    Anyone within a reasonable distance from the old OBI on the Ocean Parkway out by Jones beach should definitely consider showing up on Sunday mornings at around 9am. There are hundreds of cars there every week and last week, there was a big Ferrari turnout with about 25 Ferrari's. 2 Stradale's, an F40, an F50 and 2 weeks ago, 2 Enzo's in Yellow AND Red. It's definitely a good time. Lot's of bikes, lot's of Hot Rods, Bentley convertibles, Lambo's, Viper's. Best of all, NO COPS BUSTING BALLS! Pretty much anything and everything. I highly recommend it. See you there.

    I went about a month ago at 9AM, parking lot was jammed, BUT other than one 328 I was the only Fcar there. I find it very hard to believe that any turnout with "25 Ferrari's. 2 Stradale's, an F40, an F50" wouldn't be heard about here. I would love to see a photo of those cars there, I found it to be 100's of motorcycle, hotrods, some kit cars, Corvettes, and Vipers, some other very nice cars but....25 Ferraris??? I SINCERLY doubt it.....sorry to doubt you Poleposition, please fill out your profile and welcome here anyway.

    The Tobay/Ocean Parkway meets happen every Sunday morning. The cops don't bust balls but they will give you speeding tickets if they clock you on the open highway. Ask Rob :D

    It definitely is a classy turnout and best of all... You can actually see the cars because it's daylight :)

    If you guys wanna do top speed runs this is probably the safest/smartest (compared to everything else around) place to do it. Not that such a thing is safe or smart by any means :p

    i don't mean to be rude but two Enzo's at OBI in Jones beach is a bit off the scale!! There were only three our four Enzo's sold in the New York tri state area thru FLI and believe me when i tell you that these guys would not be in OBI at 9:00Am on a sunday morning.

    I have to get back into the routine of going there on Sundays. We had a pretty regular thing going for a while. Especially after Labor Day when we would go to Captree Beach Boat Basin. Infact Jim S. (yellow 308) left a voice mail for me to go this past sunday, but I didn't get it until it was too late. Sure would have liked to have seen that F50 and F40...

    I was there last Sunday. Got there about 10:00am. They must have already left, only saw 1 TR and a 365 GTC. which did a drive through and left.

    i dont doubt it, there is a lot of $ out there. Any agressive driving this time of year is not a smart idea though. I will wait till late fall/winter to go back out. To much liability if you hit a stray beachgoer

    Rob I have been living here my whole life the only time I know of that parking lot ever saw that many F cars is when we were there on the winery run. DWHITE got there at 10AM and the only F car didn't even stop, did a drive through, did all the 25 F car owners have to leave at 9:45? Sorry again PoleP, but OBI is in my backyard so to speak, and I hate to read about too much misinformation here.

    I have passed this scene by before. It is 280zs, 300zs, vettes, kit cars, camaros, bikes, and pimped-out japanese cars. Loud music and not exactly a gorgeous crowd.

    Been there on several occassions. It is A LOT of fun but the cops are a nightmare. You have to be VERY careful. Last time I went was about 3 months ago and I did not see any Ferrari's. Acutally all the times I was there, I only recall a friend bringing his F355 GTS. We can change this. In my opinion it is too early and it is just like a car show. The drive can not be fast (just how I like it), and once you get there you just look at cars. It is something to do though.
