    Awesome video Chris. It would have been great to see those cars in action live .

    Are we meeting at Ken's place tomorrow at 6:45 or are we leaving at 6:45? I want to make sure I get there early enough to meet some fellow Fchatters and check out their cars.

    Also, is this only open to Ferrari's? I have a buddy with a Viper that expressed interest in the morning drive down and the show. Obviously he couldn't park with us but I didn't know if we were also trying to keep the caravan purely Italian.

    Thanks

    Eric

    Just to clarify, this is only open to the 5 people who were invited. Thanks. Otherwise, it could easily get too crowded. Be sure to come out to the concours itself.

    I drove up from Florida and, I have to say, it was absolutely worth it! The 250 won best in class - an amazing car with beautiful paint (loved the blue stripe). Ferraris included a 288 GTO, 599 GTO, Dino, 250, California, 599, 458 (loved the bi-color). Probably others I can't remember. Loved the Dusenbergs (sp?). Favorite was a beautiful salmon and yellow colored Cord - absolutely stunning. Great venue for this Concours at St. Johns. Looking forward to many more.

    Today was my first time going to this event... it was really a great day! If it were ten degrees cooler, it would have been perfect! Saw some gorgeous cars, and met some great people. I took a lot of photos and will have them up soon.

    Here are the vintage Indy cars that were on display, driving around the track at MIS. This was a wild event, we got to wander in the pits and the garage area. The cars were LOUD!!!

    I made it back to Chicago without incident in my 328. The preshow tour and drive were fun, we made some great new friends and the new Concours location was better than Meadowbrook. In all, a terrific weekend. Thanks to everyone, especially Isaac and Nat.

    I heard that the Cadillac Cien concept was there, is this true? I saw pictures of it inside somewhere.

    The sad thing is that I went in that building but did not see it, I was to focused on finding the AC vent :)
