    When is the next "import" cruise night ?? preferably Italian, but not necessarily.

    I'd love to go, but need more advance notice than "its on for tonite" .

    soory you just noticed this subject. we have been chatting about it for a couple of weeks. to answer your "import night" it is next week. I will not be going to this show as I think some of the chat guys are going to invade the friday downers grove cruise.

    "IMPORT NIGHT" = Rice Night, so I definately won't be going next week.

    Sorry... should've re-phrased my questions, F355B.

    Really meant "non domestic cool car" night -- Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Lotus, BMW etc. Not the "non domestic fast-n-furious" genre.

    Any shows/events for the former scheduled ??

    I've been hitting most of the Local West Suburban cruise nights. And,I haven't seen any Ricers. Occassionally,Rarely....1 or 2,but,certainly not a "Presence",thats for sure. Even at the Hooters Car Shows last year. I only saw 1......

    I think that they all go to Industrial Parks,or the Incinerators by Chicago and Pulaski to Race for $$$ They don't (Try to,anyway) make any $$ if the car is parked....

    " I think that they all go to Industrial Parks,or the Incinerators by Chicago and Pulaski to Race for $$$ They don't (Try to,anyway) make any $$ if the car is parked...."

    If they did this I'd actually have a lot more respect for them. 9 times out of
    10 they all stand around talking sh*t and nobody races. At least that's
    the case for the meets around the Barrington/Irving and Burger King near
    Roselle/Schaumburg.

    Yeah,I must admit. I don't see barely any around here....There used to be a bunch of Asian Guys renting a house at the end of my block. But they moved.
    They all had Super Tuner NOS Rice Rockets,and when their Buds were over,their would be as many as 10 of them in the driveway. But,when I would cruise by in my 23 year old Ferrari. They'd all stop talking and stare...almost in reverence...of the Ferrari. It was pretty Funny....


    They must have all moved out by Barrington Rd. and Irving Park Rd....:)

    Farmer and 355, how many Fcars were there last night? I wanted to attend but had a dinner meeting. I might go next week. Is it just off Lake-Cook near that bank and little fountain/park honoring vets? Just a kiddy corner away from the Broncos restaurant? I bought my car from Champion Dodge who is their primary sponsor and no one has really mentioned it to me. I know the owner of Champion has a yellow 360.

    Excluding mine and Farmers, I saw a 360CS and a 550. They both left
    before I could talk with them. Then again I got there around 9pm.

    I visited the parents and I went to this last night in my father's 575. I didn't expect much and was surprised at the turn out. The silver 550 and red 360 CS were there and they are owned by the same person. A nice Italian guy who was at Mike E's party and was very friendly and talkative. A black 328 and a red 308 were there but I did not meet the owners. I saw that metallic blue Murciellago but I don't think it was there for too long. A decent show, friendly Ferrari owners. I'd like to go to the next one but I might have to zip down to Florida to see if this new storm might have hurt some of my properties.

    I was there with my red 308 and my Fiat 124 sypder. It was the last event of the season for them. This is a great event. well run safe place for the cars. I told the staff as i was leaving thank you and we will see you next year. they said they will give the f-cars their own aisle.
