Hello <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> family and friends, Jay Weitzel here wishing<br />
the first half <strong>of</strong> 2005 has treated you well, certainly better (I hope) than it<br />
has our Formula One team?$#@!! We will talk more about that later. As<br />
summer gets into full stride here in the sunshine state, school is finished for<br />
another year for our younger <strong>Ferrari</strong>sti, the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong>’s busy season is<br />
over, and just about everyone else, everywhere else, are kicking their<br />
Prancing Horses out <strong>of</strong> their garages and into events every weekend. Go<br />
pick up a copy <strong>of</strong> the FCA News bulletin and you’ll see what I mean. <strong>The</strong><br />
good folks up in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and <strong>of</strong> course our north-<strong>of</strong>-the<br />
-border brethren in the Canadian regions are now working hard. We certainly<br />
won’t forget the Midwest who just finished hosting the 2005 FCA<br />
Annual Meet teaming up with the Circus that is Formula one, that was a<br />
complete week <strong>of</strong> all that is <strong>Ferrari</strong>. For all <strong>of</strong> you reading this up north,<br />
enjoy your summer fun and pace yourselves because you still have us to<br />
come home to and we will keep you busy thru 2006. However, for all <strong>of</strong> us<br />
staying here this summer season do not worry, do not sweat, the <strong>Florida</strong><br />
<strong>Region</strong> will invade the Conch Republic once again!!!<br />
Well, at the very least the Cheeca Lodge and Spa in<br />
beautiful Islamorada. Join us July 22, 23, 24 for we<br />
have the suntan lotion already packed and the north<br />
beach <strong>of</strong> the Lodge will again be our private oasis for<br />
Saturday night’s festivities. A couple <strong>of</strong> surprises in<br />
store for Saturday and <strong>of</strong> course, the German Grand<br />
Prix on Sunday morning. We made Friday night’s “get<br />
together” a cocktail party with the back deck <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Lodge reserved just for us. <strong>The</strong> most important things<br />
you should remember about Summer Soiree II are: 1)<br />
if you are wearing long pants you are waaaaaay overdressed,<br />
2) If you expect anything formal, your expectations<br />
are waaaaaay to high, and finally, 3) special<br />
prizes will be awarded for the “LOUDEST” Hawaiian<br />
shirt at Saturday night’s Barbeque. This is the “kick<br />
back and chill” event for us that if you and your prancing<br />
horse have never been <strong>of</strong>f the Mainland, check it<br />
out and you’ll see why all who have can’t wait to take<br />
US 1 south. Come join us, we have saved you a drink<br />
under the moonlight and tiki torches.......<br />
Looking back at this last couple <strong>of</strong> months<br />
there have certainly been some changes to our club. I<br />
would like to talk about some <strong>of</strong> them now and let you<br />
know what is in store for all <strong>of</strong> us as we “electrify” the<br />
<strong>Region</strong>. This will make every aspect <strong>of</strong> joining us for any and every event<br />
much easier. What I mean by electrify is that all event registrations will be<br />
available as always via our website (fcafloridaregion.com) but from now on<br />
the registration form will become “ACTIVE” and you will fill the form out<br />
online and when submitted the completely secure information (credit card<br />
number, address, etc.) will go straight to our Bank <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> account,<br />
immediately showing you if entered properly or not. <strong>The</strong> immediate benefit<br />
for you will be registration no longer requiring the download, print, fax, and<br />
hope we got it, chain <strong>of</strong> events. <strong>The</strong> benefit for us is monumental, no more<br />
trying to read faxes that did not print properly, or chasing down someone<br />
who did not sign up for this lunch or that<br />
track session, or credit card numbers not<br />
working. All vital event information will be<br />
recorded immediately and will be<br />
accessed via a very easy to work with<br />
spreadsheet, tracking all entries for easy<br />
printout at registration. <strong>The</strong> entire spreadsheet<br />
(<strong>of</strong> course minus the secure info.)<br />
will be used by Larry and Sherry Sietsma<br />
to provide the most accurate and up to<br />
date registration forms we have ever had<br />
as a <strong>Club</strong>. <strong>The</strong> best part <strong>of</strong> this system will<br />
