    Anyone going to either of them? Looks like they are both going to be a good time. The line up of cars for the Porsche Parade Historical Display is impressive (http://www.pca.org/parade/2005/Display.htm) and the cars that show up at Le Belle Macchine d'Italia are always impressive.

    I'm going to a private party monday night where Alois Ruf will be showing
    off his "yellowbird", which of course will be in the Porsche parade. I think
    I'll be running to the Pocono's on saturday. I believe chuck348 is going
    to the Pocono's as well. How about you?

    Yeah I'm going to try and head over to the Pocono's early Saturday with my Dad and then get back early enough to go browse the swap meet. Will also be going to the display on Sunday. Busy weekend for car shows...plus in a totally diffrent catagory there is GM Nationals over at Carlisle. :)

    tclark: That's pretty cool to acutally meet Mr. Ruf. I still like watching the video of the Yellowbird going around the Nurenburg Ring.

    Hey Erik,
    I'm planning on arriving at Skytop somewhere around 9:30 or 10:00AM on Saturday. I'm not showing my car because I never registered. Hope to
    see you there. I'll be there with my wife. If you want to meet at a specific
    time and place, I'll be there. Sorry I don't have an F-chat Tee shirt to wear!!!

    I think I may take a ride up for the concours. Looks like its early in the day though and that I would want to be up there by 10-10:30. Have to see if I can convince the GF to get up that early.

    If any of you guys get there, can you grab me a program from "Le Belle"

    My car is featured in a full page ad for Coker, and I'd like to get a copy.

    Happy to reimburse any and all expenses.

    Let me know if it's possible,

    Dave

    Hey I posted the pictures I took of these two events. Check out
    http://sublevo.com/erik/gallery/porsche_parade for the Porsche Parade pictures
    and http://sublevo.com/erik/gallery/italian05 for the Ferrari and other Italian pictures. Sadly I thought my dad got most of the field but he didn't since a lot of the cars were there last year.

    Special thanks to tclark for giving me a ride up to the Pocanos in his 348 TS. It was my first Ferrari ride and one I'm not going to forget, even though the "Slow Down" light came on a few times on the trip up. :)

    Parade was such an awsome event. I'd post my pictures, but they are pretty much the same.
