What time should we plan on being at Outback?
4:30 pm They'll reserve some tables for us. We can have some drinks at the tables at 4:30pm and get organized and order dinner around 5pm. So if anybody has plans for other Holiday parties they can still join and leave early enough. Just hoping the weather won't be too horrible.
Includes any labor and parts you paid for during this year. If you bought a tubi or new wheels that counts as much as doing a 30k on the belts. BTW: I can be very discrete about the numbers if somebody doesn't want the world (or wife) to know. The award is open for everybody coming to the Holiday party. You don't have to be a FOC member to qualify. But the bills have to be for a Ferrari.
Great time last night, it was fun seeing everyone. A big thanks to Andreas for organizing another fun FOC event. It seems if I am to win one of Andreas's very cool trophies I will need to spend more money next year!!
Thanks all for coming. Was a very nice turnout and I'm still stunned over the wonderful gift you guys and gals gave me. Armed with a Ferrari weather station it will be a piece of cake to predict Chicago weather for futurer events. <cough> Right. Congratulations to John and Ann for winning the Gumball trophy. I need to look it up, but I have a feeling you have nailed a 100% record attendance of all FOC events. Also congratulations (or is that commiserations?) to the maintenance award winners: 1) Richard (Flywheel and clutch for 23 Billion USD) 2) Da Twins (30k and waterpump for a mere 537,000 USD) 3) Bill (new tubi at a measly 76,352.25 USD) Somehow I think you guys paid a bit too much. We haven't decided yet what we'll do for next year's awards. Gumball trophy for most events attended is a given and of course individual trophies at events. But we'll hold off on the maintenance event, call it "deferred maintenance". Any interest in another edition of the Mille Miglia challenge? This time open to ALL participants.
Thanks Andreas for the great party. Thanks as well for the great trophy. I sincerely hope I do not win that award again!
Here some pics including of the newly set up weather station. I always wanted one and now I got one with a Ferrari touch. Awesome! It's predicting cloudy sky, slick streats, falling temperatures and an increase in humidity.

As always, another well planned event by Andreas! Every award presented was a work of art! The maintenance awards soften every dollar spent. Great to see familiar faces! Everyone have a great holiday season and we'll see you next year. That is unless we get some driving weather
Thanks Andreas for planning the party and the "prizes!" A great group of people. Have a wonderful holiday and I hope to see you again in the Spring. Ferrari forever!. bill PS: Chris, I did find correct NASA site. Thanks!
It was great seeing everyone. Congrats to all the winners! Great job Andreas, and I owe you for the calendars!! Here's some of my pictures... Dave Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Andreas, I'm really glad you enjoy the gift; we all really love you and respect you. You are truly a Great leader!!! I really wanted to make the party, but I couldn't. The vision in my only good eye has become so bad, that I'm no longer comfortable driving in the dark. I'm hoping that my opthamologist can give me some hope when I see him this coming Friday. I'm glad you all had fun, and Richard, Ed told me he thought you would win the trophy!
I have to say it's been a pleasure working with Andreas on club events. He has done a great job with the FOC. Skip, you need to be more vocal about these things. I could have picked you up & drove you home had I known. Your not that far away. Dave
Great FOC Christmas Party!! Sorry, I didn't get around to speak to everyone, there were so many in attendance, it was simply great! With all this cold weather coming in, there are no more driving days left this year. So I'll have to start the Ferrari-Dos. Kind of like Honey-Dos, but more important
It really looks like everyone had a great time. Mary and I really wanted to attend but were called out of town for a family emergency. Hopefully we will be able to catch up with everyone at events in the spring. Happy Holidays to all!
Thanks 'Dabe', I know I can count on you and some others, I just didn't want anyone to have to go out of their for me.
Awwww SStop Ittt Skipula.... I'm trying to work and these papers on my desk are getting flooded out by the tears... Bwaaaaaa !!!!
I'm sorry Billiam, I didn't mean to make you cry, though it was a nice sobbing we had together at midnight when you called!
