Dear Joseph: Thank you for your kind words, it was a fun weekend in Honor of Wayne Obry founder of Motion Products. Each year Wayne would invite his customers and friends to join him for a "Fall Color Tour" of Door County. Upon Wayne's passing the event has been renamed the " Wayne Obry Memorial Fall Color Tour". We were honored to have Wayne's Wife Debbie and his Daughter to join us for the tour. Special guest was Kevin Caufield driving his Pebble Beach Award winning 212 Inter which Motion Products restored. We were also thankful to Russ Turco, ( Ferrari Club Member ) Owner of Stone's Throw Winery for providing a wonderful setting on his lawn and an amazing lunch for our group. If you had the opportunity to talk with any of the other Ferrari Club members, I am certain you found them to also be warm, inviting and passionate. Two unexpected events happened on the lawn at Stone's Throw that day: One of the gals who had her photo taken in our 348 texted the photo to a friend of her's in Green Bay. The return text from her friend to her simply stated: "That is my cousin David!" How small the world is! The other event involved DANNY. About three years earlier while I was at Road America a young boy was trying to catch up to our Ferrari in the Paddock to get a closer look. I found a great parking spot next to a Red Cobra and quickly took a photo. Upon looking up from my phone I saw the young lad running up to our car. We let Danny get into the drivers seat and he really enjoyed the thrill of being in the Ferrari, tooting the horn and turning the steering wheel with a broad smile on his face as though he had just won a race! When I returned home that evening I reviewed the photos I had taken during the day. I was pleasantly surprised that I unknowingly captured Danny in the far right had edge of the photo running up to the Ferrari! While on the lawn at Stones Throw I was tapped on the arm from behind and upon turning around an approximately 10 year old boy said: " Hi, I'm Danny, I drove your car at Road America!" It turned out his family has a home in Door County and as they were driving past Stone's Throw they say the cars on the lawn and decided to stop and take a look. How small the world is! One of the greatest joys I receive from my Ferrari ownership is the happiness it spreads to others. We are so fortunate to be custodians of these special automobiles! Thanks Again! Forza Ferrari
