Road America or COTA?
This pretty little thing was at Continental tonight and I am hoping it will still be there for the Ferrari Expo. Alot of rare Ferrari's in the shop this year. See you all Saturday......... Image Unavailable, Please Login

Remind me next year to wear a FChat shirt or hat. I'll be happy to point you out to the other FChatters.
