    Wondering if there would be any interest in a day gathering at my place in Milwaukee this coming summer. Actually I am just south of Milwaukee in Caledonia. Wondering what it would take to host a get together at my place this summer or maybe next summer. I have almost 6 acres. I have a 3 hole golf course on the one side of my property. It is my golf course. I have a pool and a nice patio that is covered. Certainly a nice big yard to park Ferrari's by the pool. Just wondering if any one would be interested. Would like to consider August. Maybe late July or very early September. It may end up being hot but the chance of rain is low that time of the year here. Any one have any input? Not sure if I could pull it off, just wondering.

    I'd be interested. Caledonia is a nice drive from Fox Point.

    Any chance to make it open to other exotics? I'd bring my beautiful NSX. If not I might be able to convince Jeff328 to take me, he lives a mile from me. Great looking house/property by the way! And I thought I had a lot of room with an acre!

    P.S. great idea!

    I would say it would be open to all exotics. But just the high end exotics. No Corvettes, Mustangs. Nothing against Corvettes or Mustangs etc. This would just be for exotics. The NSX qualifies. I love NSX's. But I had to have a Ferrari.

    I wouldn't worry too much about what it would take to pull it off. Get a bunch of guys together with all their cars shined up and a nice setting and everyone will just enjoy talking about their passions.

    P.S. congratulations on the new 348 - one of my favorite cars of all time. Thanks for the nod for bringing the NSX, I agree it should be high-end exotics. I have a Porsche as well, but the NSX would fit in even better.

    Golf course, pool, 6 acres...where's the road race course? I'll make it, your only minutes from me. Check road america schedules to make sure there are no overlapping events. Cool

    Nice to see yet another ferrari in this neck of the woods :).

    Mera, did you just buy your house? I think I still see Faye Beckers sign in the picture!

    Which neck of the woods are you in? I believe I live a couple of minutes from you, and would love to stop buy and see the car... Are you up by the Johnsons, or further from the Lake?

    Nice to see more and more affluence in the area :).

    Bought Jim Kezman's house about 4 years ago. That picture is from when I was buying it back then. Still looks the same.

    It is just behind the Shamrock on Hy 38 and Seven Mile road. That little secluded neighborhood in behind the restaurant. About 18 houses in here. A doctor built a big house in here a few years ago. It is well back and you really can't see it from the road. After that the other houses in here are mid level. Mine is out of place. When I tell people how to get to my house I tell them that when they drive in my house is the "Look at that place!" house. :)

    I just want to make something clear. Ferrari Owners Club is different that Ferrari Club of America right?

    Hi Rodney, give me a call when you have time and we can start working on an event.

    My phone number is the same.

    If you'd like to become a member of the FOC, we could work with you.

    Wish I had never sold my Mera. I've tried to buy it back a couple of times, but the owner won't sell!

    I think the 'Replica Haters' would be impressed with both of our cars.

    Have you had much chance to drive the 348 yet?

    Here's a site you might enjoy. if you haven't already found it.

    I thought Caledonia was in Spain..........is Barcelona in the neighborhood also??

    I would love to come but I think the cost of flying over "the yellow fever" from Scandinavia to you would be just too much.

    Trust you will have a nice meeting even if we are not there.

    Send some photos of your event................please.

    Rgds,

    I have a white testarossa. I drive past your neighborhood frequently, on my way to I94. Small world.

    One other guy on Main Street has a 348, another in Caledonia has the yellow 355. I haven't met the latter, though see the car all over the place.

    When the weather turns nice, I will try to stop by and say hi.

    Is it a 6spd? I dunno... I'm probably going to start out with something a little more "entry model." 328? 348? Maser Coupe? Mike's pushing for a 996 ;). Either way it will be a few months as business ramps up. In another 2 weeks I really start meeting with clients.
