Default Gto

There was an article quite a few years ago about a Ferrari GTO reunion. It was in Italy or France. The reunion was to be a low key rally type event where they would stop for meals at predetermined restaurants for the wine and cheese thing that is so popular with this set. The cars were shipped to the event from all over the planet. The particpants showed up decked out for the high life. Their female companions were in their finest social wear and fresh from the hair salons. It didn't take them long to figure out that a Ferrari GTO was intended to be raced and not for luxurious touring. They showed up to dine soaked in sweat with ruined hairdo's and smelling of motor oil and racing gasoline and their ears ringing. It didn't really set the mood that they had anticipated. They were all at each other's throats and the female companions departed to leave the boys to their toys. Many of the boys bailed out early as well. All in all it was a very humorous account of unrealized joy.
By the way,I have seen that #22 car at the Cavalino Classic in West Palm Beach. Ferrari of Washington sends down a couple of transporters for the January event. I probably have some track photos.