be if you wish to register at the track or in<br />
the Keys or at any other event we may<br />
have, you’ll do it right there via laptop on<br />
the “active” webpage registration and be<br />
good to go. Now don’t<br />
despair, if you still wish<br />
to do it the “old way”<br />
Don Bartz our new<br />
Treasurer (you know<br />
Don, remember Costa<br />
Rica), will still take your<br />
fax sending it through the computer<br />
exactly as I described before but will be<br />
secure and much more efficient. This<br />

method <strong>of</strong> processing is not only safer and more efficient but also cheaper for the<br />
club per transaction. Think PayPal on eBay or ordering anything online and you got<br />
the idea... OK enough about business.<br />
I mentioned earlier that our Treasurer is now Don Bartz. That is because<br />
our longtime “keeper <strong>of</strong> the checkbook” Melissa Lundberg has “RETIRED” from her<br />
position to move onward and upward to bigger and better things, mainly chasing her<br />
brand new baby boy all around the house and all us who have kids know that is more<br />
than a full time job. So from all <strong>of</strong> us here in the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> we say THANK YOU<br />
MELISSA!!!, and the best to you and your new family, thank you for all that you have<br />
done for so long to have kept us “in the black.” Drop Melissa an e-mail sometime to<br />
tell her thank you and say hi....<br />
A quick couple <strong>of</strong> words on the Formula One world championship and how<br />
things are going for the “home team” Michael, Rubens and <strong>Ferrari</strong> this year. Well<br />
enough about that..... How’s that 8 cylinder looking..... Bridgestone who?..... next.....<br />
As the changes keep coming, I would like to <strong>of</strong>ficially welcome Mr. Steve<br />
Cantera from Naples to our Board <strong>of</strong> Directors and to thank him for becoming our<br />
West Coast Chapter Representative. Steve is a long time “<strong>Ferrari</strong> Guy” and we are<br />
looking forward to “hangin out” more over on the Gulfside, and, working on some<br />
great events together in the future. <strong>The</strong>re are a lot <strong>of</strong> great folks doing a lot <strong>of</strong> great<br />
things all over <strong>Florida</strong> and to be able to join in the fun and truly enjoy what this<br />
<strong>Region</strong> has to <strong>of</strong>fer, from track to tiki torch, is what we are all about. Thanks again,<br />
to Steve and Welcome Aboard.....<br />
If you all remember from the first issue <strong>of</strong> this year’s <strong>Red</strong>line, and those<br />
<strong>of</strong> us lucky enough to have gone, our San Jose, Costa Rica trip was a great success<br />
and we have decided to make this kind <strong>of</strong> international excursion a yearly<br />
event. that being said, we would like to take our 2006 trip to Italy. YES, that’s<br />
right, ITA LY. A <strong>Ferrari</strong> Factory tour, Modena, Maranello, and beyond. We need<br />
ideas, connections, and any kind <strong>of</strong> general suggestions you may have to <strong>of</strong>f e r.<br />
This endeavor will certainly take a lot <strong>of</strong> preflight planning and we need your help.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plan is to go third week <strong>of</strong> September 2006. Stay Tuned and call, e-mail, or<br />
fax us with your help.....<br />
I do not wish to steal any thunder from Debbie Pyle who will be coming right<br />
up as you turn the pages telling us all about our second Disney Celebration <strong>of</strong> Exotic<br />
Cars Festival, however, again, all <strong>of</strong> us who were lucky enough to attend will certainly<br />
agree, this was the highlight <strong>of</strong> the year. Our longtime charity, Make-A-Wish, and was<br />
represented by a great family who, because <strong>of</strong> our generous giving last year, made<br />
their wish come true. After their presentation and because <strong>of</strong> a lot <strong>of</strong> big hearted folks<br />
in the audience, MANY more children will get their wish this year. This is an event that<br />
should not be missed. A huge thanks to Jeff and his incredible committee for putting<br />
together this hopefully permanent addition to the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> calendar.....<br />
<strong>The</strong> extravaganza that is the Sebring Spring Spectacular took pace at the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> April and to say it was a success would be the understatement <strong>of</strong> this publication.<br />
This <strong>of</strong> course, was the first track event <strong>of</strong> our calendar year (stay tuned<br />
