Oh that would go over real big! :crazyeyes: I'd probably get stoned to death! :slap: Mags

I checked with my second oldest son a dozen times this week to make sure :-/ and he says he is absolutely sure he wants the F430. He'll probably pick it up Thursday or Friday.

We are going to sell his Corvette Z06 to the dealer in Cleveland that bought 6 of my other cars and then he'll hop in the F430. :wink:

Just had the Spider out when I went to my weight training session. Ay, caramba! :onfire: What a ride!

So would I! :drool: But right now they're getting at least $125K to $150K over MSRP!!! :shocked!: Talk about something being sick!

I am looking at trying to get one somehow but I'd like to be able to walk away with some clothes on my back after I'm done with the transaction! :scrambleup: Mags

Thank you mrmojo77, That was very kind of you! :clap: Magwheel

You sir, are a fortunate man and the decisions you make are yours to make. I enjoy reading your escapades and love the child-like excitement you display with each new acquisition and release.

WEEEELLLLL, I can't say I'm very surprised to see you sold 2 of your best cars ever... but mad? No.. not mad! :D

You haven't crashed them, haven't you?? :roll:

It seems the F430 really got your heart! Two, and a third one coming?! :shock:

Well, about the CGT and SLR not being very "daily usable" and you end up driving them once a month... I have the solution for that :!: :!:

By these means... I volunteer myself to give a little ride on a weakly basis on your cars (even the Toyotas) so they don't get rusty!! :lol: :lol:

You know.. if you have a "boring" task like that to do, just give me a call!!

But, one thing I don't understand... why don't you keep any of your "old" cars?
I think the older one I knew was the CGT, probably one of your favorites.
You get tired of them? Don't have space?

I just don't get it!! :lol:

I can't even imagine what it is to drive a CGT, so I can't even imagine what you think!

I thought you guys might like to see a pic of all three F430s together. So I lined them up the other day and here are the results. :lol: Magwheel

Thanks for the pics, very nice :P

Loved to hear again from you mags.

In my books F430s are supercars too, SLR being more of a GT and Well, I did like the CGT, there is just something in one for me kind of wanna-be supercarfreak.

Now that you enjoy your GT3RS; Porsche has recently leaked GT2 brochures, usability to the max with about the same OOOMPH as the CGT:
http://www.porscheguys.com/GT2.pdf

Strange that 599 is so high in price, looks like there is really frisky demand on them. Don´t know if you Mags ever owned F40 or 288GTO, you just might like one, at least depreciation should be next to nothing with those cars.

Anyways really loved to hear from you again, don´t forget us :)

nice mags, I like the way you handle your garage in an active way, though I wouldn't get rid of some cars ;) congrats and may you and your son enjoy the cars

So do you just shut your eyes and let divinity guide you to which one you're going to drive each day? Like a ouija board?

"Whatch you talkin about?" :x How did you know? :roflmao: Mags

what if you have a dream about a blue F430 .... :hmm:

I am a bit sad to see the CGT and SLR go, but well, I just adore the constant evolution in your garage and I hope you won't stop :)

Perhaps someone should edit those pictures of the F430's with a watermark, since other pictures were already stolen from this topic by other forums, and they put their watermarks on those :x

Hey TT, Good to hear from you. :D It's been a long time. Evolution or Revolution? Funny you should say that! I've got a 'little' surprise :shocked!: to make on Tuesday or Wednesday and it's just for you and Jabba! :roflmao: Mags

HaHa!

just incredible man!

How about a big teaser until the I make public the 'Surprise..... Surprise"!

1) It has 2 ways in and only 2 places to sit :?:

2) The power is in the front :hmm:

3) It has about 2444 types of shoes :crazyeyes:

4) It has paddles to play with :-/

5) Giddy-up! :onfire:

6) Mama Mia :drool:

7) If you input the right numbers on the graphic attachment below, you could get half or 1/3 of the name of the SURPRISE! (Depends on how you want to call it!) :wall:

Let's see how many JW members can guess the right answer. :prr: :P :roflmao: Mags

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1...atoruy4.th.jpg

Enzo ?

Veyron ?

Massarti ?

hell either way .. i love you....

599 GTB

Good guesses so far! :D BTW, I hope you're a outrageous looking female, :shocked!: 25-39 years old with a large rack :drool: so I can say "I love you" back, otherwise, "Thank you Sir for your fine, manly guess!" :roflmao: Mags

Good guess too! 8) Do you realize how hard those dang things are to get??? :wall: :faint: :( Mags

I can get you one, I just require a non refundable deposit of $500,000 :D

I'll keep playing your game:

997 GT2

Maserati 3200GT?

I won't even try to guess it :) I want the surprise :)

BTW mag, I know it probably doesn't pop your cherry, but what about "older" cars?

What fascinates me about them is that with few $$$ you can buy lot of cars :) and I think 1970-80-early 90 cars have such a charme. And usually you can buy and sell them without even loosing lot of money :)

BTW, Just because you guessed something and I haven't said yea or nay to your post, doesn't mean you have guessed wrong. :x You may be right... and not even know it! :slap: You'll notice I said good guesses to every post so far! I don't want to ruin the teaser and give out the results and besides, it's fun watching everyone take their shot..... uhhh at guessing..... not at me! :2gunfire: Mags

p.s. The surprise should be here sometime tomorrow unless a 'Terminator' gets involved somehow! :prr:

My guess would also be GT2, but i guess they are yet too hard to come by even for you Mags. Well maybe it is 996 gt2, that shouldn´t be too hard to get.

Well... the right numbers on the attachment are : 3-6-9

Soo...

It has someting like:

963
936
639
693
369
396

From these options... let me think

Porsche 936, the engine I believe is at the back, so... it can't be.

