    Greetings! I've recently accepted a position that will be moving me down to the Alpharetta area. I've made several trips to the area with my current role and I'm looking forward to the move.

    I'm currently the VP of the Michigan Region for the FOC, and have been very active with ride and drives, tech sessions and more. At this point, because of a really depressed housing market up here in S.E. Michigan, I do not think that my 348 will make the move with me, however, I'm hoping that will be relatively temporary.

    I hope to get the opportunity to meet up with you guys.

    Mike

    Thank you, I don't know if I have much choice when I start work down there!

    I'm sure I'll be involved in one capacity or the other. I know the FCA is pretty active down there. I joined the Michigan chapter of the FCA shortly after I bought my 348. I was sad to see that the club in Michigan wasn't very active. Even if I do become temporarily F-Carless, doesn't mean that I'm not passionate about the cars.

    No kidding! I find it strange that Orchard Lake Road (the road you need to take to go to Cauley Ferrari) is probably the worst road ever!!!

    Thank you! The office I'll be working from is in Alpharetta (North Point Parkway, just south of Windward Pkwy), and we're looking at homes in Cumming.

    My transition date is still being negotiated between my existing management and the new management, I suspect my first day in Alpharetta will be either the first or second week of May.

    Thank you! Don't worry, the weather will be left far behind. We had a particulary tough winter here. Record snow fall. The most common question I keep getting asked over and over again:

    "Can I buy/have your snow blower?"

    Sheesh!

    I just read this post to my wife, she said "Oh brother" LOL

    Welcome to Alpharetta.
    Ferrari of Atlanta is in Alpharetta - on Hwy 9.

    I'm about to move from Alpharetta to Atlanta (Buckhead). My house in Alpharetta will sit empty, just in case you want to rent for some time.
