    If you guys bring your Ferraris, make sure to be there before 5:30 to set up.

    That would make at least 12 Ferraris.

    I believe I have met you before... Your user name leads me to think it could be the one with the Cali plate but I also know of one with a Texas plate. You ever own a blue Aston? ;) I'm always curious about cars that don't attend our events. If you haven't already seen my gallery, you can check out the other Ferraris in Austin at www.TifosiPhoto.com

    I look forward to tomorrow and possibly meeting a few f-chatters. I’ll be the younger guy in a red Ferrari shirt, just stop by and say hi. See you all later.

    Texasmike,

    It probably wasn't me, my F430 is an 07 and I have had it since June! Any special place to park?

    I'm not sure what the president of the club has set up but there might only be enough parking for so many Ferraris. I would say to get there early to make sure you get a good spot. This thread was really for spectators... I didn't think any Ferrari owners that weren't club members would reply. If you are a FCA member then you should have received the official email that you were supposed to RSVP to.

    Best,
    Michael

    Hi Guys -

    Thanks for bringing out such a great display of Ferrari's to the Italian Festival yesterday. My grandparents are from Sora Italy and my new (first) Ferrari is a rosso on nero 07 F430 coupe (sorra rosso). I had a great time talking with the FCA guys and you where all so laid back and cool to answer "newbie" questions....thanks again.

    I picked up my car last Tuesday and this whole week has been a sureal dream for me. Ever since I was 6 years old I have been planning on owning my own Ferrari.....now I do!

    I look forward to meeting all of you at the next event and next time I will bring the car.

    JT

    P.S. - I drove my 6 year old son Tim to breakfast this morning in the F430 and he said....."Daddy.....I love this car....someday I want to own a Ferrari too!"

    How cool is that?

    Great cars everyone! I wish I would have made the event earlier, we were running late and double booked :(

    Thanks for the hospitality TexasMike! I love that motion shot you took of us leaving!! We actually did a full photoshoot on Sunday at laguna gloria of the car. I'll post some photos once they are back from production.
