Andrew - I have both of those videos. But I wouldn�t say that racing is huge here. In sweden, racing is very popular though, as i guess it is in many countries. But media always have belived that it is�nt noble enough. So we have a huge lack of motorsport in television.

I�d say that a big part of the motorsport in Sweden died with Ronny Petterson (Former great swedish F1 driver).

Kristoffer,
Have you seen the getaway in Stockholm vidoes? I've been to zatsy.com and it seems racing is huge in that city. I want to move there:-)

Tom - No females in the F50. Ill post the pics when I develop the film, didnt have a digital camera at hand. But it may take a week or two.

What I do have is a couple of pictures on two blond swedish girls driving a 348 ts. :-)

Terry I fully understand how you felt. I had the incredible luck to see a F50 in Stockholm today.
I could hardly believe my eyes!

I think that we only have one F50 in entire Sweden so I feel very very lucky at the moment.

Luckily I had a camera in my backpack so I was able to snap a couple of shots...

Bloody hell.....

That is very very lucky. Seeing Ferraris as rare as that, even at a Ferrari dealer is rare but out on the road......

I must be one of the luckiest guys in the world. I left work yesterday afternoon and as turned south on Tatum I looked in my rearview mirror and the two Vintage Ferraris were just behind me. They both waved as they passed me, because I have a scuderia shield on the back of my Isuzu. I followed them and took many pictures when they stopped. as I snapped away a Daytona spider pulled up then a 365 GTC, then a 500 Superfast then a 330 GTS and finally a 250 SWB in yellow. What a great day. If I figure out how to post pictures I will.

Phoenix, Arizona. We have the copperstate 1000 start here every year. It is a premeir Classic car rally usually littered with very special cars, but I have never seen anything this rare at the rally before.

Driving over to visit my parents, my daughter and I always play spot the Ferrari to pass time. She is only two but she has a pretty keen eye for this game. We come to an intersection where in a little run down circle K parking lot a 1949 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta and a 1954 Ferrari 250MM Vignale Spider are both gasing up. My jaw dropped and I was speechless and my daughter is screaming "THERES ONE DADA, THERES ONE!!!" We sat in the parking lot gazing at these beauties just waiting to hear them fire up. When they did, WOW!!! What a beautiful site and sound, I still have butterflies in my belly. And because I was in my wifes minivan I didn't have a camera with me. Just thought I would share.