Buut, you say its an "old" car with paddles???
That makes me remember one car...

The Ferrari 355 F1 could be a guess, although it only uses one right number.. but it is mid-engined... maybe a Maseratti?

Well... final guess... Maserati 3200GT Cambiocorsa Spider

Just the 3-6-9 numbers aren't what I've expected.

Let's wait to see... :)

Well... it could be other thing different from a car, maybe an airplane or a boat!! :D

5 post in a row... what a spammer... :oops:

TT, I'm assuming you're talking about sports cars of some kind. I'd be a little concerned about maintenance upkeep, the ability of parts and the reliability. :?

In the past, I've played around with a 1963 Chevy 409, a 1964 Chevy 409, a 1970 Chevy Chevelle 396 and a 1970 455 Pontiac GTO. :wink:

Routine maintenance was OK but extended repair probably would have been a pain. They were still very exciting cars! :lol: Mags

cooperluke, Wait a minute.... hold your horses here! :bah: I certainly don't want to mislead anybody. I believe I said if you input (punch in) the right numbers, you'll have either 1/2 or 1/3 of the name of the surprise depending on the way you want to refer to it.

Focus on the '2444 types of shoes' and Giddy-up! What else wears shoes other than a human being? And when you say the phrase Giddy-up, what are you referring to? :?:

Heh..... heh...... heh! Can't sleep, work or play huh? :crazyeyes: You guys know this is driving you nuts. If all goes well today and tonight, tomorrow, I will release the surprise but only after I give you the answers to all the clues! :slap:

FWIW, The surprise is already purchased but it's arrival is what I waiting on. It may not even be an automobile! :prr: Yeah right!!! Mags

Well "giddy up".....sounds horsy to me....so i reckon its this.

A Ferrari Enzo OR AKA A Ferrari F60

Now i can type '60' on a calculator so that would be 1/3 of the name "Ferrari-F-60" or 1/2 the name "F-60".

Did i win??? :)

Yessss, And you can also type 355, 360, 430 and 640 (Lambo), all part of a car's name! :lol: They may also be right and may also be wrong! :x Keep guessing..... it's on the truck on it's way here. Disclosure tomorrow afternoon! Mags

p.s. You did hit on a clue hint.... just gotta take it a little farther! :roflmao:

you can type so much things there

8CC
M6
612

57 or S7 - as in Saleen

good golly, don't tell me you bought the Nero Black F50 that sold last Monday...

24 as in Z4 M Copue !! thats 1/3, FE and with paddles :D

Are you sure it is not 2448 types of shoes. If so I think I know the car. --> 612 Scaglietti

^ That would be my guess too

Nooooo.... I'll relieve you of that thought. :niet: Anyway, if I did buy an Enzo, it would be Red. Damn I love that car! :drool: Wish my Uncle Bill (as in Bill Gates) would lend me the money. I'd promise to pay him back in 20-25 years! :roflmao: Mags

Verrryyyyy good guess! :clap: You deciphered the one clue.... almost! BUT, I just checked another source again and according to the 2 different write-ups I read, it could be 2444 or 2480 types of shoes. :ninja:

Since you got the one hint almost right, I'll give you another one for FREE! Ain't I a nice guy? :slap:

The absolutely correct long version name of the surprise consists of a name, then 3 numbers, then three letters and then another name. So there is actually four parts to the name of my surprise to you guys (and girls - to be politically correct)! :prr: Mags

I hope I'm not driving any of you to drink! :drinking:

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

Here's my reasoning:
- Horses wear shoes. There are 4 shoes on a horse
- 2444 types of shoes = 611 horses (divide by 4)
= power output of the Fiorano

Its power is also quoted 620 cv - hence the 2480 shoes confusion


My bad. I mistakenly got 611 and thought we were talking about the model number 611 - hence I thought you made a mistake and should have put 612.

So what do I win.

Hope you got one of the darker colors - it looks fantastic in maroon or silverstone grey.

Are you right? Maybe you is and maybe you ain't! :D Pretty clever little devil, aren't you? :twisted: All that calculating and rationalizing. Lemme guess.... you're a college professor.... a mathematician.... a Texan who probably owns a couple hundred oil wells and just wants to make me look bad by hoping to make this teaser too easy!

What do you win if you're right? How about a few 8 1/2 x 11 Hi-Res photos of some of my cars (your choice) if you are right? :hmm: BUT..... remember, I didn't say you were right! :prr:

I just can't reveal the surprise until tomorrow when I'm finally able to rub my grubby little paws all over it. Plus, I have to send out a BIG THANK YOU :clap: to a certain someone who sent me a ton of leads via e-mail to try and help me find one of these things. Mags

p.s. You say the 599 looks good in the darker colors? :shocked!: Lemme guess again.... there's dozens of them running all around the Lone Star State! I thought those were harder to get a hold of than Chicken Teeth? :roflmao:

^^ :mrgreen:

I just remembered - Didn't you say that you were planning to buy a 355 this year? Giddyup man! Time's a wasting. You have only a couple driving months before the roads get winterized. ;)

So who are the current JWers with the prancing horse? Jabba, magwheel (times 3 soon to be times 4), and me. Anyone I missed?

Bobafett and that kid's whose dad owned an F50, Enzo, etc are no longer active on this site.

Better get a move on it. What color were you looking at? F1 or manual? From experience let em tell you, hunting for an Fcar is so much fun. I wish I could afford another one. C'mon mags adopt me. :)

F430 Scuderia would be a nice one too, BUT I guess the name we are going after is Fiorano 599 GTB.

Well anyways whatever the car, Mags is not letting us down, never has been, never will.. Congrats mate, again, for a good purchase.

According to JW car registry griffith has f355 and rex has f360 CS
