    Went on a great Ferrari club drive co-ordinated by Grady Owens. A couple of other Fchatters were there - 512Blue, PCox, F512M, Dr. Who, me. This time we went to some roads that I never been on before - very fast and smooth with awesome corners that never seemed to end. It was a great day for a drive with moderate temps and clear blue sky. Most of the shots were taken by my brother while we were driving at pretty naughty speeds - so the pictures are not as sharp as I would have liked. :)

    We had 2 348s, 355, 360, TRs, M5s, 911C4S, Maserati coupe, and a 430 Spider

    He said he met ya'll in his Zo6, but didn't make the drive!