there will be more), and my first as <strong>Region</strong>al Director. Mother Nature seemed to<br />
take care <strong>of</strong> me and <strong>of</strong>fered up my <strong>of</strong>ficial baptism as Saturday morning brought<br />
about 2 inches <strong>of</strong> rain in one hour and drowned out any hopes <strong>of</strong> early Saturday<br />
morning runs. <strong>The</strong> rain ended as fast as it started and before noon we were looking<br />
up at blue sky and bright sun. <strong>The</strong> Sebring schedule, in my opinion, is not broken,<br />
does not need fixed, and should stay as it’s always been. We always start<br />
with Thursday night around the bar at the Chateau Elan and the story telling and<br />
catching up runs way into the night. When I went to bed the <strong>Ferrari</strong> <strong>of</strong> Central
<strong>Florida</strong> boys were still “working hard” at both ends <strong>of</strong> the room but no worries<br />
because Friday morning brought hot sun lots <strong>of</strong> tech-inspected <strong>Ferrari</strong>s and the<br />
boys were ready to go without missing a step.<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> <strong>of</strong> Central <strong>Florida</strong> has been a wonderful sponsor for us at Sebring<br />
for many years now and we thank them for all they do both at Sebring and for our<br />
Celebration event. Without their help the event could not be put together as smoothly<br />
and as pr<strong>of</strong>essionally as it is. Again, Thank you for all you do.<br />
Friday lunch at Sebring, again as always, catered by Big John and his crew<br />
at Executive Catering had a little twist to it this year in that it was about 160 degrees<br />
by noontime and we all needed a break from the heat so we commandeered the<br />
Media Room, the air conditioned Media Room, fresh from the previous weekend’s<br />
12-hour race. It was upstairs looking right out on the track. <strong>The</strong> Speed Channel was<br />
tuned in and with the comfortable tables and chairs we certainly thank the race control<br />
guys for keeping us cool during lunch and also for “hooking us up” with the public<br />
address system and security overnight keeping all the prancing horses corralled.<br />
Friday morning brought what is one <strong>of</strong> the most important parts <strong>of</strong> all our track<br />
events. Peter A r g e t s i n g e r, our longtime pr<strong>of</strong>essional instructor had the drivers’ s c h o o l<br />
set up and working his magic with first time and repeat students and longtime instructors.<br />
This part <strong>of</strong> our track event is sometimes overlooked, but I believe needs a little<br />
more spotlight put on it. Pete and crew can certainly show you the line around the<br />
track, but more important, they can give you the confidence you need to “heel and toe”<br />
your way to a great lap, or get you out and around for the first time. <strong>The</strong> fantastic safety<br />
record we have here in <strong>Florida</strong>, is owed in big part to the drivers’ school and its<br />
instructors. Thank you Peter, and all your instructors so very much again.<br />
As the sun set Friday night we headed for the tent set up for us behind the<br />
Chateau and believe me when I say this tent is NOT Boy Scout caliber. We are talking<br />
chandelier in the center, water fountain underneath, and <strong>Ferrari</strong> flags flying. This<br />
year we added the “day in review” for lack <strong>of</strong> a better title as the pictures taken all<br />
day long <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> us showed throughout the evening in a slideshow presentation.<br />
Thanks to “Official <strong>Club</strong> Photographer” Nadia for doing a great job chasing everyone<br />
down, and to Charlie Scardina Jr. for the laptop to “make it happen.”<br />
S a t u r d a y ’s rainout found us right back upstairs in the media room for the<br />
d r i v e r s ’ meeting and chalk talk by Pete Argetsinger and Chief Track Steward Bob<br />
Pease. Bob I thank for keeping everyone running in the right groups and all the<br />
other “fires” he put out throughout the weekend without us even knowing. By lunch<br />
all was right back on Schedule. Saturday night concluded with our DJs spinning<br />
records and what has become an almost given at our events, but we are all so lucky<br />
to have, our sponsors giveaways and raffles. I must thank the VERY, VERY, generous<br />
Jack DiMaio from Pirelli Tires, Pirelli being one <strong>of</strong> our longtime sponsors, for<br />
all the goodies given away.<br />
Sunday morning rolled around, and you can see by the pictures, our<br />
Concours was quite diverse with excellent examples <strong>of</strong> both old and new. As always,<br />
