    A coworker approached me before Christmas about a friend of his that was trying to get a present for her husband. It turns out the hubby is a car guy, and loves Ferraris. For his Christmas present, he wanted to go for a ride. Like a Ferrari Santa, I agreed. I've tentatively scheduled Jan 15 for to take this guy for a spin, but it occurred to me that it might be fun if we could get a few cars together. It will give us an excuse to go for a drive, and make him happy to get see a lot of Ferraris together. He lives in Lewisville so I figure we'll start up North somewhere. Anybody want to join me?

    By the way, he works at Chick Fil A and has offered free sandwich coupons! :)

    I can do whenever works for the most people. My preference would be in the morning, but I'm flexible.

    It would be neat to show him that Ferrari does make a 4 seater and the bennies of those extra seats, however, we'll be in Birmingham UK for the Autosport International Racing Car Show that weekend.

    I'm up to 4 cars so far. A coworker might tag along in his Z06 or E55. At this point I'm thinking of a North Plano starting place, probably around 8:30. We'll do some highway miles due to the request of a driver that has special needs :) , followed by whatever else I can find.

    Anyone else want to play? I intend to be home by 11ish.

    It's looking like a 9am start at the Starbucks at Parker and the Tollway in Plano. SE Corner. I haven't figured out a route yet, will require a map I guess. As you can see, I'm putting a LOT of thought into this. More details to follow.

    Starbucks
    5960 West Parker Road
    Plano TX, 75093

    I'm working on the route still, doesn't look like it will be very complicated. I expect we'll all be home by 11:00 or so.

    9:00am start at Starbucks, Parker and the Tollway.
