Oh MY! An e-mail from the Ferrari dealership!
 
Ok guys, this is too much not to share LOL!

Some of you already know about the yellow Enzo and F50:
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=247172#247172
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=241970#241970

Well, when I took the pics of F50 and Enzo they asked me to send them some pics... so I did :D "you never know" as they say..

well, today I already get an answer from the director of the Garages (both Sion and Lausanne's).. thanking me a lot for the pics, asking me if I can produce more so we could put them on a CD (no idea why, I don't really care LOL).. and in exchange for that, the words he used are:

et en
contre partie je vous organise un essai d'une belle Ferrari.


And in english it would be something like
and in exchange, I will organize a testdrive of a nice Ferrari

Do I need to tell you all I am completely speechless?!?!?

I love to take pics, I really love.. so it's no effort really.. and to send 7 to them was not a difficult task.. and to send all the others will be quite easy.. a CD costs how much? 50 cents.. and in exchange I will drive a fucking Ferrari?!?!?!? Yes I need to tell you: "I AM SPEECHLESS".

He gave me his mobile phone number and I suppose I will call him this Monday even if I barely dare to do something like taking the wheel of a ferrari, even just a Mondial :D

RC45 09-11-2004 10:00 AM

I always told you someone was going to notice you auto photography talent :)

I will now be able to proudly tell my daughetr that the famous auto photographer TT (because you will be apperaing on TV, in magazines and in your own special DVD soon ;)) is the one and same JabbasWorld TT :) :lol:

No.1 09-11-2004 10:01 AM

WOW. :shock: :shock:

I'm glad those guys appreciate your photographic skills as much as we do.

Your drive in a Ferrari is the ultimate, as i guess it is something many of us will fail to achieve. Whatever model it is, TT, have a blast, and remember it 8)

gis 09-11-2004 10:02 AM

Because they make their own luck :P :)

SPEED_DEMON82 09-11-2004 10:46 AM

Well what can i say.
First, you get to spot all those amazing cars everyday that you used to show pics of to us. (Always used to envy you for that :D )
Then, you start your own automotive website. And now look what, you get to drive a Ferrari. Its a Ferrari Maaan!!
Looks like JW and SCS.com has brought you some real good luck.
We want a drive story from you TT pal and some high res pics too as usual.

Stikz 09-11-2004 10:49 AM

Congratulations TT. Guess all your work paid off. Like RC suggested, you'll probably be able to parlay this into some other cool, interesting opportunities.

TT 09-11-2004 10:53 AM

And to think if I take all my pics it is mostly because I love to show and share them with you all ;) I sure love to keep them for myself for the future too, but I doubt I would be so active if it was for me only :D So basically thanks to JW I already had a ride as a passenger in an Enzo (and that's already enough for a couple of lifes), I now took pics of yellow F50 and Enzo together (quite rare) and thanks to that I will DRIVE a Ferrari! I can't really complain!
Right after posting the topic I had to go out for a quick spin to try to shake away the excitment, I drove liek 15 min and I saw a 328 and a 512TR.. I call this "persecution" :D

No shit, I'm really so happy, I would like things like this could happen to more of us! Sure if everybody could drive a Ferrari, probably the whole Ferrari experience-cult wouldn't be the same, but still, we are a bunch of car nuts and I almost feel guilty to be (lately) so lucky!

HAHAH, you never know, but I doubt :D and why should ppl listen to somebody called TT :D I mean, Jeremy Clarkson isn't maybe the coolest name on earth, but it is a name at least :D

Anyway now I will try to relax untill monday and let's see what he will tell me :D I would be mor than glad to follow them on their ferrari meetings to take some more pics :D

Ghostbat 09-11-2004 10:59 AM

Congrats TT! I demand a detailed report from the upcoming Ferrari experience :D

Fleischmann 09-11-2004 11:05 AM

:shock: :shock: :shock:

suqish76 09-11-2004 11:18 AM

well first you go for a ride in an enzo,
then you get to test drive a ferrari,
so you know what is next TT
your very own ferrari to park next to jabbas 355
8)

Wutputt 09-11-2004 11:50 AM

Lucky you!!!
Well have fun testdriving it. And don't forget to post your experience overhere ;)


This gives me an idea: Why don't we all go a Ferrari dealership to take some pictures of those beauties? Maybe we are also given a test drive. Who knows... :D

stradale 09-11-2004 11:53 AM

Goddamnit, TT!!!! :D That is sooooo good... :shock:

Real nice of the dealer to reward you in this manner. I think I'm almost as excited as you must be! LOL

coombsie66 09-11-2004 12:07 PM

What an oppertunity!!!! Thats amazing! You deserve all the luck you get TT, they are indeed awsome pictures. :D Now dont stuff it :wink:

