    Looks like Mother Nature is smiling down on us. It should be 62 and partly sunny by noon. We will be there by 11:00 camera in hand. Thanks Laura for another great effort.

    Great show, the setting could hardly have been better and there were some incredible cars that showed up (F40, 250 Lusso, etc).

    What a GREAT turnout of people and cars!! Every year this event gets better and better. We had a record turnout. As mentioned previously, we had Modern, Classic, Vintage and even a Supercar show up at our event.

    It was great seeing old friends and meeting some new people (some who I hope will stop lurking and come out to more events) :) A special thanks to Laura Ebert for putting on a fantastic event and to Bobbie O. and Sabahat S. (I may be missing one) for signing people in to the event.

    And lastly a special thanks to my friend Rich T. for bringing out his 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso and Mr. Tom Wall for allowing me to ride with him in his 1958 Ferrari 250 Testarossa replica to the event.

    Enjoy the pics!!!

    Hi all,
    Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for allowing me to pull my brand new yellow Viper ACR up into the corral with all the Ferraris. We had a great time looking at all the cars and talking to some really nice folks. Y'all have some amazing cars!

    One thing I must say is that it was appalling to me to see the poor 'car manners' of some of the onlookers. At one point, I saw a teenager do his best "gangsta pose" with his hip/butt leaned fully against a 360. I politely reminded him that these were privately owned cars and the owner of that particular car wouldn't appreciate any scratches he may be putting in it with the rivets/buttons on his pants. He just looked at me like I had two heads and walked off.

    Some people's kids.

    Anyway, a few pictures:

    It was another great time this year. Many thanks to Laura and others in hosting it.

    Once again, it was the same week-end that the high school students were having their meeting at the Hyatt Hotel next door. So lots of young folks taking turns posing with the cars.
    If I was near my car, I went ahead and let them sit in it while their friends took pictures with their cell phones.

    There were some rare cars there: that yellow 365BB is one of 300 or so survivors, the silver GTC/4 one of 400 survivors (if Tom Welsh brought his there were two on the field), the red Series II 330GT one of about 250-300 survivors (there were two present), there are not a lot of Lussos left either but I don't know the numbers. Well done FCA!

    No matter how many times I see a Ferrari, I never get tired of them. The organizers put together a great event and I had a great time. I took a picture of every car there and I think I counted 76 Ferraris. I will try to have my pictures up in the next few days...I went to three different car meets yesterday haha.

    Special thanks to Laura for this 4th Edition of the FCA-MAR Reston Town Center "Spring Thaw!" Fantastic effort in putting it all together. Also thanks to those who pitched in at the registration desk--Pam, Bobbie, Sabahat; to Andrew at the "Entrance Gate" and a few others who jumped in to help with parking; to Tom and Sylvia for helping me set-up and take-down all the support equipment; to all who are posting great photos, especially BillP00 who, I think, will soon be famous for the May cover of the FCA NEWSbulletin (we'll know within the next 2 weeks,won't we?). However, none of this would be possible without participants--all the beautiful cars and people who took the time to enjoy and share this FCA-MAR experience with each other and our many guests. What a great day it was. Thanks for coming. That's 4 events down and ONLY 16 more to go! Enjoy!

    Bill

    By the way, whoever had the 348 there early on, I dropped a 348 shirt in your car. Who are you?

    Thanks,

    Fixed, couldn't figure out the first one because the real TRs had glass over the lights and silver inside.

    Sad I missed this again.

    I just noticed the 250 Testarossa sitting next to that GTO recreation. Talk about rare, there were only 35 TRs made in all varients. What a great addition to the Mid Atlantic Ferrari Club, what is its serial number?

    At $12M a piece, I believe the owner would not have left the key in the ignition of a real 250 TR ... :D

    Thanks, I was hoping not. There are some really important cars in this area (the first built GTO as but one example) so one can always hope. What model Ferrari chassis was this one built on? Or what engine is in it?
