1. Spectacular events added for Tutto Italiano Weekend - Saturday Tour, Lunch, Rally & Dinner!

On Saturday, May 22, 2004, before the giant all-Italian marques car show at the Larz Andersen Auto Museum, we've added some fun events to make a weekend of it. Open to all registered Tutto Italiano participants, we will meet around 10:30 a.m Saturday morning at KTR Performance in Ayer, Massachusetts. We will get a private tour of the facility, check out the nifty toys there, watch a demonstration of their new AWD dyno, and enjoy a buffet lunch at noon. We'll depart KTR at 1 p.m. for a fun rally through the quiet hills of central Massachusetts.

That night, we’ll start the evening at Ferrari Maserati of New England at 6 pm, located at 1203 Washington Street in West Newton. After the cocktail reception we'll drive our cars in a police-escorted parade through Boston's Back Bay, then down Newbury Street to dinner at the fabulous restaurant "L" at Louis Boston, the legendary mecca of fashion.

Those joining us for dinner will have complimentary reserved parking on the cobblestone surrounding the building. We'll have time for a brief stroll of the neighborhood before sitting down to chef Pino Maffeo's award-winning, Asian-tinged, offbeat cuisine.

The $85 per person fee includes dinner, tax and gratuities. There will be a cash bar. We are limited to FIFTY people only; this dinner WILL SELL OUT, on a first-come basis. While the cocktail reception at the dealership is open to all registered show participants, the parade and dinner is open ONLY to those lucky fifty. We will confirm your reservation at the dinner by email. THE REGISTRATION FORM IS ATTACHED AS A .PDF FILE.

To register for the tour, lunch and rally, or if you have any questions, please contact Dennis Liu, Massachusetts Chapter President, at [email protected] for more info.

3. New Hampshire Weekend Ramble/Drive/Rally/Lollapalooza, Friday-Sunday, May 14th-16th, 2003

[REMINDER - we already have 20 couples for the weekend, and will be running out of rooms very, very soon. Also, the early-bird registration deadline for the fee discount expires this FRIDAY, so get your checks into Fiona ASAP!!!]

YOU'VE HEARD THE LEGENDS.

YOU'VE READ THE ARTICLES.

YOU'VE SEEN THE PICTURES.

Now here is your chance to live the adventure with the New England Region as we sally forth once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! What will happen this year? Will the police set up THREE road-blocks in a forlorn attempt to delay us? Will we have an unwitting hand in the destruction of yet another historic monument? Will there be ANY Cuban cigars or 30 year-old scotch left in the Granite state? [A full recounting of last year's adventures can be found at the bottom of this email....]

Come join your fellow members of the FCA/NER as we assault the legendary roads and gaps/passes of the White Mountains on our third attempt to get the entire club tossed in jail! Once again, the HQ for our little jaunt is the Mountain View Grand Hotel and Resort, located in bucolic Whitefield, NH.

The Mountain View Grand, newly restored, has been known for its character and intimate comfort since 1865. This is a 400 acre colonial-revival style luxury resort, with fine dining, spectacular mountain vistas, English flower gardens, a spacious verandah, and a doubled-sided fireplace and piano bar. The first tee of the golf course is a pitching wedge from the front steps. It reopened two years ago on the weekend of our visit, and we are now one of their premier groups. Because we've had so much fun there, the Mountain View Grand has offered us a SPECTACULAR DEAL (see below)!

As always, you do not need to drive a Ferrari for this event (we've had Mercedes, BMWs and Hondas), though, of course, it would be way more fun!

OUR MOTTO: NON CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS


Friday, 5/14 -- Optional departure meeting from Ferrari of New England in West Newton, MA. Casual picnic lunch and garage tour at the compound of Sherman Wolf, noted Ferrari collector and enthusiast club member in Amherst, NH. You'll get to see his private collection of unique, rare and historic Ferraris (think Testa Rossa, California Spider, Phil Hill's 212 Barchetta, 340 Mille Miglia and many others) and Packards. From there, we'll drive up to the Mountain View Grand in Whitefield NH (you can meet us directly at the hotel), with reserved parking along the front driveway. We'll arrive at the hotel in time for a twilight round of golf, a horse ride through the countryside, or time to take advantage of the luxurious Tower Spa. We will meet for drinks and then dinner.


Saturday, 5/15 - Breakfast at the hotel, then a drive/rally through the White Mountains. Our ***NEW FOR 2004*** planned routes take us through a bunch of notches/passes. We'll also have some ADDITIONAL NEW surprises. Our lunch is scheduled for the historic MOUNT WASHINGTON HOTEL & RESORT in Bretton Woods. After lunch, for those of you so inclined, the tax-free shopping haven (dozens and dozens of discount & outlet shops) of North Conway is only 25 minutes away. Alternatively, we'll engage in yet another surprise, competitive event.... We will return via another scenic route to the Mountain View Grand in time for an afternoon nap, a round of golf, or other activities (spa appointments, croquet, swimming in the Olympic-sized pool, and much more). The Mountain View Grand is sponsoring a cocktail reception for us, then we'll adjoin for another gourmet meal.

Like last year, as part of the day's challenge, there will be a Poker Run - starting at breakfast, and at each stop throughout the day, each participant will draw a random playing card. At the awards ceremony, the driver and passenger who can make the best poker hand will win prizes. Horse-trading of hands is encouraged! We'll also be awarding door prizes and special trophies for memorable driving that day!

Sunday, 5/16 - After sleeping in, we'll meet for Sunday Brunch. After packing-up and checking-out, we'll have a scenic drive loop that will leave us near the Interstate for the ride home.
