Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 in 08

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

We just got back home, and I have to agree with the other attendees. All the 
friendly faces and beautiful Ferraris were what?we both expected and saw. I was 
particularly taken by the new 430. Too bad more Listers didn't participate, I 
was all ready to arm wrestle cLyDe, and my son, the Little Pickpocket kept 
asking me where Steve was, to thank him for Cheat Codes, and ask some Code 
questions too.

BTW, the Blues Fest (Thurs thru Sat), right across the river in Helena, was a 
blast too. It had the same atmosphere as the Long Beach Grand Prix, except you 
heard great music rather than a swarm of Indy cars screaming by at 150 mph. 
Same? uninhibibited 'party til you drop' crowds, plus same beautiful weather. 
The only difference in food was that instead of a corn dog with mustard?on a 
stick & fries, you got fried gator tail with hot sauce?on a stick & dirty rice.

Note to Jim: After seeing your 308GT4, I'll be spending the next month or so in 
the garage trying to emulate your beautiful example.

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Yes, the cars were cool but the people were the best!  Kathy and I had a great 
time. It was a pleasure putting faces to the names.

The event was fantastic!  Okay, it isn't over, technically, but the meat of the 
weekend is. We had 20+ cars ranging from "really, really nice" to "better than 
factory fresh.". 

I encourage everyone who attended to post your stories and pictures (at full 
resolition). This is not a one-off, as Jim will tell you, but merely the first 
of a new annual legend. 20 years after the first Hallett event, the attitudes 
and friendly banter was identical. 

Tech discussions were animated and very useful. More on that from the other 
attendees. 

And... I now medically need to add a 308GT4 to my scuderia. Damn it Jim, I 
should never have driven your car! 

Best regards,
