    Alright guys, know you've seen a million but had to post a few anyway. She's a bit dusty from the last couple days of driving but finally got a chance to take some shots with a bit of sun! I will be swinging by Ferrari on my way home from Salish this weekend to try to meet up with some of you for a formal intro so at least you now know how to pick me out of the crowd.....guess I may just have to sit in the car!!!! :) Im sure I'll recognize a few of your cars but the names....may take a while! So please come and introduce yourself! Anyway, hope you all enjoy as much as I do!!!! Hope to see you this weekend!

    That makes 3 black 355 Spiders in the immediate area, including Dave T's and Ted W's.

    Try and show up before noon if you can. That's about the time things broke up last year for the drive to lunch.

    Nice car Chris.

    Congrats. The 355 has always been one of my favorites. One of these days, I'll have to find one.

    Thanks Guys...I'm going to try but it may be a bit later than that. Were doing brunch around 11:00....will everyone be hanging out at the park for a while then heading back to 12th or does everyone break from there?

    If the weather is nice there is a distinct possibility of an improptu drive after lunch. I'm game!

    Maybe one of the 'locals' can pick a good route. Willis knows a few.

    Chris,

    Everyone break from the park charity event and go their separate ways whenever they like.

    The main event at the dealership officially starts at 10am. Cars usually start lining up before that. Last year, we earlybirds got a nice treat when Greg W brought his 250LM and 250GTO and blasting up and down the street before settling in. Man, the sound was incredible!

    You could drop by early at the dealer to watch the cars come in, then go to your brunch. Doesn't take long to go from Seattle to Snoqualmie Falls on Sunday morning, especially in a Ferrari. :)

    There are fun twisty roads near the park. Hang out at the park and we could decide where to go from there.

    Massage appointments at 10am....Brunch at 11:15.....Never fails does it!!!! Wife's 2nd birthday gift, first was a trip to Napa this last weekend but I managed to drag her out to the vintage races at the track so I kinda owe her!!!! Talk about cool cars...Ferrari definitely had their presence! Of course I left my camera in the hotel room :(

    I will see what I can do though, should be able to get to the park though by about 12:30-1pm.

    Chris,
    She looks beautiful. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it and meeting all of you guys on Sunday. Still Ferrari-less for now, as I'm still lookin out for that TR or 355 (thanks for the help over the phone, Dave), but I hope you won't hold that against me!

    Chris,

    Very NICE spider!!! 355s are one of my favorites. I just love the sweet sounds that they make (especially with a Tubi).

    Looking forward to seeing you and your car sometime soon.

    Congrats, Chris - Black is beautiful (of course, I'm a little biased!). The car looks b-e-a-utiful.

    I'll be there Sunday with my wife and car, and plan to attend lunch as well. I'm a little new to this board so I'll be struggling with the names, too.

    Somebody mentioned getting there a little early - what's a good time? Around 9:00? I look forward to (the drive to) lunch, too. I don't know any other F-car owners (I'm sort of isolated out in Duvall), so it'll be a real treat.

    Dave

    Dave,

    Between 9 and 9:30 should be the best time.

    The group drive from Seattle to the park should be fun. In past years, you should see people's reactions when they see a sea of roaring Ferraris rolling down the streets and on the freeway. :)

    The earlier the better for the better parking spot.

    What's the forecast look like??

    I'm in Arlington (great roads!) and I am safe in saying I'm the only one with an Fcar out here.

    See you Sunday.

    Thanks John! Definitely loving it! Wife doesn't care much for the attention and doesn't understand the significance of the Tubi....."it's too loud!!! The neighbors all watch when we leave!!!!" :) Ready to get plates that say:

    Shelbee,

    We ARE talking about Seattle, so this forecast should come as no surprise:

    Light Rain, High of 64, Low of 51, 60% chance of rain
    (from weather.com)

    It won't stop me from coming though! Hope to see you guys there.
