    Hi everyone. A few of us got together and planned a Ferrari event to be held in Chattanooga, TN. In the past many have asked when would the next event in Chattanooga be. Well, here it is. We are planning a 1 day event to be held on June 10th. Now since we are hoping to get quite a few out of towners we thought a few might want to spend the night. They could either come in on June 9th or stay over and leave on the 11th. The plans are to have a few select rooms held at the Marriot at a discounted rate. However, this depends greatly on how many will be staying and what day.

    The event on June 10th. We are planning a nice get together that will include a mountain drive with lunch followed by a photo shoot in front of the aquarium. We are planning to have lunch in the historic Bluffview Art district. We have 2 places that we have set aside but we will need to know a ballpark of how many people are coming so we reserve the correct facility. Parking is very nice and they will allow us to rope off a section. For those that are staying the night we will have a nice dinner downtown full of fellowship and Ferrari stories.

    We are very excited about hosting an event. The last event was 6 years ago so we are due. We hope to have a great turn out. Please let me know if you plan on making the trip especially any out of towners. I would be happy to put together some directions for everyone. Thanks and l hope that many of you can come.

    I guess it's assumed I'm in since of my location, but no F-Car here (unless I can steal the boss' 308) but I don't see that happening. So we'll see you guys there.

    Also, as far as the rooms go I'll need a couple of day to be able to get the rate before the meet, they say at least 10 rooms but I'm working on them and another hotel. I really like the Marriott though because of the security cameras all over the parking garage.

    Sounds great, guys. I'm in for 2. Bluffview Art District is an excellent spot, and if you are staying overnight, the Bluffview Inn in the district has some great old mansion rooms to let. I stay there as often as I can. Let me know if I can help.

    I remember you. You had a 355 spider back then. I have a nice picture of you and I eating hardboiled eggs. Why we were eating those I don't know but anyway. Everyone I show that pic to thinks you look a lot like Jimmy Buffett. It would be nice to see you again.

    It never crossed my mind until I was checking out hotels today, but that is the begining weekend of Riverbend. So if any of you would like to go to that I believe the pins are $27.00 in advance.

    Rick which car did you bring last time? I am sure we met if you came but I don't remember.

    I would like to see your 430 also. I have never seen one in person.

    That was a GREAT event, and a nice drive, beautiful spot for lunch picnic, and super evening at the aquarium. Thanks for the hard work back then... much appreciated and still have good memories. I also remember my neighbor and I hitting the century plus 50 mark on the way back to Huntsville... two red 308QVs side-by-side.

    The last event we had at the Aquarium with dinner and then we met across the river at the park. The ferrari I had was a black 400. And by the way the newer toy is a 360 modena not a 430. My wife's hunter/jumper would have to go if I was able to move up to a 430! Does anybody know if Kurt Stamier and Greg Wright are coming? Thanks Rick

    I was talking to Bob on the 430. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the info I just didn't remember the 400i.

    Hopefully you can make it out to this event. Not sure about Kurt Stagmeier or Greg Wright. Rich is planning on coming.

    I agree it was a great event. It will be nice to see you guys again.