Steve Selz our Chief Judge handled the field with ease. A big thanks to Steve and<br />
FCASenior Judge Greg Jones who substituted for Master IAC/PFA Judge Bob Selz<br />
who was on vacation in the far east.<br />
I wish to thank everyone who participated in Sebring and everyone who<br />
helped make my first go at Sebring just like any other <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> track event.<br />
Which I can honestly say is nothing short <strong>of</strong> Spectacular.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> keeps getting better all the time because <strong>of</strong> people like<br />
you. Please e-mail or call or fax me anytime with comments and feedback on what<br />
you see, Good or bad..... I’ll let you read on..... Fly safe..... Jay.<br />

A TRADITION OF SERVICE<br />
Back when <strong>Ferrari</strong> first entered the US marketplace, he was<br />
there. <strong>The</strong>n, when <strong>Ferrari</strong> bought the US import rights, he was<br />
there as well. And, when the <strong>Ferrari</strong> dealer network really began<br />
to build all across the country…yes, he was there then, too.<br />
You might say that Joe Yuliano has been around. Now he’s<br />
back in <strong>Florida</strong> as the Shelton <strong>Ferrari</strong> - Maserati Service<br />
Manager. And that’s a good thing.<br />
After earning a degree in Automotive Technology, one <strong>of</strong><br />
Joe’s former instructors referred him to Chinetti / Garthwaite out<br />
<strong>of</strong> Paoli, Pennsylvania, one <strong>of</strong> the country’s first <strong>Ferrari</strong><br />
importers. Joe worked with the company until 1979 as a prep<br />
mechanic, getting the cars ready for the growing list <strong>of</strong> North <strong>America</strong>n enthusiasts.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, <strong>Ferrari</strong> purchased the import rights for the North <strong>America</strong>n market, establishing<br />
the foundation for what is <strong>Ferrari</strong> North <strong>America</strong> today. Joe worked with the budding<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> organization here in the U.S. as the shop manager for the east coast, prepping<br />
cars for the expanding network <strong>of</strong> dealerships.<br />
Just two years later, Joe was tapped to become the Zone Technical<br />
Representative for the <strong>Ferrari</strong> factory. He traveled throughout the country, handling just<br />
about everything, from technical evaluations, warranty service, customer contact,<br />
accident investigations and more. It was this broad foundation <strong>of</strong> experience and<br />
expertise that cemented Joe’s lifelong career with <strong>Ferrari</strong>.<br />
In 1994, Joe was an important member <strong>of</strong> the Shelton family as our service<br />
manager. After another decade with <strong>Ferrari</strong> dealerships and repair shops in other parts<br />
<strong>of</strong> the country, he has once again “come home.”<br />
“I’ve spent literally half my life with <strong>Ferrari</strong>. I started with<br />
the marque when it was a very young company here in the U.S.,<br />
and I have grown as the company has grown over the years,” Joe<br />
said. “Throughout my career, I’ve had the fortunate experience to<br />
work hands-on with these cars in just about every situation, and<br />
that has given me unique expertise that I am now able to bring to<br />
S h e l t o n ’s clients throughout <strong>Florida</strong> and throughout the country. ”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Shelton Service Department handles repairs, regular<br />
maintenance and special service requests for up to 10 vehicles<br />
at a time, all expertly handled by techs that are factorytrained<br />
and certified. Joe has some special suggestions for<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> owners this summer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> heat and humidity here in <strong>Florida</strong> means that<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong>s need special attention over the coming months. Cooling<br />
systems and brake systems should be flushed at least one a<br />
year. And pay attention to those internal lights on your dashboard;<br />
they are indicators for sophisticated monitoring systems<br />
for your <strong>Ferrari</strong>, and can alert you to a potential issue before it<br />
becomes a major problem. We are experts at diagnostic services,<br />
and can pinpoint and correct anything that might be amiss<br />
with your <strong>Ferrari</strong>,” Joe said.<br />
For a Shelton Service Department appointment, please<br />
give Chris Weeks in our Service Department a call at<br />
954.493.5211 or 800.862.0858.

