    Did I mention that Frontenac is putting a St Louis Bread Co in front of Saks.

    Along with Plaza Frontenac is officially for sale

    The show will be on the south side of Plaza Frontenac in front of Neiman Marcus this year.

    Yes, several months ago you had mentioned the St. Louis Bread Company.

    Who is the current owner of Plaza Frontenac? Is it one of the developers in serious financial trouble?

    Got the e-mail your morning about the show location. I have told the organizers that they have another spot to sell.

    Yes, the Ferrari group is all that is of interest. The photos will be used for our chapter's newsletter and then will be submitted to Prancing Horse and the FCA National newsletter. At the national level they seem to prefer shots that show large groups of the cars together.

    It's for sale at 250.00 per ft ... not a bad price for a high end mall.

    Held by a family type REIT - who knows maybe they want a new jet :)

    Sounds like you should do the deal yourself so they can buy a nice big jet for my next project!

    Sorry I'll miss you this weekend. So you edging ever closer to a Scud or 16M?

    I will post pics - I hope it's a good turnout :)

    If the 458 spider debuts in a hardtop I will get very serious about the 16M.

    Jeff be careful and come back in one piece and without any health issues. I was in Lagos and the Niger Delta.. I heard Abuja is a little better.

    Enjoy London. The Ferrari store is not far from Picadilly circus stop if you have time. They do not recognise our american FCA cards for discounts though. There is a Ferrari store in Joburg. SA Airport if you stop thru. They are very nice and good guys there.

    be safe

    Abuja to Enugu yesterday. Staying in The Golden Tulip which was built late last year and is pretty decent. Allegedly Thursday to Yammasoukro, Ivory Coast on Thursday then on to Freetown, Sierra Leone on Friday.

    Abuja is far better than Lagos. It is a new city and has not had sufficient time to become decrepit like Lagos. In Abuja we stay in a private compound that is maybe a mile from the Hilton resort. Good area lots of security.

    When we get to London again will have to check out the Ferrari store.

    Very nice turnout, I would say the Mclaren SLR, and Randy's 599GTO were the highlights!! Weather started out a little bit overcast but then cleared up as the day went on. It rained on us all the way from Decatur (Illinois) until about Collinsville. Ill have the pictures up in a bit. I took plenty of the Ferrari group for you, Jeff. :)

    330 GT. nice car but IMO Jim's 288 GTO is the coolest Fcar in STL.

    good show, nice to see all the old gang. next year plan it for one of the seven nice weather days STL has :p

    I was in attendance but didn't see anyone. I haven't met any of you yet, but I didn't see any of you lurking around your cars, so I'll try to catch up with you at a future C&C. There can only be one Guy Incognito, but I have managed to go undetected since I haven't seen myself in any posted photos so far. :D

    Overall the show was great. Relocating the show to the south lot by Neiman Marcus was a great move as there was much more room to check out the cars. Of course, Ferrari Row was especially impressive, but that goes without saying. Tim, I probably missed it elsewhere in these forums, but I noticed for the first time that the "FAT CAB" license plate is no longer on a "fat cab" but is now on a very nice 993 Turbo instead. (Congrats!) There were so many great German and Italian rides present, and even quite a few British cars as well, but we need a few more Swedes, and most of the Vdubs were hanging out with mine in the spectator lot.

    I'm just glad the show was today instead of yesterday since it was slightly cooler, not that it makes a difference here in St. Louis. :D

    Looks like a fine turn out with more than just the "usual suspects" in attendance.
