DSC 0876 285x189 Amelia Island Concours dElegance 2011   Photo GalleryThe Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance 2011 was held Sunday, March 13th on the 10th and 18th fairways of the Golf Club of Amelia Island adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. An estimated 15,000 people attended the Amelia Concours on a zero cloud, perfectly sunny Florida day.

Honorary Chairman Bobby Rahal kicked off the 16th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance by driving onto the field in the March 82G-1 that he put on pole at the Daytona 24 Hours. In addition to Featured Guest Bobby Rahal, the featured marques at the Amelia Concours 2011 were the cars of Duesenberg, Allard, and Kurtis and the Concours highlighted 100 Years of Chevrolet and 100 Years of Indy.

Other Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance 2011 classes ranged from esoteric ones like Orphan Concept, One Man's Dream and the Cover Cars of Hot Rod to traditional Concours classes like American Classic Open, Ferrari and European Classic Pre-War.

Now deep into its second decade, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance is among the top automotive events in the world. Always held the second full weekend in March, "The Amelia" draws nearly 250 rare vehicles from collections around the world to The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach and The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island for a celebration of the automobile like no other. Since 1996, the show's Foundation has donated nearly $1.7 million to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. and other deserving charities on Florida's First Coast.

Foursquare Thugs: You're pretty popular, so we made some changes to make your foursquare better!

Hi there!

This note is to let you know about a change specific to your foursquare account. Because you have so many friends (popular!), we are now transferring your account into follow mode. Because foursquare only shows you the 20 most recent check-ins from friends, and we don't want your phone vibrating all day, we determined that 1000 friends will be the cap for normal accounts. Here's what that means for you:

  • We left your first 100 'friends' as friends, and converted the rest to followers. To mark any of the others as friends, go to your manage friends page to convert your new followers into friends. Reminder: you can't see your followers' check-ins and they can't comment on your check-ins.
  • To save your inbox, you will no longer get email notifications when someone sends you a foursquare friend request; instead the user will automatically be marked as a follower. You can periodically go through your friend list to convert people from followers to friends.
  • You can still send out friend requests as usual and follow brands as usual.
  • You have even better privacy controls. On each check in, you can choose whether to share your check-ins with your followers. If you send a check-in to facebook and/or twitter, it will automatically go to your followers
  • Followers can see your photos, shouts, and check-ins (that you've shared with them), but NOT comments from your friends.

We hope these new follower tools make it easier for you to get the most out of foursquare. If you have any questions, please see our searchable FAQ at support.foursquare.com.

Thanks!

Not anymore! Foursquare deleted 1,400 of my friends, 13 Mayorships and over 1,000 Tips I had posted over the past two years because of repeated criticism I had posted in regards to bugs and glitches in their geolocating system.