MONACO 2005: F1AND THE FLORIDA REGION<br />
<strong>The</strong> FCA <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> was well represented at the 63rd Grand Prix <strong>of</strong><br />
Monaco on May 22, 2005. El Presidente Jay Weitzel was there with wife Denise, Don<br />
Bartz and his wife, Karen, and yours truly, Barry Paraizo with wife Linda.<br />
<strong>The</strong> weather was gorgeous - high 70’s every day and cooler at night. We all<br />
stayed at the Hotel Aria in Nice, a 5-minute walk from the train station and 10 minutes<br />
from the beach. It was a 25-minute train ride back and forth to Monaco, except on race<br />
day when there were thousands <strong>of</strong> extra people<br />
riding the trains and it took 2 hours.<br />
Our tickets were in grandstand K which<br />
was right next to the headquarters <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Automobile <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> Monaco, the organizers <strong>of</strong> the<br />
race. we were directly across from the port where<br />
all the mega yachts were moored watching the festivities.<br />
Jay could swear he saw Jennifer Anniston<br />
on one <strong>of</strong> the yachts!! Looking up the hill to our<br />
right was the palace where hundreds <strong>of</strong> people<br />
were lounging on the grass or in lawn chairs<br />
watching the race. We had tickets for the practice<br />
and qualifying sessions on Thursday and Saturday<br />
and for the Grand Prix itself on Sunday.<br />
For the first time since Formula One started<br />
racing in monaco in 1980, Prince Rainier, who<br />
died April 6, was not around to watch the race he<br />
so cherished. <strong>The</strong> city fell silent for a moment <strong>of</strong><br />
respect before the start, with the drivers gathering<br />
in front <strong>of</strong> Prince Albert and his sister Princess<br />
Caroline.<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> and Michael Schumacher were<br />
certainly the crowd favorite, as anytime Michael<br />
passed in front <strong>of</strong> us, everyone stood up and<br />
cheered. Also, for every 5 booths <strong>of</strong> vendors selling<br />
race paraphernalia, 4 were <strong>Ferrari</strong>. Most <strong>of</strong> the yachts as well were flying <strong>Ferrari</strong><br />
flags. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be - Michael (even though he had one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fastest qualifying laps on Thursday) started eighth. Despite running into David<br />
Coulthard’s <strong>Red</strong> Bull car on lap 24 in a mishap caused by Christian Albers’ Minardi,<br />
Michael was able, on the last lap, to pass his teammate Rubens Barrichello to finish in<br />
7th position, 400ths <strong>of</strong> a second behind his brother Ralf. As you all know by now, the<br />
winner was Kimi “the Iceman” Raikkonen in the West McLaren Mercedes.<br />
Monaco and Nice are both great places to visit,<br />
whether or not the Grand Prix is going on. <strong>The</strong>re is much to see<br />
and do, including HSH Prince Rainier's collection <strong>of</strong> fine automobiles,<br />
the Palace, the Casino (ask Jay and Don why they<br />
missed the last train back to Nice and had to take a taxi). <strong>The</strong>re<br />
was even time to catch the tail end <strong>of</strong> the Cannes Film Festival.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Grand Prix <strong>of</strong> Monaco, the last true street circuit in<br />
Formula One, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be<br />
missed. Whether you stay in Nice or Monte-Carlo, whether you<br />
watch from a yacht, an apartment balcony, or a grandstand, you<br />
should go!! Don’t let anyone tell you it is too expensive - our tour<br />
cost less than 10 days in Alaska! I would go again in a heartbeat<br />
but if i never get to go again, I will die happy.<br />

A TRIBUTE TO CARLISLE MARSHALL<br />
by Debbie Pyle<br />
Once again, I have the sad duty <strong>of</strong> writing an article about a<br />
person who enriched the lives <strong>of</strong> many and made numerous contributions<br />
to the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ferrari</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>. Carlisle<br />
Marshall, the fourth regional director <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong>, passed<br />
away on April 13th at his home in Jupiter.<br />
I first remember meeting Carlisle in the spring <strong>of</strong> 1983.<br />
Strangely enough this was the same event where I met Pat Godard. As<br />
Jim and I were leaving the concours field Carlisle stuck his head in the<br />
window <strong>of</strong> our 308 and thanked us for coming to the event and invited<br />
us to attend an event at his home later in the year.<br />
As I came to know Carlisle, I found that he loved all cars, not<br />
just <strong>Ferrari</strong>s. He had owned many classis cars and moved into <strong>Ferrari</strong>s<br />
in the early 80’s. Carlisle did a great deal <strong>of</strong> the work on his cars himself.<br />
He would think nothing <strong>of</strong> painting a car by himself.<br />
Carlisle was also a race fan. Upon visiting <strong>Ferrari</strong>’s race team<br />
garage in Sebring in the 60’s he thought he was having a heart attack<br />
as a result <strong>of</strong> seeing a GTO. He was so convinced <strong>of</strong> this that he had<br />
his friends drive him to the hospital!<br />
Under Carlisle’s leadership the <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Region</strong> grew and prospered.<br />
