    Fort Worth will represent in New Orleans for the third year in a row for the Ferrari French Quarter Classic. I was wondering if anyone else from the area will be there? I know a couple of people from the Houston area, but what about DFW? We fly out Thurs. a.m.
    ....Oh the joy of clipping along at triple digits and having the biker cop smile and speed up!!

    I'm SO jealous! I know Brian will be there w/ the Stradale and I think Diane is taking her 355.

    Have fun!

    I leave tomorrow morning, driving the 355 to the event. Let's hope the only time I see a smiling biker cop is during the police escort part of the event.

    Got too much work to do to leave early... I'll be leaving mid morning Thursday.

    I'll do what I can to commandeer all the FFQC beads that I can... I need 5 just for my family though... I'll see what I can do.

    Actually, we fly out Thurs a.m.
    We drove the past two years, fun at first, but it gets tiring and it's hard to do the "French Quarter Haul Ass" event on Sunday and still make it home to work on Monday. The cars will be trucked to the Windsor Arms and waiting for us upon arrival.

    My cuz lives in NO and noticed increased F-car sightings this week. He mentioned seeing an Enzo and a 612 being trailered in an open flatbed - YIKES! I think I would pay the extra to have my Enzo covered, but that's just me.

    Jim - I also may have a spare lighted bead set from last year, email me before the next local event to remind me and I will bring you one. I think the next event we were looking at was the Carson's Exotic Car Night #8.

    Diane (Stuntwoman)355? If this is her, it will be fun to see her again. She had a good appearance on the DVD movie of last year's event. I only wish I could remember the episode where she did the stunt driving in Hawaii.

    Tifosi Unite!!

    She also played two of the characters in Titanic. A "First Class" and "3rd Class" passenger. I think both ended up bounching down the ship when it went on end. She has good stroies about the stuntmen from Eastern Europe that were just crazy and actually looked forward to and proud of being so realistic that they would break arms and legs.

    It has been nip and tuck with my father-in-law in the hospital, but things are looking better. So it looks like I'll be able to make it at least for Thursday through Saturday.

    I enjoyed meeting you Speedy308.
    The beer tasted damn good after sucking down splifs of champagne all day. Next year I'll bring my own cooler and I'll give you one (or more).

    I have a video or your blue 308 moving down I-10 this morning- PM me if you want a copy- it's to big to post.
