Spirited Spring Drives in Michigan

BTW, it's my understanding that both the Concorso Italiano & the Italian Happening [static show] have joined the dinosaurs. The Italian Happening Waterford driving event, put on by the Alfa club, Sat of labor day weekend appears to be taking place. We really need to get the east side of MI Ferraris together once in a while and get to know each other. We're working on the May 6 date for the SE side of the state and joining Jerry on the west side the following weekend. There has also been mention of a fall tour, last time we did it in TC in 1994 and had over 40 Ferraris. For info, call Dave @ 313 304 1009.

 

I would love to join in on the east side drive. I'd be coming up from the Toledo area....

 

If there is a plan to do a drive that doesn't involve a stop and go bumper-to-bumper route (like GP to Woodward Ave via 696), I will definitely attend. But in GP and SCS the speed limit never really gets above 35; and 696 is gridlocked all the time. There are some really great roads just OUTSIDE the metro area.

 

you cant forget that a large portion of the roads in SE michigan are cracked up, and in need of repavement.... but the winding country roads are far from it

to me, the ideal drive would either be up toward port huron, or from Ann Arbor north through back-country roads... albeit, it would be nice to hit a something like Waterford hills, its just not a nice drive...

oh, and traffic wouldn't be gridlocked on a saturday; unless 2 lanes of traffic were blocked. (as ive driven the GP-->brighton rought soooo many times...

 

I think this is a great idea! I will definitely be there for that! Sounds like a good plan to me.

 

Any news?

 

I guess I didn't realize the plans got changed. I don't have much interest in getting a sales pitch.

 

That does sound like fun. But it's one of those things where if you don't have something good to say about someone you shouldn't say anything. I'll probably be there.

 

Jerry,

I'm in! That sounds like a nice chance to meet a few fellow F-chat people, the staff at Cauley, and have some fun.

I agree, thumbs up to Dave Wexall and to Cauley for arranging this. As any biz owner knows and appreciates.... time is money... and the cars on the hoist?? While some may not appreciate it, that is a very generous offering, and I am pretty impressed that they have offered this up.

Cool!

 

is this event welcome to non-owners? i'd love to tag along... but i wouldn't want to crash the party either.

 

Sorry if you misunderstood. It's Cauley I wasn't exactly happy with. Maybe I'll get a chance to straighten it out on May 6.

 

I'll be there as well. Sounds like fun! Is there a time officially set up yet to meet at Cauley Ferrari?

 

Jerry , congratulations on your new role . They found the right guy for the job ! So the Cauley event is May 6 ? I am going to do my best to be there .

 

Continental breakfast starts@ 9.30 am @ Cauley, May 6 for owners of Ferrari's. Tech session begins @ 10 am.

 

Just show up ? Or do i need to pre register ? Thanks.

 

a big thankyou, Jerry

 

Nuts! I'd like to join the May 6 outing, but will be at an annual event down in Bowling Green, KY with a large group of Corvette enthusiasts (Grand Sport & ZR-1 Owner's Gathering).

I'll look for you on the 13th in West Michigan -- I'll be in Holland for a wedding, sans Maserati, unfortunately.

You folks have a great time!

Brad
