    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone here is going to be attending the event on 13 December. Our rep told us that he will be there as well as the Relay Baton, although I'm not sure if he'll be bringing it or Ferrari will be bringing it. I have to work there, and it would be nice to have some people there who don't just see me as the person to pick up their trash after they've eaten. We have pretty things too :p

    If anyone is going, please let me know!

    Leigh *^_^*

    Yes, he and the Relay Baton will be here 13 December from 6-8pm. My manager just told me that we will also have extra police officers on staff for the event since members of Ferrari will also be attending. So your cars will be safe!

    If any of you have questions, you can ask me here, or our store number is 713-668-5000. My name is Leigh (lee). I'm the appraiser here, but on these nights I'm mainly the trash girl :p

    Hopefully, it'll be a good turn out. When he was here last year, it was a lot more fun than the usual "parties" here. I hope you all can attend *^_^*

    Thanks for the invitation. I'm not in the Club anymore, after my third Ferrari I had to spend the money on tune ups....

    I'll help you clean up....;)

    I think I'll bring the red one....it says Saint Arnold's on the doors, you know, the beer company?
    They sponsored my last race entry...........

    That sounds nice, and very sweet of you *^_^*.
    I found this group when my friend Randy told me I should join it--he's been a member on here for a couple of years. He was trying to prove to me how there really are good guys who live in Texas and not only the slimy ones I seem to attract :p
    Everyone seems nice so far.

    Sounds good Jeremey, a couple of good places along Ella Blvd, south of North Loop.
    Turn South at Ella where Memorial Hermann Hospital has the Life Flight pad.......

    Two mexican restuarants for margaritas, or Cavatori's if you want Italian beer, like Moretti........Rainbow Lodge has moved to right on the corner there, as well.....

    Yup. I've known her for a few years.

    You should probably get roro and his new Gallardo out there too.

    Yes, it is the one at 3841 Bellaire Blvd. Daniel is still at the Sugar Land store, but he comes in here a few times per week. Also, both he and Brad will be at the event.
    Anyone you all know, tell them to come on out. It should be a lot of fun...hopefully :p

    Maybe it's just Life Flight coming into Memorial Hermann....the flight paths overlap...do choppers even HAVE a flight path???? LOL!

    HPD just comes down the Tracks at Val's place at tree top height, when they are chasing a perp.........

    Glad to know that Life Flight is still around. Every few years they ask for donations and more donations to keep the program running. I still have a T-shirt that says, "I flew on Hermann Life Flight". =)

    Hey Randy!

    Are you going to attend? You should try to come. Relay Baton. Up close. I'm going to try to get my pic taken with me holding it. I figure if they let me put on their $825k necklace, they'll let me hold it for 45 seconds...I can hope :p
    The Rolex show is next Saturday. Not looking forward to that one, the rep is so cocky and wears way too much cologne. I'm curious as to what watches will be there, though. Rolex never does trunk shows, so it should be interesting.
    Just remember, Relay Baton and whatever else this mystery item is supposed to be that Ferrari is bringing. They're being really vague about it. For all I know, it's a jacket or t-short or something along those lines.

    Careful now, Leigh...there's a pretty heavy overlap between Rolex and Ferrari owners....he might run across your comment!

    *note to self, light cologne around Leigh, LOL!*

    I may go. My birthday is the day before so maybe I.W. Marks will give me a present!

    Is there a link or annoucement of this event? I don't know what this is for. For all I know, I'm just going to I.W. Marks and hang out at the parking lot. Please fill us in. Relay Baton?? what exactly is that for? Baton for the Olympics? I don't know....

    Roro,

    It's the Ferrari Relay 60 years baton that went around the world, the designer is the jeweler they are honoring.

    FCA is most likely invited and now WE are.......that's all we need to know. Well, at least for now.....LOL!
