Its finally happened for me – I got a ride in a Ferrari this morning. It was ‘only’ a 328 GTS but you have to start somewhere and in any case it was something special for me.
To cut a long story short the owner and I had a discussion (online) about his car a few days ago and then coincidently met each other at the Ferrari dealer (both checking out the F430).
So I asked to take some pics of his car in the parking lot and he said he’d move it into the shade for me, and then he said we might as well go around the block if he’s already starting it!!! A really nice guy, and seems very keen to share his car with others.
So off we went, and I have to say for a ~20 year old car it still goes pretty well (around 6sec for 0-100), and the handling in the corners he sped through was also impressive. Being an open-top also made the experience nicer, since the V8 was all the much better to hear.
Here are a few pics I took of it (hopefully more to come in a ‘photoshoot’ at a later date):
BTW, these are also the first photos taken with my new polarizer filter – but I have to admit I forgot to adjust it on some pics (beginners mistake)
a few from on the road - more to prove it happened (since the pics are pretty crap )
Then the reason I actually went there, to finally see a F430 in the metal. What a stunning machine, not much to say that hasn’t already been. As you can see if was pretty well cramped in so not that many good angles to get pics from…
How's this for some close parking (the 512TR and a 3200GT)? :shock: Luckily he moved the TR forward so it made taking pics easier.
512TR – another beautiful car!!! The guy with the 328 was drooling over it – lets hope he ends up buying it.
and a Bentley Continental GT – with bling bling rims.
Finally - a ride in a Ferrari!!! (+ F430, 512TR)