He had the vision to see that the region needed a newsletter<br />
and thus was the birth <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Red</strong>line. As regional director he oversaw<br />
the first FCA National in <strong>Florida</strong> in 1986 and served as registration<br />
chairman for the 1993 National Meet.<br />
Even though Carlisle moved away from <strong>Ferrari</strong>s in the mid<br />
90’s his interest in cars continued. In more recent years he could be<br />
found at the Amelia Island Concours showing cars and talking cars with<br />
his many friends.<br />
His survivors include his wife Barbara, three sons; Craig,<br />
Scott and Todd; and daughter Lisa. Carlisle Marshall will be missed by<br />
all those who knew him as he was a great lover <strong>of</strong> people and cars.<br />
FERRARIS ON THE TARMAC<br />
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, March 26th<br />
when the sound <strong>of</strong> thunder filled the air at the Boca Aviation<br />
Terminal at the Boca Raton Executive Airport. Only this time it<br />
wasn’t weather related or the sound <strong>of</strong> jet aircraft landing and<br />
departing. It was the sound <strong>of</strong> a few dozen <strong>Ferrari</strong>’s pulling onto<br />
the tarmac for a memorable day <strong>of</strong> conversation, food, friends<br />
(old and new) and the opportunity to view two <strong>of</strong> the finest private<br />
aircraft available for fractional purchase through Marquis<br />
Jet, along with the new Rolls Royce Phantom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event was generously sponsored by <strong>Ferrari</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
member Brad Goldfarb from Morgan Stanley’s Boca Raton <strong>of</strong>fice and<br />
Adam Presser from Marquis Jet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> day lent itself to members getting acquainted and showing <strong>of</strong>f<br />
their cars. Some <strong>of</strong> the discussions included whether their cars could out-run<br />
the private jets from a stand still down the runway? Unfortunately, that<br />
wasn’t included in the days planned activities (even though there is no<br />
doubt who the winner would have been…and it wouldn’t have had a<br />
tube-like silhouette). Of the 25-30 <strong>Ferrari</strong>’s, there was a wide assortment<br />
<strong>of</strong> styles and colors…from the classic rosso 328 to the new<br />
Scaglietti (actually the car was literally days old) in a beautiful Bordeaux.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two private jets from NetJets/Marquis Jets were on display,<br />
another sign <strong>of</strong> the good life. An “entry level” (great phrase for a<br />
private jet aircraft) Cessna Citation and a Raytheon Hawker. NetJet<br />
captains were on hand to discuss the capabilities <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the aircraft<br />
and attendees were permitted to board and be treated to the “whole experience”<br />
(without leaving the hanger).<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the event was to bring <strong>Ferrari</strong> <strong>Club</strong> members together<br />
(with their significant others) for a day <strong>of</strong> mingling and getting to know each<br />
other. Many members have requested non-track social events, and this<br />
turned out to be a great day for all.<br />

TECH TIPS<br />
Don’t do it is the only answer I can come up with when asked by a <strong>Ferrari</strong><br />
owner about jump starting their <strong>Ferrari</strong>. <strong>Ferrari</strong>s manufactured since the late<br />
eighties have a draw on the battery that is considered normal and acceptable.<br />
This is from automatic seat belts and other electric devices that are<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the modern era. When the car is not use for two or three weeks it will<br />
cause the battery to drain to the point <strong>of</strong> not starting the car. Batteries on<br />
older <strong>Ferrari</strong>s also discharge when left for longer periods <strong>of</strong> time. <strong>The</strong> solution<br />
for a dead battery in most owners mind, is jump start the car, or call<br />
someone to jump start the car and let the cars charging system recharge the<br />
b a t t e r y. <strong>The</strong> first, and probably most dangerous, problem that can occur is<br />
connecting the jumper cables reversed. I have personally seen this blow the<br />
top <strong>of</strong>f the battery and battery acid in the persons face that connected the<br />
jumper cables incorrectly. Sensitive electronic equipment, such as the cars<br />
computers, ECU’s, stereo system, ABS brake components and<br />
many more will be damaged by incorrectly connecting the jumper<br />
cables. As an example <strong>of</strong> the expense <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> these components,<br />
the ECU that controls the ABS brakes <strong>of</strong> a 348 has a list<br />
price <strong>of</strong> $3,934 and an alternator for the same car has a list<br />
price <strong>of</strong> $1,159. If everything goes smoothly to this point and<br />
you get the car started and running you still are overworking<br />
the cars charging system. <strong>The</strong> charging system was not<br />
meant to charge a dead battery. It was meant to replace the<br />
electricity used to start the car and to keep the car running<br />
once it starts. Many an alternator has been damaged by<br />