TT 09-11-2004 12:10 PM

LOL I really hope not to mess up while driving a Ferrari :D especially since it won't be on track with plenty of space but in town, with plenty of idtios taking pics at you... ok no that was a joke, I am probably the only idiot always taking pics of cars :D

BTW, I'm really strange I guess :D I'm here, so terribly excited and instead of thinking where to go to stretch some Ferrari's legs, I'm trying to figure out where to stop for some quick pics LMAO :D

jorge 09-11-2004 12:12 PM

Good for you TT, great oportunity! :)

schnell318 09-11-2004 12:14 PM

Wow, that is soooo cool TT!! Nice to hear that your gettin another "reward" for all your hard work...hope you get some good news on monday :D :D

Congrats!!

I guess if you went on a date with a pornstar you would be trying to take nice pics, not trying to fuck her brains out :roll: :wink:

HAHAHHAA, definitely wrong :D

Thank goodness :P

I suppose the photos will be as much a thrill as driving the car, and it's great that we will be able to share your experience through photographs too 8)

draak666 09-11-2004 12:56 PM

TT, in the end, won't you get bored of getting offered all those Ferrari rides? :D

Minacious 09-11-2004 12:59 PM

TT, you lucky son of a gun. Have fun taking all the shots you want, just don't forget to let the Ferrari stretch its legs just a little. :D

Well, I doubt :D but remeber there are a couple of Lambo dealerships pretty close to me just in case :P

Darkel 09-11-2004 01:10 PM

Director "tell me, what ferrari do you want to drive ?"
TT "Hmm, what about the 2 yellow cars there ? "
:D

possessed_beaver 09-11-2004 02:08 PM

you poor poor guy! :'(

jon_s 09-11-2004 02:55 PM

Nice one TT! :D

Enjoy your drive! 8)

nthfinity 09-11-2004 03:54 PM

great work TT!!!! :-D
its a great thing to love such autos, and have something to show for it (besides a few pictures sometimes )
i can harldy think of a Ferrari that wouldnt be an absolute thrill to drive... even around town.. . perhaps if you plot a pre-determined course, you will have the most fun?

666fast 09-11-2004 03:56 PM

Thats incredible TT! Congrats on the offer! I've always thought you were a good photographer, but who knew it would lead to the director of a Ferrari Dealer offering you a test drive in exchange for some pics? LOL

Congrats again TT, thats pretty awesome!

I only wonder what car keys will you get? LOL
Maybe the ones to that F50, or maybe a 355, or how about that F40? Either way, it'll be a Ferrari and thats awesome!

redbaron 09-11-2004 04:00 PM

Poor guy.... I think you won't sleep a couple of nights because of the excitement.

Have fun and take some nice pics, like you always do, so we could also enjoy your drive

dutchmasterflex 09-11-2004 04:41 PM

wow.. that is simply amazing TT... quite nice of Ferrari to help someone to make a dream come true..

HAHA, F50?!? LOL considering they are selling it for around 450'000 € I'm not really sure I want to be behind the steering wheel of that beauty you know? :D
My bet is it would be for sure something with paddles to avoid me abusing the clutch :D a Modena or 360 Spider then? Really no idea, and I don't really care, it would be the first Ferrari I would drive and it would be another great day I will never forget even if it would be the crappiest of the Mundials as I said ;)

I keep using "would" because you never know LOL :D

Chaos in 1983! 09-11-2004 04:53 PM

wow TT...you are so fucking lucky!...I wonder which Ferrari they'll let you drive...you HAVE to give us a detailed report...just like you did with the Enzo ride 8)

PATo355 09-11-2004 04:54 PM

Amazing TT , congratulations , those pics were really stunning , dont forget to update us with some pics :wink:

What about a Ferrari fork-lift truck :mrgreen:

TT 09-11-2004 05:11 PM

LOL or one of those little replicas for little childs!!

Darkel 09-11-2004 05:18 PM

LOL, hope they will call you when they'll receive the first 430

TT 09-11-2004 05:20 PM

Oh well as you may guess I will be lurking in the shadows anyway when it will happen ;)

Kiran 09-11-2004 05:47 PM

Holy crap dude. Why the fuck do things like that happen to you :P

I'm even more yealous now then I would be if my best friend would date my ex :D (well or something like that :roll: )

I really hope you'll be able to drive a 430. Imagine that ... anyway, even a 308 or something like that would be cool!!

Anyway, enjoy the ride and thx for sharing everything with us!!

Yes I really hope it is soon because I can barely wait!! :D I won't care if it won't be the latest of the latest models :D of course I wouldn't mind a nice CS but it would surely be something more "common" :D
