Hi all. I live in Las Vegas. After moving here recently, I purchased my 2nd Ferrari in Tucson, AZ. Had a great ride back to Sin City. Spent many miles in the desert at well over 100mph.
Of course I wanted to find a place where any work could be performed. There are a few. Italy Service has been in business for over 25 years specializing in Italian machines. When I first went there, the crew was professional, polite and they were taking out the engines of a testarossa and a carbed 308. They seem to know there stuff. They also had a F355 in for routine maintenance.
The owner of the Bellagio hotel is currently building another 5 star "fleebag" that will house a new Ferrari/Maserati dealership!
There are alot of Ferrari owners in town, as well as other makes. LV is still the nations fastest growing city w/ alot of folks w/ $$$
The news I heard is that the FOC is even considering a LV region!
Not more than a few days go by and I'll see another Ferrari driver. I saw this really crazy guy in an all original verde pino metallic 308 GTS, w/ a nicely modified engine. Oh wait, that was me...
Saw a Lambo Murcielago a few weeks ago. I actually heard it before I saw it. There's great cars out here, many roads to drive them on, and at anytime of the year.
All the best |

No, haven't seen it in person. No, I don't think it appeals to me in many ways that the 360 does. Yes, I might really rather have a 575, assuming I could do anything at all. But, 500HP is always an interesting consideration. Wish there was more info out on the next iteration of the 360. |

I know a person in your neck of the woods who has his Murcielago sent down to Stanford European in Palo Alto, CA on a flat-bed. |

Spent the weekend in Sin City, which is my old home town. Cruised down the strip once, and saw the typical assortment of exotics for rent. However, up in the west end of town (Summerlin) I saw two privately owned cars, one a yellow 355 spyder, the other a red 360F1 spider. Spoke briefly with the 360 owner, but I had a thought. What do folks do who live in areas far from Ferrari dealers for service/warranty/et.al. I know the SoCal dealers are only 4-5 hours a way, but that two way trip is a lot a milage depreciation, or a long way to send a car on a flatbed, especially if it is one of those problems that requires several fix attempts.
My reason for being curious is I am tempted by the new Giallardo, but there is no Lambo dealer in the Pacific NW. To bad Audi dealerships can't be set up to service them.
Just random thoughts... |
