The 2010 PVGP: http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... 16&t=10494 Not much has changed, except the Ferrari GTO is no longer $7.5 million, it's now $38 million :shock:

The view from the first photo in this post gives you some idea of the Cortile's layout; a long rectangle (actually, the 18th fairway). Kudos to the organizers for a scenic drive East, rather than into the city. Guys, try and get a waiver from the promoter re: ban on canopies, chairs, etc. If you have an exclusive FFO area, this should be possible. July weather can be awful; in 2010 folks were huddled under trees like cattle escaping the sun.

+1 on the chair/canopy waiver, Craig. I understand the concerns about marking/denting up the fairway, but canopies do less than a horde of (even lightweight) sports cars. Visitors like to talk to car owners, and it's easier to be there with the car if one is also not cooking one's self :shock: Pat remains quite interested in the event, especially with Falling Water on the sched.

I think the ban is to prevent flyaway items from damaging other cars. It's a public golf course, so it gets beat up pretty well anyway :wink:

It's ok - I'll approve it :)

On the road trip - less excited about it as the "general stiffness" I thought I had after the RV trip actually turned out to be two herniated discs...... Hmmmm.....

Jay, I am making it a priority to seek you out!!
We have been speaking with the organizer of the Cortile to see if we can get the use of E Z Ups approved.I will let everyone know as soon as I hear a definitive answer.
I know that several years ago,a big group from Toronto rented a tractor trailer/car carrier to get to FFO.Hey,you can pack a bunch of Fiats on one of those :lol: From memory,it ended up being fairly inexpensive when the cost was split up.I will ask Jerry Cuchiarra for more info,as I think he organized that.
I have been to a FFO without my car.I still had a blast.Last year,several people rented a Fiat 500 after flying in.Not necessary though.You will be just as welcome ,even if the car has to stay home!
I really feel this is going to be a epic FFO.Besides our cars,we are the centerpiece of a huge car show.Throw in vintage sports car racing (including hopefully,a all Fiat race) and we have a helluva event.

Craig, I am looking forward to seeing all of my fans in person 8) Booking the hotel tonight :twisted: I am driving down (hopefully with some friends) about an 8 hr trip and it is going to be awesome :mrgreen: I am super excited to have the opportunity to participate at this years event. Lots of prep and organizing to do for my first FFO and I know the forum will assist along the way. GoPro, Fiona and cash are ready for anything, it is going to be epic.