being overworked trying to charge a dead battery. As an<br />
alternative to jump starting your <strong>Ferrari</strong> when you find your<br />
battery is dead I recommend you purchase a battery<br />
charger and fully charge the battery before starting the<br />
c a r. Even a small inexpensive battery charger is suff icient.<br />
I like to use a charger marked automatic because<br />
it cuts back the rate <strong>of</strong> charging as the battery becomes<br />
charged. Even a ride on a flatbed truck to your favorite<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> dealer or shop can look inexpensive when<br />
compared to the cost <strong>of</strong> the electronic equipment that<br />
can be damaged when jump starting your <strong>Ferrari</strong>.<br />

AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Amelia Island Concours celebrated its tenth anniversary in perfect style<br />
under clear blue skies, with a stunning two hundred and eighty vehicle entry encompassing<br />
everything from vintage motorcycles, through steam cars, pre WWII sporting<br />
and luxury carriages for the gentry, the chrome and fins <strong>of</strong> the late fifties and early sixties,<br />
to race cars <strong>of</strong> all eras.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two main themes <strong>of</strong> this year’s gathering were Alfa Romeo, for which<br />
there were five classes, with a wonderful diverse display <strong>of</strong> supremely elegant pre-<br />
WWII models and an equally eclectic array <strong>of</strong> post-war models, whilst the racing theme<br />
celebrated the cars <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>n racing legend, Bobby Allison, who was present and<br />
honoured as Grand Marshall <strong>of</strong> the event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cars representing the<br />
career <strong>of</strong> Bobby Allison showed just<br />
what a diverse talent he was, with<br />
humble beginnings on the dirt tracks<br />
<strong>of</strong> the southern states, to legendary<br />
wins in NASCAR in a driving career<br />
spanning over thirty years, with races<br />
in touring cars, CanAm and the<br />
Indianapolis 500 along the way. T h e r e<br />
were also superb examples <strong>of</strong> many<br />
pre-war <strong>America</strong>n and European “carriages<br />
for the gentry” including the<br />
likes <strong>of</strong> Auburn, Cadillac, Cord,<br />
Duesenberg, Lincoln, and Packard on<br />
the USA side, with Bentley, Bugatti,<br />
Delahaye, Hispano Suiza, Mercedes<br />
Benz and Rolls Royce amongst those<br />
representing Europe. <strong>The</strong> Best <strong>of</strong><br />
Show award for a touring car went to<br />
a 1931 Bugatti Type 51 from the<br />
Nethercutt Collection, but it must<br />
have been a difficult choice for the<br />
judges, as the overall standard <strong>of</strong><br />
cars presented was extremely high.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was even a class for rear<br />
engine sedans, which brought out<br />
some real rarities, including a quite<br />
futuristic 1936 Stout Scarab, a 1948<br />
Tucker Torpedo and a Tatra T87 from<br />
the same year, but perhaps the<br />
strangest confection in this group was the 1974 Fascination, a bizarre red and white<br />
creation looking like a jet fighter shorn <strong>of</strong> its wings!<br />
If competition cars were your scene, then you were not forgotten, as apart<br />
from the <strong>of</strong>ferings within the manufacturers already mentioned, there were a number<br />
<strong>of</strong> nice examples spread around the concours lawn, like the Sunoco Lola T70, a Ford<br />
GT40, or the fresh out <strong>of</strong> a no expense spared restoration 1953 Porsche 550 Carrera<br />
Panamericana coupe, which won the competition car Best <strong>of</strong> Show award.<br />
For <strong>Ferrari</strong> enthusiasts there was a small but select display <strong>of</strong> models in the<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong> class ranging from a 166 MM barchetta to a 330 GTC, with two more examples<br />
in the sports racing groups, including the rarely seen in public Dino 206 S<br />
berlinetta, chassis # 012, resplendent in the Maranello<br />
Concessionaires racing livery <strong>of</strong> red with a Cambridge blue<br />
band. <strong>The</strong>n there was the trio <strong>of</strong> 250 GT models, the beautiful<br />
metallic blue 250 GT S1 PF Cabriolet <strong>of</strong> Peter Kalikow, a brilliant<br />
yellow 250 GT SWB Berlinetta and the flowing 250 GT<br />
SWB “Speciale”, featuring a 400 SAstyle body in aluminium on<br />
a 1961 competition chassis, looking superb in silver which<br />
accentuated the lightness <strong>of</strong> the design.<br />
<strong>The</strong> RM Auction on the Saturday also featured some<br />
<strong>Ferrari</strong>s amidst the lots, with two notable sales, the 166 MM<br />
Barchetta for $1.76 million, and the 365 GTB/4C for $1.98 million,<br />
both figures including buyer’s premium. Closer to most people’s<br />
wallet limitations was a 1976 fibreglass 308 GTB, which<br />
looked like new and was reportedly a completely original example<br />
with only 1400 miles on the clock, which found a new home<br />
at $46,200 including buyer’s premium, whilst a federalized two<br />
owner European Dino 246 GT achieved $60,500.<br />
This year’s gathering once again provided a real treat<br />
for the classic car enthusiast, with the truly superb array <strong>of</strong><br />
machinery gathered at the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton.
