Fled 6: May 2-6 2012 Wed-Sun Scotland

maurodev · 01-24-2012, 07:22 AM

I wish all of you a fantastic and succesful Fled. It is a pity I can't join this year, but I will really try to be present to the next one, so to know in person some of you.

ciao
Mauro

All hotels booked and confirmed. I'm crossing from France via the tunnel, but a few days earlier, so will rendez-vous at the start point.

I have declined my mistresses' wishes to come along. They need to show up in a Ferrari for that.

We shall have to rely on the supply of each given route's destination.

To his health recovery!

Marcel is a real gentleman, as well as a Ferrari expert. Hope his health improves rapidly.

Sounds like it is all coming together beautifully for FLED 6.

Hi Capo, home again ? Question: Will you come to Fled with the 246GT, the 430 or the 612 ?

Diego550 · 01-25-2012, 07:35 AM

We're all booked up too. Look forward to it!

Hi, 212!!

I'm right now using the Zürich Airport Lounge computer awaiting my Lugano hop. Unfortunately no new computer yet, sorry

.

I am so tempted to take the Dino but I will likely take the 430 in order to be as sporty as possible.

After another dozen of tankfulls of 98 octane plus led substitution, I have got to know the Dino very well. The weather has been extraordinary in Ticino lately. The Dino will likely need a new set of synchronization rings and new front shocks. Apart from that it is just so much fun. They have already fixed some issues since I got it back on the road, the most important issue being overhauling the steering - it is now wonderfully crisp inspite of the old-tech high profile tyres. I am impressed and considering how ordinary cars performed back in the early seventies it must have been a revelation to drive a Dino for the first time. Actually, it still is.

If they fix the box and the shocks plus a list of minor malfunctions before Fled, I will be very tempted to go in the Dino!

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the Dino so much. Capo it would be a wonderful if you would come with the Dino, it would be very special and a GREAT addition to all other cars attending.

Thanx in advance. w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy, I will email you a few suggestions.

Jimmy, if you want entertaining, Vitalone and I would be happy to come to London a couple days early and keep you company or show you some sites.

Onno

tazandjan · 01-25-2012, 03:23 PM

Whoo, that sounds like a good deal for Jimmy. You three could get in serious, but fun, trouble in London.

Vitalone · 01-26-2012, 01:32 AM

Jimmy, we'll party hearty and responsibly! As part of seeing the sights of London, a terrific city!

Hey Mauro,
I think you really should see if it would be possible for you to join us and participate....would be very nice to see you at FLED6!

You are Italian, you can make everybody do what you want, so it can not be that hard to arrange...

(reminds me of an Italian phrase: You are absolutely free to do as we tell you....LOL)

550JM · 01-27-2012, 05:35 AM

just received confirmation from Ald. Castle.
This completes all my bookings/confirmations...

Nice phrase...it sounds like one from Berlusconi!
