Trip to collect the F355 and brief visit to Ferrari UK
 
Nothing compared to what our great TT is about to upload but at least the weather was quite nice for the trip. Nice encounter with a hummer... notice the reflection of the Diablo in its paintwork...when we were parked next to it there was hardly any room left for other cars at the junction.

very nice your car sticks out in every picture you can see it in. Gotta love it.

TT 08-06-2004 01:15 PM

GREAT pics!! The one with your babie parked with two Modenas in the background is to die for!!

The "race" with the Hummer should have been close :P

bmagni 08-06-2004 01:33 PM

cool !!!
the blue CS is great !!!!!!!!!

gis 08-06-2004 01:48 PM

very nice pics jabba,your diablo lookin awesome.that blue CS is really nice,that blue is a great colour for it.

Daggernite 08-06-2004 01:58 PM

Yup very nice pics! I like the blue CS too, I also have a thing for the Dino, there old but I think they got style. 8)

adamwich 08-06-2004 02:17 PM

VERY nice pictures. I think your lamborghini is so cool.

yg60m 08-06-2004 02:23 PM

Very nice trip and pics :D Are you tempted by the 360 Spider ? :wink:

Chaos in 1983! 08-06-2004 02:24 PM

Very nice pics Jabba....I'm sure the dude in the Hummer felt pretty important..."a guy ina Diablo taking pics of my H2!"...should've been the other way around hahaha

oh and that 360CS is to die for...lovely!

You probably made the owner very prowd, he will be talking about it saying stuff like "YEAH MY CAR IS SO COOL, EVEN DIABLO OWNERS TAKES PICS OF IT" and we really dont need to encourage people to buy more of those boxes..... :wink:

other than that the Diablo looks bad ass with those 360`s in the background, I feel sorry for that sexy little Dino all crumped in there....... :(

do you know the prize on that Ferrari bike?


Edit: chaos beat me to it.....

Yes I understand what you are saying...my sister in particular doesn't understand the need for pictures of say a car that I have anyway...but I think as TT says...you can never have enough pictures of any car....I know I had to make myself look like an idiot to get the hummer picture...but it was just such a rare opportunity...I couldn't help it...and I was doing it all for JW of course.

T-Bird 08-06-2004 02:52 PM

the Ferrari bikes are like $2500 usd without the stand and like $500 for the stand.
atleast that's what the dealer told me he might have been wrong.

budagboy2 08-06-2004 02:57 PM

niceee, was your 355 just done being serviced?
T-bird i think those bikes are made out of carbon fiber that why they are so much

T-Bird 08-06-2004 03:09 PM

they are made of CF I wasn't saying they were too expensive for what they are, they are hand painted and assembled and the suspension is really cool, the wheels are pretty sweet too. The one I saw was red.
My Cousin does triathlons and bike races her bike was like $3500 so the Ferrari is a bargain.

jpatino03 08-06-2004 03:12 PM

wow...what a nice little collection of ferraris, as good as some of the dealers in Los Angeles. Jabba, I never noticed this about the Diablo roadster, but does the roof stow above the engine when not in use? That's quite an elegant solution if that's the case.

Even though the 360 isn't as good to look at as the 355, IMO its still Stunning form the rear 3/4. Great pictures!

oscargarza88 08-06-2004 03:45 PM

great pics, well actually i wnted to see more of ur car, i just cant get enoough of it, i wish i could c it some time but i dot think anytime soon..., as far as i know u havent posted like any wallpaper pics of just the lambo like in a creative pic or something, that would defenetly stay in my BG for a long time. :)
as far as the ferraris thanks its always good to see ferraris pecially the 288 (i think) :)

Jabba 08-06-2004 05:00 PM

I thought I would see if the second Maranello garage had anything more interesting to offer us....amazingly it was even worse !

Dang, i just wanna know what the maranello garage's budgets on polish and polishers are!!! All those cars are sooooo shiny!!!!!
Diablo's looking pimping as usual, no CSL's there to tempt you unfortunately! :wink:
U have to go far to ferrari uk? Or are they in heartfordshire too?!?! One of my friends lives there, must make a trip up via the garages!!!!!!

