This was my second round at being a participant in this event. I wasn't the event organizer or spokesperson giving out the instructions but I was the one who planned the morning route. There were probably 30+ cars, Ferraris, a few Maseratis and 3 Huracans. As we headed out I was last in line, a little further down the street I took the free lane to get in the middle of the pack but ended up being the first in line at the red light! On the highway I was trying to go slow to let people get ahead of me so I could enjoy the view but nope everyone was following. After a while I had enough so Luzifer took the reins, only 3 cars kept pace, the rest disappeared in my rear view mirror.
When we arrived at the destination a couple in a Ferrari who had kept pace disembarked, the woman said loudly, "You were going quite fast young man!"
Some of the cars...
We had other events during the day, in the middle of the parade in the opposite direction, a guy in a white Tecnica waved me to stop, asking my name, it was the previous owner of my car! He was there at the event to be a spectator but a volunteer saw his car thinking he belonged with the group, he coaxed him into the parade! After that he told me he had parked beside me while I was away, he caressed his old car reminiscing of the good times, he kept looking at it all evening...
Next they had blocked off an entire street for a demonstration for the crowd. When it was my turn I drove it to the max of its capabilities, I reached speeds that would have your car seized on the spot and going straight to jail, I had to push real hard on the brakes at the end of the line I was approaching the concrete barrier real fast! After the second lap I was smelling the brake pads inside the cab and experienced brake fade so you can imagine how scary fast and dicey it got.

As you can see it was jammed packed farther than the eye could see. People enjoying the festivities, the music, the restaurants that spilled onto the streets and the cars on display. The model was a huge hit again, The guy's GF motioning to the orange H said, "can you imagine how many times this car has been photographed?"
As we were leaving I encouraged the crowd to say cheese! What a wonderful experience of a lifetime!
