    I would if it would fit. This one is close to 10 feet tall and i gave an 8' ceiling.

    I recently bought a quick jack lift and I may be picking up a scissor lift next week.

    If someone has room for the BendPac, let me know.

    PS - Spring Stooge is a South Bay event.

    Fatness, can you come over to Pete's place and check on him? I think he is suffering from last year fire in the area where he inhaled too much smoke and the CO is affecting his ability to spell. he just bought 3 lifts for a 2-car garage I am afraid something else may be wrong with him. Check him out before he goes out and buys a Porsche or ... Corvette.

    Pete, hang on. Help is coming.

    The Stooge events have not only been helpful mechanically to those of us who have Ferraris , but have also offered us an opportunity to meet and socialize with others who love these cars. It seems like the same guys have been offering their homes over and over again and maybe they feel its time for someone else to pick up the colors and offer their home. I don’t know much about Ferrari maintenance but I do enjoy coming to the Stooge events and would hate for the events to stop. If the group wants I would be willing to offer my home for the next event. Don’t have a lot of room on the street but hopefully we can get all the cars parked on the block. I live in the Encino area and the street is easily accessed from north south east or west.

    There doesnt appear to be a lot of interest from the members of the group in having a Stooge event at my house but May 4th will work for me.

    Mel, great of you to offer. Traditionally the Spring event has been in the South Bay and for the past several years I've had the Fall event in Sherman Oaks. Just my opinion but i was hoping there would be an event to the South this Spring.

    It was never my intention to intrude on the fall stooge event at your house. I think it would be great if someone in the south bay would do it as we have done in the past.. No one offered so I just offered to have a Spring event so that the tradition of having them would continue. If Anyone in the south bay will do one this spring than I can withdraw my offer and we can have it in the south bay as always.

    Mel, no offsense taken. Rotating the location around is a good idea an lessens the burden on the hosts. I had another concern. PM sent to discuss.
