    Yes, Patriek, I am planning on it, if I can get the last few pieces of the puzzle in place. Let's get together for a drink. Will you be bringing your 430?

    Maybe, but I don't think so, it's my friend that will drive, he own a 355, but want to go with his other car, a (new) Lancia diesel, a lot more comfort he says .... but maybe,

    how many people can attend such a event you think ? .... I hope it will be Schumi that will be the driver, .... I REALLY WANT A PIC WITH SCHUMI !!!!

    I don't know how many they allow before they cut it off...not a large number, I'm sure.

    If you do go, remember to bring a video camera!

    Footage from test days are very hard to come by... we would greatly appreciate it! :)

    If you drive there in a Ferrari or two, I'm sure the team will be alot more accomodating ;)

    John and I signed up the day it appeared (17 March). I believe the number of attendees possible is about 50 +/-. (Last year had something like 50 folks from 12 countries). I know that per recent email exchanges with Ferrari, at the time we were the only ones from the USA (Gary, have you already registered?) and the others were from Belgium (obviously you, Patriek!), Holland and Germany and they were still gathering orders. If this is at all like the Owner's Site Factory Tour we took last October, it's definitely a worthwhile endeavor. I am thinking like you Patriek - hoping that MS is the driver - I would really like a photo with him too!! I was also thinking, you know the new three seater - well, I could certainly fit in one of the pod seats! This is one crazy trip for us - leave US on Tuesday, back to Milan Thursday night to come back to US Friday. Return to Milan the following Tuesday (arrive Wednesday), Alfa Romeo Museum, freebie dealer (FoH)arranged factory tour Thursday, San Marino Friday (Maranello Rosso Museum/Abarth Museum) and Imola for GP Saturday/Sunday, back to Milan for Monday flight. Gary, -> not going into Bologna this time as the airfare out of DFW to BLQ was just about $4,000 per person! (Maybe we should have congered up a few more folks and rented one of the BlueStarJets!)

    We've arranged an earlier check in at the hotel before the noted check in time so perhaps we can all meet and have a drink and celebrate our love of F-Cars and a great time ahead of us! We are definitely looking forward to this.
    Counting down the days,

    Carol

    They will let you video tape the events? That's nice of them.

    Hi Gary -

    We'll be in earlier than the check in time on our documents so we might give you a jingle and meet earlier?? Sorry to hear that your airfare inside Europe went from 6.99 GBP to 14.99 GBP one way - what a bummer!!! Have a safe trip.

    Wonder what the Test Day will be like with Ferrari not doing so well in the GP's???

    Carol & John
