    Henry - you can put down "Nizam - party of two" in your list. My wife and I will be there. We're F-car newbies; we have just begun our search for a F355. We'd love to meet up with the local Ferrari crowd.

    Of course I'll be there. I should have an open seat in the Testarossa if someone wants to tag along like last time. Henry is your wife coming with... if so I'll bring my significant other along. Let me know because Jan says she doesn't want to hang out with just a bunch of guys ha ha.

    Im in, just 1. Speaking of empty seats, if there is one open, I would like the priviledge of tagging along, I have video and SLR camera's to document everything. Its tough to shoot and drive. ;)

    Hey Henry did you hear that! Looks like we have a new best friend! haha. Yes Gabe you can definitly tag along. Nothing like having a camera man in the the group. I can't tell you how many times I dropped mine while trying to snap shots and drive at the same time. Henry just lost his Ferrari hat while trying to shoot pictures out of the top of his Dino two weeks ago lol. Looking forward to some cool pics for Ferrari Chat.

    Your Bud,

    I called the contact listed in the FCA Pacific newsletter to RSVP for my car to be displayed at the Santana Row event, but I have not heard about brunch. It sounds like a good idea. Put me down for 2 adults and 2 kids, but we will probably bring food for the kids.
    BTW, the web site for the restaurant does not specify the location, but I assuming it is on Santana Row, withing walking distance of where the cars are located.

    thx

    To Luke, the Sunday Brunch is organized by us, a group of guys from Stockton get together monthly for brunch and drive- everyone is welcome!!.Check www.santanarow.com for location of Sraight Cafe. I'll put you down 4 seats but only 2 for lunch. My family will come also. Glad that you can join us. We'll see you there on the 1st. Henry

    Hi Henry,
    It was great speaking with you earlier this week. Thanks for calling me back.
    My wife and I would love to attend. Even though we're located in San Jose, we could meet up with you all in San Ramon, just for the privilege of seeing all the Ferraris on the freeway. If you want to head out a little earlier, we could even meet before the 10am designated time (say around 9:15) so that I can show you our foundation and framing. We started the second story this week.
    By the way, I was in Ruby Hill yesterday, and I figured out which lot is yours. You can't miss it, with the two other homes being constructed on either side of your lot. I'm very excited for you.

    Since I don't own a Ferrari, I will assume I need to park my NSX elsewhere. Please let me know if this is not the case.

    You can call me anytime.

    Take Care

    Henry, I'll definitely be there on the 1st with my Dino. Do we need to confirm with somebody keeping a car count?

    I don't know about lunch plans yet. I suspect if we need to take off during the day, we can easily ingress/egress.

    Thanks for setting this up, sounds like a great idea.

    Melodie and I will be in to meet at Stockton if we can find a sitter for the ten year-old that day. Sounds like fun!

    Do you guys use two-way radios on these runs? Is the route known?

    To 360Grigiotitanio, no, we use cell phone. This drive to Santano Row is mostly freeway driving, pretty straigh-forward. From Stockton group, we take 5-S, 205-W, 580-W, 680-N to San Ramon, join with Brian's group @ his shop off Crow Cyn exit. We then caravan down 680-S, scenic 84-W Sunol grade, Mowry Av, 880-S, exit Steven Creek- go west (rt side), Santana Row is 2 blocks down on left hand side ( Valley Fair mall on right) before Winchester Av. The reason not to drive backroad is time constraint (distant, brunch, shopping, meeting new F-chatters, cars seeing...) Henry. By the way, grigio alloy (is it blue or silver?) is my favorite color for the 360!

    Sorry I haven't posted more information about the Santana Row event, but the shopping center has a new marketing person and we had to start everything from the beginning. I will know more later in the week.

    Most of the stores open at 10:00 am so we want to be there before then. I suggest 9:00 am. The caravan from Stockton I am figuring out how to save you some space. There are a little over 40 slots on the main street, so I may have security keep some side streets closed for us. I have no idea how may cars are coming. Once the street is filled, I do have a secure overflow lot for latecomers, but I'm sure you would rather be on the Row.

    Some stores have expressed an interest in providing coffee and pastries in the morning, but lunch/brunch is up to you. I am planning a noon meeting (at a place TBD) for a volunteer meeting for the FCA Pacific Region Monterey crew. I expect the Rallye, Concours, and Track reps to be there to answer last minute questions.

    There is NO informal concours planned. With the change, I have no time to organize it. Just come and have fun. You can leave anytime your credit card is maxed out or you can't fit anymore loot in the car. :)

    Last year was fun and easy. We plan this year to be the same. Next year may be huge!
