Hey everyone i just got my pictures up from the Festa di Ferrari of Stamford. It was a great event and although the weather wasnt great there was still around 35 cars. It was the first year this event has taken place and was a great way to start an annual event. The cars ranged from F430s to a 500 Superfast. Now there are 2 500 Super Fast's i know of in Connecticut.

Thanks, just started browsing them, will comment later

BTW, something I can barely stand anymore: while I think it's cool for american events to have italian names when it's about italian cars, sometimes they just make up names which make no sense in italian. You would never say "Festa di Ferrari"... If it's "Ferrari Party", then it simply translate in "Festa Ferrari"

Oh well, we saw so many messed up english names around here

Ok, thanks for the pictures, I appreciate the bigger format! Too ba for the shitty weather, but at least you avoided bad sun glares. Sadly because of the poor light some of the moving pics are a bit blurry, but not a problem. BTW, just curious, do you sharpen your pictures after resizing them?

Back on topic, that 500 Superfast is sex on wheels! In dark colors it's just perfect! And as far as vintage cars go, the 330 GTC is nice too!
What about the Daytona Spider? Conversion I suppose.
Nice plate on one of the 348: "sogno" means "dream"

I like the 355 lineup too, but those damn signs ruin it! Comon, it's a 355, not something rare that ppl won't identify without such help

Thanks TT!! I usually enhance my pictures after i resize but never sharpen. truthfully i dont know how

The 500 Superfast is owned by Peter Sachs, the owner of the giant stock company i believe. I agree with the signs in front of the cars....kind of interfered with the pictures. Its great having 2 500 Superfasts in my state and go figure they are both celeb. owned. The picture with the tire mark in the grass and F430 in the background is what it looks like. Wet grass+powerful car= spinning tires

he was gonna have someone bring his Enzo but the airbag light was going off so they didnt bother. Im pretty sure the Daytona Spider was original. As far as i know there are 4 Daytona Spiders in Connecticut 2 black, 1 yellow, 1 red. im sure there are more down in Greenwich.

Some really amazing pictures! :shock:
Thanks for sharing all of them!

Awesome collection of cars there, some real stunners!!

I love the 355CH's, and yellow looks great on the F430.

Also that 308 GTS in Rosso Cordoba is amazing, as far as I know only 6 308's came in this colour from the factory. :shock:

If Speedracer has a pic of the interior I can tell you, that shot doesn't quite reveal enough.

Speedracer38 · 10-17-2005, 05:11 AM

i dont have a picture of the interior but he said it better not rain because he doesnt have a top

Pehtren · 10-17-2005, 08:44 AM

nice cars and nice photos

my favourite the yellow f430 is on my desktop, too bad the ferrari is so small

tx for pics

Wutputt · 10-17-2005, 12:01 PM

Great pics! I especially like the detailed ones and the panning shot of the rear of the yellow F430. That 500 SuperFast is one true beauty, and a really rare sight.

Most Daytona Spiders are replicas or conversions due to the fact Ferrari only made a few real ones. If you've taken a pic from the interior you can tell it pretty much for sure: a normal Daytona has 4 switches on the central console, where as a Spider only has 3 of them (it doesn't has heating for the rear windshield

)

edit: Ozzie power was much faster than me concerning the Daytona Spider

Beautiful color(dark red) on that Modena

and third last pic(front shot 430 moving pic) is state of art one! Thanx

raphaelws · 10-17-2005, 03:14 PM

That F550 is just perfect!! thanks 8)

sl55kleemann · 10-17-2005, 05:17 PM

Yep thats what I was looking for, as its the easiest way to tell.....but that pic cuts out just below the upper levers.

They produced 122 Spyders from the factory, and 96 of those were US-spec......so it could well be possible its a real one.

You should be used to that by now!

bmagni · 10-17-2005, 11:25 PM

racer_f50 · 10-17-2005, 11:42 PM
