Default Ferrari Club Switzerland meeting: 60 Ferraris - 184 pics

Guys, after 2 days editing pics, and a couple of hours now uploading and writing the pages, I am fed up with this PC monitor and for once I won't type too much

Just a little background: it was a meeting of the Ferrari Club Switzerland (only official club in our country), but basically not a national meeting, just a regional one. In the end, more cars from other parts of the country popped up, but Iam trying to figure out how huge a national get together would be.

This weekend the cars were 60 :shock: anything from a 250GT SWB up to recent models passing through Mondial, 308, 328, 348 (a Challenge too), 355, 360, 360CS, 512BB, 512TR, Testarossa, 456GT, 612, 430, 550, 575 (included the matte black one), F50, Enzo

On the website you will find 184 pics! That's the biggest update ever for scs.com! Most pics were taken on a little mountain not far from here, 1500 meters over the sea, a pretty cold day, the result was amazing! Almost nobody around, so pretty easy to take proper pics! A dream come true!

Then the cars came down in Lausanne, the police had to help them to reach the parking because a 60 Ferrari convoy is something a normal town can't simply withstand!

This was Saturday. Then Sunday morning they went again up the mountain to a luxury hotel (very nice place BTW) and a little cocktail.. not easy to take pics, pretty cramped, but again, nobody around!

It was amazing! the cars just gorgeous, the weather not perfect but the lack of other curious ppl made it a perfect occasion not to miss!

Here are some previews, click them to reach the 184 high-res pics update

Sadly it was impossible to take a pic with all the cars.. the Enzo and another 10 or so are just to the right in this one

Awesome shots as usual

Yeh too bad indeed! I was hoping for a couple of F40, but maybe the bad weather kept them inside. And if with 250 you mean 250 GTO, well, to see them at such meeting (with also some driving around included), is just like seeing a flying Enzo

Well, I will check with a friend of mine knowing everything about the Ferraris in this country, but basically as for any other rare car, it is safe to say there at least one around here.

You're such a lucky guy !!!!

I would be very happy if I could see half of the Ferraris

The pics are perfect as usual 8) I like the detail of the colors on the front lights. Is it normal or you made it on the computer ??

IMO That's probably the worst looking color for an Enzo. But, who cares about the color anyway ? That's an Enzo

Great pics of my favourite Ferrari, the 360CS

And the matte black 575 was there too

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I think I will send the first picture to the president of the Perth Ferrari Club and show him what a real Ferrari meeting looks like.

Simply stunning pictures again, a beautiful location and as you said not many people around. Why was there no one there - was it a 'secret' meeting again?

There is way too many cars to comment on, but for me the best of them are the blue F430 , the 348 Challenge, black Testarossa and obviously the two supercars!

Thanks a million - I have saved nearly all of them.

I'm pretty sure thats the effect of the polarizing filter he uses.

Excellent pics as always TT! I definitely envy your opportunities to see these great cars. The matte black 575 is always a treat, and the black F430 must've been stunning as well. Thanks for sharing with us
