    These are good suggestions. It's early days in the process -- that's why we are soliciting ideas. I'm sure I'll be catching up with Black355, WHart, and others to coordinate in the coming days/weeks.

    If anybody else has a perspective, or can assist in making this happen, please chime in.

    maybe someone should call FNA and suggest to them that they should celebrate Times Square 100th anniversary with a photoshoot.

    Agreed, that may be an angle. You can get away with a lot with just the name Ferrari, but I doubt, for example, Letterman would get involved unless there were some goofy or offbeat aspect. May seem too pretentious, otherwise.

    Want to go up together? I'm friends with Markus Lex (the owner/organizer) and I'm sure he'll give us full access.

    I am thinking of calling either the Hilton or Marriot hotel in Times Square to ask them if they want in on this. Who has a preferance and/or good contacts with 1 of these hotels ? How about Toys R Us ? They have a shop in Times Square now

    Toys 'R us? How about.......

    A shot of the Hot Wheels Ferrari Authorized cars displayed on the road in front of a flock of the real Ferrari right behind them?

    Let's see. Times Sq 100th anniv., Ferrari, Mattel, Toys R Us. Seems like enough sponsorship to me to make it happen. Let's see....poster rights to that shot. Hmmmmmm. Will make some photographer happy.

    oh, I had another thought.
    We could use the reporter for the Daily News who chewed on us for the ROE to do the write-up. Perhaps Letterman would like to interview them? whaddyathink?

    Let's get this going in the first couple of weeks in October, before CIN. I'm thinking a Sunday early-morning shootout works best. How about October 10?

    Couple of thoughts:

    - I don't have the time, or inclination, to make this a professional / sponsored / media-hyped event. Let's keep it simple, as we always do. Hubi's a phenomenal photographer, and it makes sense to use him and other enthusiasts (if Hubi is so inclined, of course).

    - We'll capture the cars in three phases: (i) night, (ii) crack of dawn, (iii) and early-day. Yes it's early, but think of the bright side: you can come straight from da clubz.

    - Everybody is welcome to attend, but this is going to be a Ferrari-only shoot-out. It's by us. For us.

    - Might make sense to get some shines on Saturday. Eric / I know a terrific place across the pond for the hookup. Maybe we do a fun-run Saturday and then some wash / waxing. Let's coordinate on this.

    Keep the ideas flowing. And let me know who's in.

    Holla.

    Vik I know where there are going to be a good 1/2 a dozen Fcars in Manhattan THIS Sunday morning. Let's see Pchops at 1AM, race over by 3AM, breakfast, into the city by 5AM for photos? I think sunrise is at 6:31 Sunday.
    Don't forget after the clocks change again sunrise is going to be even earlier.
