    Andreas, I would love to come (weather permitting)...save me a spot :).

    Does this mean I have to wash my car ;)?

    You might have to wash it AFTER the show. :)

    Think Schaumburg, Woodfield Mall, a few blocks north of there.

    It runs till about 4pm, maybe less.
    You can certainly come as late as 11am, you're just risking not getting a parking space next to us. I'll do my best to reserve you one, but no guarantees.

    Count of cars:
    Sean TR
    Bo TR
    Carla 355
    Vince 355
    Richard 348C
    Dave 308
    Twins 308
    Rick Daytona-R
    Andreas Daytona-R

    What's wrong with this picture? Ah yes, we're missing a 2nd 348C. :)

    Yea but if you play your cards right you will see more Ferraris and other exotics than you ever saw in your life next weekend. Hope to meet you out there. I'm flying out Wed early.

    Plans have changed for me so I plan to be at Hooters for the event. See everyone tomorrow.

    Sorry Vince and Richard, that you couldn't make it, but luckily we got a couple of surprise visitors with their Ferraris, so the count basically remained the same.

    It was great seeing everybody again and we got lucky with the weather. I'll post pics later once I get a chance to download them.

    Nice pics!
    It was a nice small show.
    I came later on around 2, so I didn't get to see the white Testarossa or the red 355.

    There is no V8 Volante. Volante is Aston-speak for convertible. It's a V8 Vantage.

    Technically, not true, previous V8 Vantage Volante's were produced. For the current model however, those aren't coming around until next year.

    BTW, how's the F430?

    That was all of the numbnuts' from Illinois coming back from a weekend in my state. I have to say, I am growing a tad tired of traffic EVERY Sunday heading south on 90 because of the sheer mass of Illinois drivers on our roads.

    I swear to you, 80% of every car on the road at that time has Illinois plates. Can someone tell me why we don't have TOLLS up at our border near Beloit??? A $1 toll would probably knock $50 off my property taxes. Seriously. It is getting old.

    And you think traffic is bad at the border or where you live now. LOL Wait till you have fun in the Bay area. Head out of town on a Friday night or return into the bay on Sunday nights. You're going to love the traffic, ie just like Chicago but worse at times. However, Bill there is a bright side, once you get away from the city there are great roads to take up and down the coast and around Tahoe that you really will enjoy. But wait isn't that a family from Illinois driving and gawking down HW 1 as you try to get around them? See you out there.

    You are, of course, right. I'm a dumbass. I was actually thinking about that on the drive into work today and planned to post my retraction :)
