    I cannot belive that no one has put this up yet..an event that is fast approaching and right in our back yards!

    Euro Auto Festival

    Ferrari is the Marque and over 40 Ferraris are lined up as we speak. We expect more, but please if you are interested make sure you sign up now, not latter. They will not be taking registrations this year upon arrival. You must register on line in advance. Over 400 cars will be present including the Ferraris.

    Below is an email we sent to FCA members (join the FCA by going here FCA South Carolina Chapter and you do not have to own a Ferrari to be a member).

    Greetings FCA Members and Friends,

    For the first time in Euro Auto Festival's eighteen year history, Ferrari is the featured marque. This event is held at the BMW Zentrum and USA plant https://www.bmwusfactory.com/zentrum/, located right off I-85 at exit 60 in Greer, SC. Over 400 European cars have been in attendance each year and has been featured on various programs such as My Classic Car.

    Season 17 (2013) Episode 17 | My Classic Car with Dennis Gage

    Our host city is Greenville, SC and presents not only some noteworthy restaurants and entertainment, but a good staging point for some of the best driving in the area. Greenville has been recognized nationally as a top ten city in numerous categories from retirement, growth, restaurants; and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) Magazine has ranked Greenville, SC as the North American Microcity of the Future.

    The Westin Poinsett Greenville SC Hotels | The Westin Poinsett, Greenville | Reservations at Westin.com, the city's only four-diamond hotel is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Greenville. We only have a limited number of rooms blocked for FCA members and so I strongly encourage you to register now by using the link below.

    Westin Poinsett Greenville SC Hotels | The Westin Poinsett, Greenville | Reservations at Westin.com

    Always a great event. Just too bad it's the same weekend as Petit Le Mans this year.

    Outstanding! Are many coming from Charllotte? I know in the past many have waited to the last miniute or submitted applications upon arrival but this year I don't think this will fly. Try to encourage CAFE members to register now.

    Let me know if you are in town Friday, come join us for dinner if you can.

    Major conflict with the Petit Lemans. I don't understand how the organizers missed that one. Somebody should mention to them only 100,000 car guys will attend the race week-end.

    What's been happening -what you driving now? Pretty much is the same every year and the company that hosts the event sets the date based on work load at the factory. We will loose some to Petit. You going? Love Petit! But gotta do Euro!!!

    Got Florida State in town that same weekend...but gotta do Euro!!!

    I'm going, but the room rates at both the Poinsett and the Embassy Suites are too much for me. Any suggestion for a hotel in the area with rooms for $129 or (preferably) less?

    Euro is only 4 weeks away!

    There are only 62 slots left so if you want to register a car, you better get going!

    With Ferrari being the featured marque, this will be the best EAF ever!

    I saw the super secret list tonight and can't be specific but the number of pre-1980 cars is somewhere in the barely double digits.

    So far, 47 Ferraris registered in total.

    That means there will be a 330 GTC there! Have you seen the value on these lately? I've been telling Bob to trade it for a lake house in the Reserve on Keowee..but to no avail lol.