TT 08-06-2004 05:11 PM

Dang it's pretty sad to see Ferrari garages in a big and relatively wealthy city as London with such small stock in their showrooms :( but still quite nice anyway :) Afterall even an M3 is a nice car hell!

Thanks for the new pics!

Jabba 08-06-2004 05:17 PM

I think it our economic climate...our banks have just put the interest rate up for the fifth time this year I think...and the dealers don't want to be caught with loads of stock that no one wants to spend money on buying.

Of course we can understand that, but it's also true that with less stock, potential buyers are less drawn into dealership just to take a look around...

Its around 7-8 grand :wink: I asked the price at the dealer 2 years ago and it was 11 000CAD

blah 08-06-2004 10:10 PM

To me it reminds me of some one going to pick up their kid from day camp.

BADMIHAI 08-06-2004 10:41 PM

Nice pics. No hi-res of the Diablo? I also noticed they only had one M3 there, and it wasn't a CSL. Are you still looking for a CSL?

sikx5 08-07-2004 12:55 AM

Awesome pics dude, nice to see the diablo so clean 8)
Hehehe i like the hummer, wonder what he was thinkin

dingo 08-07-2004 04:17 AM

Nice pics Jabba, if I ever buy a Ferrari I think it'll be that scooter or the bike. :D

saadie 08-07-2004 04:35 AM

nice pics jabba 8) 8)

BTW the guy in the H2 must be htinking " WTF a guy in a DIABLO is taking pics of a H2 " :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

blah 08-07-2004 04:58 AM

Or he must be thinking...Hell yea my Shits real Bling Bling...American Rap scene here i come. :roll:

Erez 08-07-2004 05:23 AM

great pics of the diablo :D
hope they will have a nicer stock next time you'll be there :wink:

tanelvali 08-07-2004 05:32 AM

I love the picture where your Lamborghini reflects from the side of the Hummer. :)

You being the expert at 'looking around' hey TT!! :wink: But with the digital cam in hand at all times!!
Maybee its your fault that they arnt keeping stock anymore!! :P :wink:

mindgam3 08-07-2004 12:20 PM

mmmmmmm blue cs ;)

topgeartom 08-07-2004 01:27 PM

Jabba, if youare looking for a CSL then check here every now and then:
http://www.motorhousecars.com

they had a CSL not that long ago, and they always have a porsche or two, or how about a Continental GT sir?

The garage is just 10 minutes walk away from where i live - it's always worth a quick glare inside whenever i go past on the bike.

Also "round my way" in sunny bradford is this place:

Hahaha , well the shape of the car made you look a little fat ... didnt noticed that till you said it

Jabba 08-07-2004 07:34 PM

Thank you...and how very diplomatic you were with the way you said it.

blah 08-07-2004 07:44 PM

are you wearing all black?

Jabba 08-07-2004 07:48 PM

Yep...sadly I had to leave my sword outside the showroom though...as they only allow unarmed ninjas to come inside.

cho_888 08-07-2004 08:25 PM

hahahaha, jabba you are being caught out lol, there is also aglance of you in you diablo mirror. lol reminds me of the photos of your house and i happened to spot your nice suit jacket.

rachaderua 08-08-2004 07:29 PM

awesome cars man =)

DjPtsatsot 08-09-2004 06:03 AM

ill pictures jabbas thanks! The CS is my fav... to bad that Hummer didnt have spinner's it wouldnt be complete otherwise... It's kinda sad to see the bling bling is hapenning over there too. :?

1zippo1 08-16-2004 01:27 PM

Very nice pics Jabba, The diablo looks from it's best from the side IMO!
It's a very different design to those ferrari's but no doubt it still stands out from the crowd. It's beauty & the beast into one!

A black Quattroporte is simply sublime IMO! I wonder how much they would ask for that bike. That way I could tell to my friends that I drive a 2004 Ferrari :P

Toronto 08-16-2004 03:15 PM

nice pics jabba, hope to see more soon :D

Nik^XeN 08-16-2004 03:57 PM

Nice pictures.. funny a guy in a Diablo makin photo of a Hummer :P
