I would like to thank all of the Ferrari Owners Club members who joined us to officially open our new workshop facility in Kent.

The weather made it a perfect day for a run in the car and over 150 of you were most welcome.

As well as a fantastic display of concours winning cars in our workshop I would like to thank John Reaks for displaying his Benetton F1 car once driven by Nelson Piquet and his team for starting the engine to mark the official opening. This magical sound made it a truly memorable occasion.

With Chapel Down wine flowing and complementing the delicious buffet of food supplied by A J Barkaway butchers in Faversham, it was for me a fantastic day to catch up with friends both old and new, to talk Ferraris.

Thank you to Rob from Supercar Detailing for his support and the demonstrations he performed throughout the day and Russell for his advise on leather care and treatment.

I hope you all enjoyed our hospitality and I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Ian Barkaway
