    Yes ... I'll be there. Unfortunately, though, I'll be flying solo. Diane will be in Florida to help our daughter during the birth of their #2. She'll be spending quality grandma time, with our 2yr old grand-daughter ... while our daughter recovers from a c-section, and gets familiar with having 2 kiddles. Maybe I should pick up a hook... well maybe not!

    ROFLMAO!! Hmmm... don't worry about that... if the "chips" fall into place, you will still have a good ride/drive that weekend. ;) Looking forward to seeing you and the 365 again!

    Yes. We are having discussions with the Casino to try to have some roped off or reserved parking somewhere. As of now, they don't have any special events planned for the day, so it shouldn't be a problem.

    We'll keep everyone posted.

    Thanks for checking!

    That would be wonderful ... make it much easier to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Nothing more impressive that a stable of Ferrari to grace the entrance of your casino!!!

    I have an open seat, but don't expect driving like Sunny...on Ortega, those cliffs scare me, so not quite Granny driving, but sure as hell ain't Schumi either.

    You can come, but no *****ing about my music (80's)

    Thanks Brian! Id love a ride in a Mondial! Yea, I take it easy when I drive Ortega as well. I do it for the scenery...not the speed. As far as the music, Im just a material guy at heart in a material world :)

    Did you get the video I sent you? I had to send it from my secondary e-mail account since hotmail wouldnt allow attachments that big.

    EVENT UPDATE:

    Thanks for the huge interest everyone! The response is overwhelming!!

    We have a huge turnout of Ferraris and NSX's for this event. Over 25 cars have confirmed already! Just as an update, here are the cars that have confirmed attendance:

    Ferrari models: 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, 365, 512TR, 550B, F40, Mondial (still waiting to confirm on a few more)

    Others: Boxster S, NSX, M3


    Caravan Meeting times:
    W.LA 7:30am - for location, contact Jean-Louis at [email protected]
    OC 8:00am - for location, contact Byron at [email protected]
    SD - Contact sunny directly at [email protected]
    (Actual meeting location/time for the drive is still the same)

    Logistics:
    We have been informed by the casino that due to ongoing construction and scheduling conflicts on their part, we have some difficulties with reserved parking. We are currently trying to find a workable alternative - if not, we will alter our plans slightly so that we can accomodate safe parking for your cars - perhaps move to a different casino destination. Details are forthcoming.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Bryan ... we all appreciate your efforts in putting together great events! Keep up the good work!!

    By the way, it will certainly make our dining experience more enjoyable, if secure parking can be arranged.

    I'm bringing my grandson, Dylan with me. This will be his first opportunity to fly shotgun! See you all on Sunday ... we'll have a wonderful time driving and dining!

    EVENT UPDATE:

    Good news!!

    Thanks to the valiant efforts of our event coordinators, we've secured private parking in the parking structure at one of the casinos. They will provide bike patrol and camera surveillance during our entire time there.

    Hopefully, the weather holds up - we hope to have a relaxed, fun, and most of all, safe day out there! For safety reasons, if it rains, we may need to reschedule.

    Looking forward to seeing you all there on sunday!

    Thanks,
    FDC

    I hope so too, because if it rains, I'm out. I have to replace to rubber guards on my car in between the front/rear windows - otherwise water will come into the car.

    Have no fear, the weather predicts the only clear day on Sunday with the rest of the days party cloudy. Highs upper 60's to low 70's. :)
