    As most of you know Mr. Tom Tjaarda is scheduled to be the honored guest at ItalianCarFest this September.

    Which brings to mind: Who would be a great honored guest in Sept. '07? With long lead times, it isn't too early to begin thinking about this.

    Please send your suggestions to [email protected]. And if you have contact information for the person you suggest, please include that.

    Thanks, again for your great support.

    Valentino Balboni, it's worth a shot.

    I thought it was an Italian car show?

    As Jeremy Clarkson would say, "ze Germans" are running the show.

    If you invited a Ferrari designer, it's likely he'd be Japanese.




    Horacio Pagani?

    Yes, hence my statement

    Truly unfortunate, as proven by the 430, Enzo, and 599


    Now that's a good idea!

    Yes, the designer is now the scion of Pininfarina. Ferrari has reached the nexus of luxury and acurately reflects its desired GT image. Are Ferraris new designs timeless, reaching out to infiniti?

    They'd save on the flight and hotel, but that probably wouldn't cover the bar tab and bail!

    :D ;)

    I second that motion. Although he's Argentinian....great person, makes fantastic cars. Maybe he can bring one with him like he did when he visited that university in Georgia (was it Georgia Tech?).

    I would see if Leonardo Fiorivanti was available. He's doing his own stuff now and may like the venue. In his days at Pininfarina he penned some heady stuff... would be interesting to hear his comments on Pininfarina's current direction.

    Another thought would be Jim Glickenhaus - by 2007 his new Enzo follow on will have debuted and he could talk about it's gestation and working with Pininfarina - perhaps even BRING the car. THAT would be a draw like no other as at that time that car will still be the 'hot thing' after it's debut.

    Christian von Koenigsegg. Not italian, but I don't think anyone would care.

    Scumacher? German but works for the Italians. The Italian cars owners would love to meet him...
