    Sounds like a great Saturday morning - hope the weather cooperates so I can drive my F430 down! Of course, it might be there in the shop already

    This will be our second one so far! Last time, mostly introductory and lots of Q&A from attendees. This time, we will likely do a segment on the various service requirements and nuances that changed over the years of the mid-engine V8 lineup in addition to Q&A.

    We'll also be sending a survey afterward to welcome feedback from attendees on what they'd like to hear about next time!

    Just wanted to bump this to the top! Everyone is invited. If you guys want to see over 40 Ferraris in one place, this is the place. I'd be honored to show you guys around and meet Adam. Hoping for a nice sunny day!! :)

    Before shooting the visiting cars, here are some shots of the place and the resident vehicles. That pickup truck is huge - perfect for putting the deejay and his sound system!

    Notice the nice breakfast setup they had for us; on the other table was coffee, orange juice, water and soda.

    And a couple of 308s in colors not often seen: Prugna, and the "Boxer" color scheme.

    I'm a bit of a sucker for offbeat license plates. Obviously the owner of the Dino snared the coveted plate. "BAGEL 1" on a Rolls-Royce - perhaps owned by Mr. Goldberg, the deli chain owner?

    And Wade beginning his tech talk. He discussed what they do on a first-time major service for any V-8 Ferrari. He used the cars in the shop as a reference: first the tube-frame cars (308 & 328), then the first unibody cars (348 & 355), then the 360 and 430, with reference to the various Mondials where appropriate. He noted that if the first-time major is done correctly, the later such services should be simpler and cost much less.
