My Ride to Cavallino
I'm heading south to Palm Beach next week to attend the annual Cavallino
Classic. This year I'm co-piloting a 365GT 2+2 owned by Mark
Dempsey. The plan is to meet Mark in Maryland and drive the rest of the
way to Palm Beach with one stop along the way. We'll be staying with
another Ferrari owner in Florida, and if I have anything to do with it,
it's going to be a packed couple of days with lots of Ferrari things to
do.
Bill Tracy has not only generously offered a place for us to crash in
Florida, but also a place to prepare Mark's car for the show on
Saturday. I'm hoping it doesn't rain (or snow) on the drive down
because a Ferrari engine compartment has a lot a places to trap road
grime, but we'll be proud that we actually drove the car down. A recent
article in FML talked about how
"you know if you're a Ferrari Dinosaur if..."and brought up a
good point. "Ferrari Dinosaurs" remember the days when Ferrari owners drove their cars to the shows, but
today many of the cars are trailered, even the new ones! Mark and I
will not change the world of showing Ferraris, but are going to prove
that some Ferrari owners still drive their cars to shows! Wish us luck!
