Woow Jens, that sure is quite some money.
And I thought a 3 day visit to Bonn would be expensive :-)

I haven't heared about the weather, but it's been so great this week I don't think it will hold much longer. Then again, it rained a few hours ago, so it might come to a good end after all.
At least I hope so :-)

Otherwise I need to wait until june to hear the 348 Tubi, ahh well it can be done :-) (with a little help from a 360 Tubi off course)

Bart,

Still don�t know whether I go or not! The whole event is very expensive. Still wondering if it�s worth to spent over 500 Euro for two days including hotel. What if it rains? Lot�s of money down the drain, I guess :-)

I don't know, i can only tell you that on sunday at noon Massa will drive the Stradale's and also an F1 demonstration, so i guess he will use at least the 2001, but hopefully the 2002

Don't worry Bart, you will see them on saterday aswell
normally they should be parked in the pitlane, and will they use them a couple of times as a pace-car, that's what they did last year with the 575MM

I'll be there with Roel and my dad on Saturday.

To bad we will miss the Stradale on sunday, instead we will go to a dutch championship kart race at Genk.

Too bad since I am not a member of ANY Ferrari Club! Guess I don�t like their "members only" attitude. That�s exactly the reason why I will never become a member of these clubs.
Well, sorry to say but then I won�t show up :-(
Hope you will have a nice meeting and good weather nevertheless.

When you click on his nick name you'll see his profile which includes his email adress, just send a email to him and I'm sure he'll arrange something nice :-)

With the new schedule I'm not sure if I will only visit the saturday, as I must see the Stradale driving around. Not sure yet what to do, need to arrange something with my dad and Roel.

Andrew, I'm sure Roel de Fouw (spawnz) will join aswell, aswell as Joren (he posted in the 1st European Fchat meeting post he would also be at Spa).

The Spa website posted a new schedule
http://www.spa-francorchamps.be/en/calendar/fertim.htm
they are driving at noon, so i guess that Massa will drive an F1 and the challenge

Also changed at this schedule is that the Toyota Team F1 shakedown on friday isn't mentioned anymore

Bart and Andrew,

I'll have to stay on the "Pending" list for another week or two - if I finish some work in time we want to go away that week for our first holiday of the year, which is long overdue! Will let you know either way by mid-April.

Have a good weekend,

Looking forward to meet you all at cosy Spa!

Guy
it was posted today on the Ferrari Media Center
but they don't mention timing of Massa's drive and also a parade of F1 owners in their cars
But if you look at the Timetable for Spa, then i'm not sure when they will do this, Massa will be most likely there on sunday, so they might drop one of the free sessions for the clubs.

I'm also wondering wich Stradale they will bring, i doubt that they will have both versions

Hope to see you there and your nice Alfa Spider!
My current car isn't Italian as you may have read.
But my former car was a Coup� Fiat Turbo, which i really miss sometimes for the looks and character!

So, see you all at Spa, i'll keep posted!

But I guess that I am going to miss this one because I still have to send in the form.

Also more reading then replying, but to bad I didn't read about the trip last sunday :-(
Well better luck next time.

On the 12th of April I'll be going to a Ferrari Club Nederland meeting. It's going to be a ride trough the Netherlands, around 50 Ferrari's (classic and modern). I'm going to watch the cars at the starting point, taking pictures, trying to talk to some owners. Maybe I'll follow the line some km but I have to get back on time (stupid work :-()
Maybe you can come aswell ? I don't know if you can join the "line" since your not a member (but neither am I :-)).
I got the info of Edvar van Daalen, also here on Fchat. If interested I could send you the schedule

I assume that Bart (Bel) is going. Why would he otherwise book a hotel?

In any case I will just hop over for one afternoon due to work so I won�t stay several days.

I'll sleep in my parents camper.

Is there any additional info I should be aware of before visiting Spa ?

I'm going to try and find a hotel just outside Liege. Those that want a room, sent me a e-mail, i want to book everything by the end of next week.

Yeah, i'll ask the BMW salesman if i can test the Z4 on my own for a little longer than normal!!
If i drive fast enough, he maybe never notices a thing :-)!! Except for the milage and the insects on the front, but by that time i will be miles away in my S!! :-)

No no, i don't think i will come to spa, i'm going out in a moment (Dancing Reflex) and i will be back in the morning to see those red cars win the malasian grand prix!! Then i'll have some sleep and in the afternoon i'll trash (maybe crash!) that Z4!!

You just let me know!

Hey Bart,

The timing looks nice, but to bad there won't be any Ferrari F1 session! I think 2 years ago there was, and it was awesome!
Instead i see that we get the Toyota's on fridayevening!

When were you planning on leaving, still friday evening? You allready booked the hotel?


BTW is the tubi installed yet?
If so, how is the sound? This is probably a very stupid question!!

See, hear you later and have a nice weekend with lots of F-driving!
(If you don't know what to do, you may always call me to have a drink or so! Then i can see your awesome 360 again :-) )

Bart,

Thanks for asking in advance! A very nice 360 you got there! I really love the argento nürburgring colour for the Modena. Think it�s the best looking colour for that car (Just personal taste of course!)
An interior in blue or red looks perfect with the silver exterior IMO
What�s yours?


