    It's that time again! Ferraris and Friends 2012 happening October 5,6,7 2012 in Fort Wayne We have some really cool stuff on tap. Here is the breakdown of events:

    Ferraris and Friends is a private weekend long celebration of special cars and the owners who are crazy about them! Ferrari is the featured marque, but will involve multiple car clubs/groups and anyone with a unique/special vehicle. This year we will be featuring a very special vehicle called the "Futurliner"

    The weekend will evolve as follows:

    Champagne Reception at Sycamore Hills Country Club
    Entered cars will be parked strategically on the course for photo op. Heavy Hors d'ouvres and cash bar at the club.
    Live Auction

    Please visit www.ferrarisandfriends.com for more information and to register.

    On the Ferrari Front, we had between 40 and 50 Ferraris in attendance last year and are planning on more this year! We will have covered parking for Ferraris with armed overnight security so you won't have to worry! If you wish to trailer in, we will provide parking for your trailer.

    If you happen to be a Corvette fan, you will NOT want to miss this event. We are planning on a significant number of Corvettes with the goal of a historic gathering. Of note, the GM Futurliner is one of the ways that GM introduced the 1953 Corvette. Won't want to miss a '53 Vette sitting with a beautifully restored Futurliner!!! there
    Hope to see you there!

    Friday is the more formal night with an impressive display of cars. We had ~120 on display last year. It's a fantastic evening. Saturday is more of a jeans/tshirt day with driving, tech sessions, friendship, food and drink. We did some really fun drives last year and had an all around great day that ended in a party!
    Sunday is more of a low key send off with a AM drive and coffee at DeBrand.

    Would love to see you there Amenasce!

    Hey Chicago Guys!

    Are any of you (besides Amenasce) thinking of trekking to Ft. Wayne for this event? We have a hotel arranged with covered parking and armed security. Seems to me like a great opportunity for a Ferrari/exotic caravan!

    Gang,

    We are trying to pull off something special this year at Ferraris and Friends. Our Featured vehicle is the GM Futurliner. In 1953 the Futurliner toured the US promoting the brand new Corvette. Our goal is to have 1 example of every Corvette from 1953-2013 alongside some very lovely Ferraris. We are almost there! If you know of anyone with a nice Vette who is interested in being a part of this, please let them know. We are in search of the following years:
    74, 76, 77, 79, 80, 85, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 97, 99.

    If we can fill this gap, this will be only the 2nd time in history that this feat has been accomplished.

    Plenty of exotics registered and down to around 6 Vette's needed to pull off this 60 car display. Too bad I can't get any of yous from Chicago to come down the block......:(
