at the Auto Gallery - 2010 Article By Jim Bindman Last year Event Photos By Larry O’Rourke on January 24, 2009 we had two popular events scheduled for our members. One was the 2009 annual Auto Gallery Tech Session. It POURED that day. This year, on January 27th we also had two popular events scheduled for our members including the 2010 annual Auto Gallery Tech Session. It POURED that day too. That really isn’t supposed to happen here in SUNNY Southern California. The good news is that we now have indisputable proof that the cure for a Southern California drought is to schedule multiple FCA events on the same day. At 8:30 am, the huge modern service facility was quiet and empty....we were afraid no members would brave the elements and actually show up. But a little before 9:00 am the familiar sound of prancing horses and intermittent windshield wipers began to wail in the morning gloom. A bit more than 20 members finally arrived. Because of the smaller than normal attendance, owners had very thorough inspections with the staff who spent ample time on each car and explained every issue. Each car was inspected for well over 30 minutes and many systems were checked including brakes, suspension, belts, hoses, tires, motor mounts and undercarriage wear. This type of inspection at no charge is an exceptional benefit to our members. The best cappuccino machine this side of Modena was busy along with snacks (great cookies). The Auto Gallery Boutique was offering huge discounts on official Ferrari merchandise and generous “goody bags” were given to all the members. Sasha was on hand in case anyone wanted to buy or lease a new 599 and Nick was offering FCA discounts on parts. Continued on page 14 12
