    Howdy, well my wife and I just signed a contract for a home in Midlothian and plan on moving in 11 April. We're quite excited about this, she's from Texas but I'm a Mainer, she's lived up there for 13 years but now it's my time move.

    My 308 is getting a major service as we speak by Dave Feinberg in New Hampshire and should be in great shape for the next few years of all year driving, finally :).

    Also looking forward to my first car and coffee as well as meeting some of the guys in the area.

    Hope to see some of you soon.

    Welcome and congrats! Midlothian is great but I would plan on growing a Duck Dynasty beard and wrapping the Ferrari in Camo.
    JK, I grew up very close to Midlothian and would like to move back some day

    Welcome! Midlothian is just down the highway from me. Can't wait to see the 308. Lots of events around here, for both Dallas and Fort Worth.

    Welcome. I grew up in Grand Prairie and we called Midlothian "middleofnothing" which is still kind of true but in a good way! Several friends have chosen to raise their young families there.

    Midlothian is the cement capital of the Southwest, not the middleofnothing (or did I just prove his point?)

    Welcome to Texas! You are in for a bit of a culture shock as my neighbor was born and raised in Maine. He has lived here for 25+ years now and won't go back. We have a very active Ferrari club and encourage you to join in. Shows, spirited drives, dinners and several area Cars and Coffee's. As soon as you get settled, watch for announcements on this site and come on by and introduce yourself. You'll probably be the one with the 308 we don't recognize ;)

    Thank you all for the warm welcome, this must be the Texas hospitality my wife has been telling me all about.

    I look forward to meeting all you guys, again, thanks and hope to see you soon :).

    Welcome Home! Glad you are here with us.

    If the rigors of unpacking become too much on Saturday, come join us at the Boardwalk Concorso and/or the Heights Car Show. Look for postings on these elsewhere in the Texas section.

    Hope to see you at other events coming up, and in the mean time be sure to take a break with the 308 frequently.

    Welcome to Texas! My wife and I moved to the Dallas area from Connecticut 13 years ago. It is quite different than the North East, but if you like the heat, you'll love it here in August :)

    Welcome to Texas. While I live in Plano I have offices in DeSoto and Waxahachie (both near Midlothian). You will love the friendly folks out there.
    I absolutely love the License Plate…Do you own a Detroit Tigers Hat?

    Welcome to Texas! Great car collection, those all yours? Several events coming up if you want to take a break from unpacking. FCA monthly breakfast next Saturday (4/19). This is a great way to meet a bunch of local owners and the F1 watching party the following day. Hope you can make it to one of these events. We want to see your car ... I mean meet you. ;)
