It was a very small low key, event. My friend went with the 250 cab and had a ticket for me but I didn’t have time to do the whole Miami there and back.
Maybe it’s just the photos I saw, but it looked like a neighborhood gathering, albeit a very exclusive neighborhood. Clearly, a few significant cars, but I guess I was expecting a limited gathering of the most exclusive examples. I guess it goes back to my earlier point that owners will become much more selective about where to take their cars. It’s a lot of work and expense to prepare and transport a car to these events.
Particularly with Monterey coming up. You don't ship these cars willy nilly. There was a reason Cavallino was held early in the year.
Two weeks isn’t much notice for an event like this. I haven’t even received an email announcement about it. Surely this must have been planned for months.
Our next trip to Italy will include Bologna for sure. Osteria Francescana has become something of a cult destination so I’d probably choose someplace more “rustic” in Modena or Maranello.