THE CELEBRATION FESTIVAL OF EXOTIC CARS AND THE DELOREAN GUY<br />
Having just returned form the Celebration<br />
show I have to say if you weren’t there you missed a<br />
great time. Jeff Ippoliti, with the able assistance <strong>of</strong> his<br />
brother Jim, has put together a great show. In only the<br />
second outing the concours has turned into a not to be<br />
missed event. To top it <strong>of</strong>f it is for a great cause, the<br />
Make-A-Wish Foundation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> town <strong>of</strong> Celebration reminds one <strong>of</strong><br />
Stepford, and being that close to Disney it kind <strong>of</strong><br />
makes you wonder. I checked out the locals and they<br />
did appear to be humanoid after all! One <strong>of</strong> our number<br />
questioned if I thought they measured the length <strong>of</strong> the<br />
grass before they cut it and my reply was “yep.” All that<br />
aside, the setting is spectacular. Closing the streets<br />
down to show <strong>of</strong>f exotic cars, mostly <strong>Ferrari</strong>s, is a sight<br />
to behold. In the event you get tired <strong>of</strong> checking out the<br />
hardware in the streets there are numerous shops and<br />
restaurants to tantalize your fancy.<br />
When I first heard that there would be other<br />
makes <strong>of</strong> cars at this show I must say I was somewhat<br />
d i s a p p o i n t e d . H o w e v e r, after attending the last two<br />
years I am very glad there are other cars there.<br />
Sometimes, we as <strong>Ferrari</strong> owners, become somewhat<br />
tunnel vision bound. Looking at and admiring other<br />
makes <strong>of</strong> cars can be an interesting and fun experience.<br />
This revelation brings me to the DeLorean part<br />
<strong>of</strong> my article. Now I know when you read the title you<br />
were thinking “what does she know about DeLoreans?”<br />
Well the answer to that question is “not much.” I know<br />
that when I look at one I tend to think about a kitchen<br />
sink in my first house that I promptly removed.<br />
However, something very interesting happened this<br />
year at Celebration. Like last year there was a<br />
DeLorean class. <strong>The</strong> night before the show a guy was<br />
working happily curbside on his stainless steel beauty<br />
as Jim and I sat in front <strong>of</strong> a café and watched his<br />
progress. Folks would come up and talk with him<br />
about his car and he would tell them the history <strong>of</strong> the<br />
make in general and his car in particular with a great<br />
deal <strong>of</strong> pride. Simply put, this guy loved his car! He got<br />
a great deal <strong>of</strong> pleasure in caring for his DeLorean and<br />
talking with others about his car. I didn’t see him on<br />
Saturday, but I would be willing to bet he also enjoyed<br />
showing his baby. His mood was infectious! Heck, I<br />
almost wanted to have a DeLorean by the time we left!<br />
<strong>The</strong> long and short <strong>of</strong> this is that sometimes you get the<br />
idea that you have to have the biggest or the best or the<br />
most expensive toy on the block to have the most fun.<br />
Well, that just isn’t so. <strong>The</strong> DeLorean guy at<br />
Celebration was having a blast and my hat is <strong>of</strong>f to him!<br />
