We will drive on CA - 1 North to CA - 17 N to Los Gatos. It is a 60 mile drive, and will take approximately 60 minutes. It is a freeway with a two lane highway in some hilly areas. A very beautiful coastal California drive both the driver and passenger will enjoy, as well as the GTO!

We will arrive at Campo di Bocce, an "Italian Ristorante, Bocce Facility and Full Bar" located in the quaint and historical town of Los Gatos, in the heart of Silicon Valley. The owners are enthusiastic Italians and are excited about welcoming our group. www.campodibocce.com. We will have full use of their private parking lot in the front of the restaurant and security guards will be provided to keep an eye on the cars.

We will enjoy outside dining alongside three reserved state-of-the-art Bocce courts amid vine covered arbors and Cypress trees. We will receive instruction in the game of Bocce for those that need it! Its fun and oh, so Italian!

The reunion will be photographed extensively, and it will be featured in Joe's upcoming book on the Ferrari 288 GTO, to be published by Veloce in 2010.
