[DeTomaso] [SDP] Forza DeTomaso "Festa" in Monterey!

[Effie Richards]

Thank you Marshall, well said!
Kudos once again to Ed Mendez and Dave and Linda Adler for an awesome event, for taking a huge financial risk, working their butts off and delivering such a fun and well organized event!
Although we were not there, very unfortunately, we were watching everything posted, from the background here and we were amazed! 
Dave and Linda, with their years of knowledge, such wealth of information and organization, were fantastic! And our Ed delivered beautifully! I just don’t know why POCA did not take him up on his offer. He is an outstanding event planner and I loved seeing all the cars and Pantera family friends once again!
Amazing people and their cars, outstanding sponsors, on behalf of Robert and I, thank you all so much and we hope to be there next year if you decide to do it again.
Also many thanks to all those, besides Ed and the Adlers, who posted videos and photos of the event, to bring us all there in some magical way.
We love you and appreciate you more than you can imagine!
Effie and Robert Richards

Ed Mendez once again knocked it out of the park with his 'Festa' in Monterey last weekend and it was epic! From start to finish, a seamless and well-organized event was held in one of the most beautiful locales on the planet. Dave and Linda Adler, who rounded out the organizational committee for Forza DeTomaso, combined their usual expert event planning with effortless guidance of all who attended. The result was a thoroughly fun time for everyone. From a couple laps of Laguna Seca Raceway to a guided tour of Canepa Design to a photoshoot on the famed 17 Mile Drive, the event could not have gone smoother.

Finally, Pantera owners have a second National event where they can socialize and showcase their wonderful cars. 'This' Pantera Owners Club is all about the members and not about the organization which is how it should be.

   Kudos once again to Ed Mendez and Dave and Linda Adler for an awesome
   event, for taking a huge financial risk, working their butts off and
   delivering such a fun and well organized event!

   Although we were not there, very unfortunately, we were watching

   Dave and Linda, with their years of knowledge, such wealth of

   beautifully! I just don't know why POCA did not take him up on his

   Amazing people and their cars, outstanding sponsors, on behalf of
   Robert and I, thank you all so much and we hope to be there next year
   if you decide to do it again.
