    Howdy Dave,
    It was good to see your 4.6 foot yesterday and I hope that the ATV will make your life easier on your place...I'll post a "schedule "' for the BBQ in a new post.

    Ryan, you're back ??? We missed you and some of our friends in Northern Cal were wondering about you.
    I did try to reach you while in Denver but no luck. PM me with the latest news
    and I hope that you'll be at the BBQ ????


    My 2cents on FOD since this is still in the go. They were a SUPER help when I brought my LM years ago just before the first event. They put ALL the resources to get my car done in time (3 days) and even let me and my mecanic work with Dave and other workers. They all got out of their way to finish my car in time and even got me some help at PPIR.
    I have the most respect for them and the same goes to my good old "short" buddy Dave.
    Have a great day

    Hey John, Roland, Audrey and Adrian!

    I am the driver of the Yellow Murcielago at the Players Run! What a blast that was. Wow, this is an intense thread. John, sorry to hear about what happened. You are a good man, and it's better that this happen now instead of later. Roland, thanks for taking Trace on the track in the F40, she is still talking about it. Audrey, whasap girl! Adrian, 1200hp? Have you gone mad?

    What's this about old lonely men wanting somewhere to hang out? I'm not old (32), and I'm far from lonely, but I still like to be on F-Chat!

    Peace!

    Don't worry, you will meet "shortY" Dave. He will be in charge of the valet parking...
    All jokes aside, he is an amazing Ferrrai mecanic who did a lots of work on my car.
    Unfortunately, he did hurt his back and he can't stand straight ...till he will get surgery.
    See you soon,

    Hey Roland- i'm not so sure that you can stand straight up either. Maybe you and Dave can share a semi- private room at the hospital that does the surgery. He can bring his picture of you and vice-versa. Later!

    Frank refers to it as "vertically challenged German blockhead", my co-workers / daughters simply call it "bent over old guy", and taunt me that I cant catch them to debate the issue!
    All of this is because they are envious that I made it to the big time as the official BBQ Valet! All these years of work, and it only took knowing the right people to get to the top!
    Dan,
    Just a "bent over old blockhead" playing in the grease, and now having the time of my life doing it with my wife and daughters. Who would have ever guessed that these women that gave me the gray hair were actually watching and learning when I was working on the cars? They grew up around these cars, and it is a treat watching the respect they have for these cars when working on them. Looking forward to meeting you as well,
    Dave

    Frank,
    You have a point here , Dave and I could have a discount at the hospital !!! In fact, with what I spent there I could own that sucker !!
    For you Dave, you might get to the top being our parking attendant, but again, you'll have to look from down below...hehehehe
    Have a great week end and see you all in 2 weeks

    Hey Clax:

    Nice to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words - and I agree. Unfortunately I kept the soap opera going here longer than I should have, but I was quite angry. Despite my passengers motivations for going, I also thought that run was a blast and I did meet some great people. Say hi to Trace. Do you think you guys will ever be through Denver? Roland and I are trying to coordinate some other events to do outside Colorado. Let us know if you have anything coming up big in your part of the world.

    I would like to get a ride from you or Audrey sometime. Hey Audrey... why don't you drive that green thing out here to Denver? It would be my first time in a Murcielago.

    Thanks again!

    John
    (Old? Well maybe,,, kinda. Lonely? No way, Not yet!)

    Hey I'm new to the board and I'm afraid I don't fit in very well....I don't hate anyone yet, nobody's cheated on me and I kinda like FOD.
    For anyone else that's interested I know a pretty good F mechanic in the springs that wont rip you off. He just loves F cars and works for the love of it not for the money.

    Welcome!

    As president of "Spurned.chat" I would like to say that the drama and soap opera threads seem to get read about 7.36 times more than the average "fix my car" and "who's in the lambo?" threads.

    This has merely been a clever exercise on my part as I have been conducting a shrewd test marketing on readership of this thread as I am about to launch a huge advertising campaign designed to hit my new target audience.

    Please stay tuned. And thank you for participating..... Now, Dam it Audrey,,,, Where is that green thing?

    Hey guys! It's Audrey.
    I had so much fun with everyone on the run. I wish I would have gotten to ride with Roland on the track in Kansas! The Murcielago has been in the shop for the last few weeks. It needed an oil change and the transport company that shipped it back from LA took a chunk out of the bumper so.... I have been going through withdrawals!! I'm adding another Lambo to our collection. A metallic orange Gallardo that will be delivered today with the Murci. I would love to drive that out to Colorado. The Murci is fun but I'm sure I will drive the Gallardo more. (it's smaller) The Murci was alot of fun though on the Players Run. I can't believe how smooth 175mph is. :) Hey Johnny, I have my own soap opera playing out in my personal life as well, so I feel your pain. Keep in touch guys.

    Howdy Audrey, (that sounds good ),
    Johnny and you should come to the ranch (John is here every week anyway)
    and exchange your soaps...Plenty room here and I can make room in the lower shop and push the 2 Porsche to make room for the Gallardo..
    The best to you and the new car. Remember that Colorado is not that far away.

    Hello Audrey, This would be a pleasure to work with you. We have a very good track along I 25 not far from the ranch. I have a class per week with only a max of 3 cars at the time or less(even better).
    Check my web site to have more info :www.sportcarschool.com
    I think that I have a Gallardo in it from PPIR . What a car !!
    Keep me posted if you plan to swing by our state, we will have room for you.
    Take care

    Hi Audrey:

    We have a big track event here in Colorado coming up on August 28 & 29. It is at PPIR which is quite a nice facility with garages and other amenities for the cars and drivers. Roland is going to be a part time instructor and a part time participant. So,,, I think you ought to bring one of your brightly colored bulls out and have Roland help you out a little bit. What do ya think?

    John
