non-S2K: Italian cars at Oakbrook (29 June)

[Manuel NSX1164]

For those who missed the Oak Street event, and want to see more Italian Belle Machine D'Italias (am sure there will be a fair share of risotto-mobiles too )... mostly Ferraris, Lambos, Maseratis, Alfas. OLD and New.

At Oakbrook Polo Club on Sunday, June 29...
event signup here - http://www.fcacentralstates.org/oakbrookreg1.pdf

Most folks will be staging their cars on Saturday afternoon.

I'll be with these folks -- 1 Urraco and 1 Countach (not in picture).

Ferrari visit pix here -- http://public.fotki.com/nsx1164/cars...rari_visit_--/

Most pix are of F-1 cars and contemporary cars.
LOTS more footage of the older models, which I'll upload later as I have time.

NOTE: factory tours (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, etc -- even Honda in Takanezawa/Tochigi) are pretty restrictive on photography
