What, no accordion??

 

Do you guys get together every weekend starting 4/15 ??, I would like to bring my 246 spider, Is it about Italian cars or just Ferraris..!! I have never been and I dont much about it...would you let me know,

thanks

 

It's usually the third Saturday each month, and it covers all "exotics", not just Italian ones. Largest contingents are usually Ferrari, Lotus and Porsche, but at times we also get Alfas, Aston Martins, Cobras, Corvettes, DeLoreans, de Tomasos, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Morgans and Triumphs.

But I don't recall a Dino. Your 246 would be most welcome!

 

If coming from the T Rutlands event, what is the easiest way to get to Giovanni's?

Back to 285 to 400 to Windward Pkwy?

 

The shortest distance from Rutlands to Giovanis is:

Jimmy Carter west to 141, 141 north to Giovanis... (make sure you stay to the left at the Peachtree Parkway / Peachtree Industrial split)

Not the scenic route and in rush hour not the least time, but on Saturday afternoon it should be clean sailing and between 20 to 35 minutes travel.


After Giovanis.... Go 141 south.. 1st light make a right, which is McGuiness Ferry (also the south end of the shopping Plaza Giovanis is in) right again about 2 short lights ( for some reason McGuiness does this) this is still McGuiness Ferry.......Mcguiness Ferry to Winward Parkway (can only turn left as this is where Winward dead end "T's". There's a stop light there. Don't have to go anywhere near 285 or the 400. (Thank God)

A couple of notes: for the unaware, Mountain Industrial Blvd, the road that passes by the industrial park where Rutlands is located, becomes Jimmy Carter Blvd.

Now, when you get up to Peachtree Industrial, you can't get directly onto Peachtree Pkwy. You have to turn right just before the underpass, get on Peachtree Industrial, then make the first left onto Holcomb Bridge Rd. From there you turn right on Peachtree Pkwy and continue north. I know that sounds confusing, but it's the only way.

If the traffic on Jimmy Carter (which gets heavy near I-85, probably even on Saturday) seems worth avoiding, a weekend alternative is to take LaVista Road from Tucker west to I-285, take that north to Peachtree Industrial, and go north on Peachtree Industrial (which is a freeway at that point) to the split onto Peachtree Pkwy. It's longer distancewise but somewhat less frenetic, at least on a weekend.

 

Giovanni's will def. be after Rutland's. Everyone is invited and ask your friends to come out. I will be driving something up to Giovanni's if anyone wants to follow me. To add to the list this month our new TVR will be there!

 

Now that would be special! And if the Dino appears it will be a real good affair.

 

This sounds like fun, I will bring my Dino.

 

It is always a great affair but a Dino would add to the fun! Hope to see you out there...

 

Appreciate the directions.

There's nothing worse than fumbling with a map in your old Ferrari, worrying about somebody running into you and not knowing where to go.

Thanks,

Drew

I made a flyer! Feel free to copy it and hang it at your workplace or wherever.

I chose 8 PM as a closing time, since most will be leaving or will have left by then, even though some may choose to stay longer.

The list of "other marques" is based on those I remember having seen there at least once, and is not intended to be all-inclusive.

Wish I could make it, but my 355 will still be at FOA. Maybe next month.

Jim......... I like the flyer......nice job.

 

I plan to make it...

 

Hi Brian,

We're bringing a Daytona coupe. I think Steve A may have brought this car before when we had it in Atlanta, not sure. Thought of bringing the Boxer to show Frank Parker what a real Boxer (carbed vs. injected wars) is like but the Daytona is clean and Boxer dirty so the choice was easy. Look forward to meeting you and the rest of the crew.

We are going to go to the Rutlands event then check into a hotel close to the Perimiter. What time do people usually arrive? And do they generally have dinner there or just socialize and go out later?

Regards,

Drew Altemara

 

Mr.Altemara,

Can't wait to see the Daytona again. It is a great looking car. See you at Rutland's.