Con saluti cordialissimi,
Jens Haller



P.S. Hope you have chosen the manual transmission instead of the F1...

Bart,

I'm coming also, but i don't think i can make it on friday evening! A friend of mine gives a birthday-party which i can't miss actually!
(Are you still leaving on friday evening?)
Saturday and sunday i'll be there for sure!
if i can find someone to go with me, i'll also overnight in the hotel! Otherwise i'll be driving twice! It's not that far from Mol!

BTW everything ok with the 360? Any news about the tubi yet?

I thought about that sports-exhaust you had at home for my S2000, but i don't think i'm gonna buy it. It's cheap but i'm actually happy with the sound right now, it doesn't have to sound like an F-car you know, it's just a honda!
BTW that's another 1000 EUROS saved for my next car! What would that be?:-) You may guess 1 time!

See you guys later,

CIAO...

Jens,

I understood from Helmuth that Franchorchamps stated that there will be "free" laps for the owners of Ferrari's and Maserati's.

Sounds like a must go!

Ton,

Actually I will try to attend for at least one day if it is possible to drive for a reasonable track fee!
It�s just around the corner for me and it�s hard to say "No" to Spa :-)

Helmut,

Will definitely be up for the meeting! Liked it last year in Spa so looking forward to do some laps at the Grand Prix track of the Nürburgring this year.
BTW: Would definitely be a shame to miss it since I am living around the corner in Bonn!

Why not meeting us during the Ferrari Track Days on the Nürburgring, July 23+24 together with Jacky Ickx, about 20 Ferrari Formula-1 cars and some really outstanding classic & modern Ferraris?
I think about a third day: Friday the 25th of July
and a small one-day rallye.

Amar,

From what Garage Francorchamps told me we could use the track on Sunday(Ferrari Days). But i think we have to verify that.

The track will not be free on Saturday because the Club Fiorano of Ferrari UK has reserved the track for a private club day.

Spa Ferrari Days has indeed been cancelled unfortunately - what a shame. So we'll have to organise another weekend to meet up there, though with the cancellation I wonder if that April weekend will now be free for track use! Bart or Ton, could you find out?

I don't know if this is correct or not but the UK Ferrari Owners Club has just posted a message in it's 'Members Only' area saying that Spa Ferrari Days has been cancelled. The message says:

"We have just been informed that the entire Spa Ferrari Days meeting scheduled for 26/27 April has been cancelled due to sponsorship problems; this of course means the PMFC double-header is cancelled as well. It is hoped to re-schedule the PMFC races for the weekend 23/24 August, also at Spa, but we await confirmation and will let you know as soon as we can."

It's to bad you can only drive a F-car at the Ferrari days, i would sure like to try the 'S' on the best track in the world!
I guess i have to work a little harder so i can buy myself also a nice Ferrari!
Buying one isn't gonna be so difficult, maintaining and insure it, that's what keeps me off for some more years!
Last year i asked my insurance-company how much it would cost me for a 355 spider, they thought i was kidding!! The price was very high, i can asure you! It was mainly because i was to young (24 than, now 25!)!
I never had any accidents or not even a speeding ticket (which is pretty amazing i must admit!)

So i think i have to park my car outside the circuit, at the visitors-parking!!

But to sheer me up, maybe you guys can take for a round around the track? Bart, Ton (if you found a good 328!)?

Anyway, i will let you know very shortly (i hope!), wether i come for the whole weekend or not!

See, hear you guys later,
CIAO..

Yes, I agree that I will most probably make it to the F-days in a F-car!

Looking forward to it!

Bart,

I found the 328 in a small town in Germany. It is an '89 rosso corsa with nero leather. It is owned by the local pharmacist who treated the car very nicely and drove it regularly (48000 km). Although the car looks very nice I try to keep my head cool and wait for the results of the PPI.

I will let you know.

Sounds like a great plan for the Ferrari days. I will give you the definitive "yes" after the purchase of the car. Will medio march be "in time" for the hotel?

That sounds good indeed! Will definitely know whether I can attend or not till end of february most probably sooner!
Free driving at Spa is always something I wouldn�t want to miss.

Ton,

I've been at Francorchamps and we could get the tickets there. Saturday free drive on the track (no race) friday Fiorino Club.
I could arrange the hotel, dinner and some scenic drive (from friday untill Sunday)
Should know who's coming latest mid march.

Where did you find the 328 ?

Bart,

Make me a provisional yes too! I found a nice 328 that will have a PPI next friday. If I have the car I will come.
Could you give me some more information (about tickets/facilities, etc)
Do you want to organise a meeting?

Bart,

Really can�t say yet because of heaps of work. If my car is running again till then and there might be a possibility to do some laps at the track I would love to attend for one day.
There is a website of this event, isn�t it? At least last year there was one. Would like to take a look at the programm.
For which car have you decided? Anyway the 360 is a great car in every colour and version IMO.


Con saluti cordialissimi,
Jens Haller



P.S. This means I am taking part if I can!
