GThomas (and other Torontonians), I recently saw the same chocolate cars in the downstairs mens department at the Bloor St. Holt Renfrew. This was several weeks ago, but they may still have them. |

I bought my wife a huge diamond ring. The next year she bought me 250 PF Coupe!
She has never wanted to drive my car. |

I ordered the Chocolate Ferrari 308 from Griots Garage - they sell it in their catalog during the holidays, it makes a great party gift. |

I was going to send this thread to my wife and say "See!?!?"...but after reading it all the way through, I don't like chocolate.
But in all honesty she supports me in everything...buys me windsurfing stuff all the time, bought me my P-car...I'll just have to keep working on her for a Ferrari.

This was about 2 years ago... but...
for the Torontonians among us the Bay (their main store downtown south of the Eaton centre) sold those downstairs in their confectionary section... pretty reasonable price ($20-25 if i remember correctly) for a rather nice reproduction... considering it was chocolate (: ... i remember they had a porsche 911 and a new Vette as well as a Stingray...
havent been down there in a while... so unfortunatly i cant say whether they are still there...

She ordered it off the internet off the west coast i think. It actually looks really good, lots of detail, about 1/43 size maybe a tad bigger.

Neat, John. Who made it? Or did your wife make it? I have a 308 chocolate mold that I bought on eBay, but I've never actually used it.
My wife has driven my 308 on both the street and the track, but prefers to leave it for me.

Since I have been looking to purchase my first
F-car, I have been driving my wife nuts with Ferrari talk, you know: Forza copies everywhere, ebay/internet pics, dragging her to strangers homes to look at there cars. Well this morning there is a knock on my office door and they informed me I had a delivery, so I go out into the lobby and there is a box for me marked "Perishable", so I open it up and there a shiny black CHOCOLATE 308 with a red ribbon !!!
Needless to say, It was a sweet jester, (sorry about the pun) I know wives vs. Ferraris have been on a numerous threads but, does anyone have a wife how actually ever DRIVES your F-cars ????
Mine basically says it's, "a guy thing". But I'm soo lucky that she is supportive of, my Ferrari Passion.
