    To all my ROAR friends in NC and Daniel at Ricambi, my family and I have finally decided to leave Southern California and head to the Charlotte area. I am leaving Friday to go and look at houses and will be looking in the Huntersville, Davidson and Mooresville areas. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Add one more Ferrari to the Charlotte area... ;)

    Hi Joe,
    We live in Huntersville in a subdivision called Wynfield. We're right off exit 23 on 77. I also have a 348 TS. PM me and I'll give you all the details.

    Hi Doug,
    I am looking at a property in Wynfield on Bishopstone and several in the Northstone and Birkdale communities. I also am looking in Davidson at River Run. I am looking forward to making new friends. I am staying at the Courtyard at exit 25 and you can probably catch me at the Starbucks. I'll be in town through Monday. Thanks for the response!

    I'm sure that things have changed. But back in the days of my misspent youth, the hottest thing around in Charlotte on Saturday night used to be the Blue Light special at K Mart.

    That's great. We live on Taunton Drive, the first stop sign you come to when entering Wynfield. When you come up to the stop sign, take a left and we're the 6th house on the left at the corner. A 4 column white colonial. If you have time you're more than welcome to stop by. I have my office at the house and am here just about all the time. Would love to put a face with a name.

    I can also introduce you to a realtor who is a friend and fellow Ferrari owner Brian Caughman. He has a 1998 355B and lives just down the street. He specializes in property around the lake and would be a great asset for you.

    Are you in town yet?

    Doug,
    Thanks for the realtor recommendation but I am working with one already. I arrive tomorrow night around 7:00 and will be home shopping Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I just might stop by on Saturday as I will be pre-screening houses for my appointment on Sunday with my realtor. I would love to ask some questions on schools, property taxes and associations.

    JoTec: Looks like you'r getting good advice and being shown the right choices. We live in Birkdale now, and are building in the Penissula. The pedestrian experience in the Birkdale area is addictive. we're going to miss it when we move in a couple of months. All are good choices. Plans are still afloat for he weekend, but give me a call if you'r around. Bob 703 216-9530

    I PM'd with JoTeC, and he already has a Realtor, but I wanted to give a shameless plug here. I work exclusively with Buyers, and I specialize in the Lake Norman area (Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Sherrills Ford, Denver, etc.) Gimme a shout if anyone ever need a good Buyers Agent in these areas. I work with Prudential Carolinas Realty... and I give F-chatters their home tours in a 355!!!!!!!!! ;-)

    MEE TOO! I am actually moving to the area on sunday myself! If anyone sees a blue land rover discovery towing a red mondial on a car trailer that would be me. I am dropping my car off at a friends in Cornelius. Will probably end up living in the Boone area though. My wife and I are soooo ready to get out of Florida! I may have to take Bella out for a spin on Sunday eve so she can get a breath of fresh NC air! Anyone?

    PS: Brian, Know anyone who wants to buy a beautiful Pool home in Orlando? :)

    We are getting quite a few Floridians calling about the Lake Norman area right now. I guess when hurricane season hits, people start thinking about getting away from there! I had some clients out today where are moving from Boca. I may be around on Sunday if you take your car out for a spin. I live very close to Cornelius. My 355 needs to have her legs stretched a little as well.

    Don't forget the Lake Wylie area of NC and SC, if your business will require you to spend much time in uptown Charlotte. It's a very easy reverse commute from South Carolina into Charlotte - you get in quickly, and see all the traffic stopped coming down from the North. Plus, SC has no auto inspections (can you say aftermarket exhausts?) and sales tax on vehicles is capped at $300. It a car collector's paradise.

    Dr. S - saw your invite on CAFE. Unfortunately, will not be able to make it, but it looks like a great time!

    Thanks Jeff,
    Fortunately my business is motorsports. I think Concord is as far I will have to commute... ;)
    Dr. S., What city are you in? I love the infinity pool...
