As always all the pics are clickable for high-res (1600x1200)

Sorry if the light was quite crap

luckily I took my tripod with me! At least they are not blurry!

Well I think we should start with the best one

the F40!

My first black Scaglietti.. not bad!

Dan's 550

575M in sexy red

512 BB

A 360 Spider that will be picked up by the new owner tomorrow

Even in grey, way sexier than the 360!

and the cheapest car they had

a nice Mondial for around 30'000 Swiss francs

3200GT with damn nice wheels in light smoke color

A nice Maserati Spider parked outside (new model)

On a side note, coming back home I saw a Porsche 997 Carrera S going back to the Porsche dealership! Sich view! it's gorgeous! It was black. Sadly I was at a red light and when I tried to find it, it was already hidden inside

anyway, pics or STFU!

Great photos TT

Another great day, TT

That grey 3200GT is beautiful

... but the rear of the F40 looks strange, where the hell is the ferrari horse ?

Nice photos there TT 8)

May i ask.... did the salespeople not mind you taking so many photos

A lot of the prestige garages i have been to have been rather uptight on taking photos :roll:

racer_f50 · 07-26-2004, 02:42 PM

were they holding the license plate to the back of theh 575M with electical tape? looks a bit ghetto-rigged onto the car

great pics though, TT, thanks for sharing them with us 8)

Wow! Did they leave you alone in the dealership again?

TT · 07-26-2004, 03:23 PM

Thanks SDK

for your thumb up

but the rear of the F40 looks strange, where the hell is the ferrari horse ?

Well apparently instead of the horse there is the plate emplacement

Well maybe the fact I know one of their mechanics helps, but they really don't mind I think.. even the first time, before I actually said I was a friend of his, they said it was ok

Today when I took out the tripod one of the had a bit of a "WTF face"

but no prob at all luckily

were they holding the license plate to the back of theh 575M with electical tape? looks a bit ghetto-rigged onto the car

HHA indeed, just a temp plate used to move the car from A to B

Wow! Did they leave you alone in the dealership again?

LOL nope, there were also a couple of customers today

or else I would have jumped into the F40, ala Dukes of Hazard, but head first

The F40 looks like it has a custom exhaust - I didnt know it had 3 pipes. The 612 looks best in dark colours - I saw in blue at the Houston Car show - it was pretty good in the flesh.

think i just wet my pants (again). You guys are real lucky to be able to see all these sweet cars up close. Here in toronto you see the occasional exotic, but only on weekends and only downtown. Unless you want to roam around Upper Canada College for a day or so.

The F40 does have three exhausts. Indeed, the one in this pic seems to have a modified exhaust, since in the stock one the middle pipe is not round.

GRAZIE!
Thanks a lot TT, I LOOVE the F40..so brutal so pure so racecar...what a difference between it and the Scaglietti. Ok totally different cars but the styling is much more delicate...
Of course I love the 575 but the 360...yes great car, beautiful....but the CS i much more beautiful...after the CS I don't like the 360 like before

TT - you know how weird the Swiss transportation laws are - they have had very bizarre rules over the years - for the longest time (maybe it is still so) 2 headlights on a motorcycle was not legal, so all the Swiss certified bikes from the mid 80's and early 90's had to be redesigned with a single headlight - and the very bizarre extra long rear mudguard on motorcycles - and the very strict license plate height and location rules etc.

Switzerland seems to be the most strict for odd rules like that, even more strange than some of the dumb stuff they passed as laws with regard to cars in the USA in the 80's.

Great pics TT.......I only wish our Ferrari dealer had so many different models. :cry:

u've inspired me to go to the lambo showroom down the road and take some pics, everytime i drive past i slow down so i can turn and have a look at the beautiful gallardo sitting there.

thanks for the pics
