Gala PreviewEvery year before the Auto Show there is a preview benefit thrown by Gruppo Ferrarri Maserati for East Side House Settlement. Our intrepid reporter (Vin) made it this year and here’s his review: It was awesome. We had all access to all the cars,it was really nice. No one else was around either. It was a really good time. I have the pics at home, I only have a couple here.It was great and easy and you got to see all the exhibits, it was all you can eat: Smoked Salmon hors d'oeuvres, Steak, Open Bar… The floors were basically empty, open access to all the cars- even the ones on the platforms. We got to sit in the Ferrari 360 Spyder, all the Bentleys, the Ford GT, the Ford Shelby Cobra, the Austin Martins- stuff you never get to even get close to in the actual car show- and no lines! It wasn't too bad to get in, we paid with credit card at the door, ($150 with $125 tax deductible)- people were pretty dressy, evening gowns, suits- but it varied. We were in business casual clothes. BMW didn't have anything but the new Mini convertible was there, that's cool. The new ‘Vette was there, the new Ferrari 612 was there and they were starting up the Ferraris and revving them including an old Daytona Race car and a 456 race car-sounded awesome.We didn’t do the auction for the Maserati or the silent auctions. Subaru had a cool game you can play, really cool. The new Maseratis were there including the Spyders. The top 3 cars on my shopping list are Ferrari, Astin Martin and the 911 turbo. At the gala preview I was able to take the driver’s seat in all these cars, touch the cockpit controls, try out the shift pattern… it was cool.
I am SO going to the Gala next year!!!! Thanks Vin! Pics follow, updates when I get ‘em… Vin’s got more pics and there are more special previews and events at the show.
