The 512TR was me at West Village. Interesting valet pricing as they waived me up front and had me park in the prime spot. After I parked and got out the head of the valet walks over and says its $20 for the front spot when normally its $4. Thats fine but just tell me before hand in case I don't want the special treatment. | ||

Just a note on ECW. I was in there on Saturday while they were packing up and talked to Mike. He basically said that the location did not bring in the buyer traffic, and was not really worth the expense of having the showroom. He indicated he may be looking to North Dallas/Plano, but may decide not to go with a showroom since a large part of the business is off the web. He indicated he's still in business, so you can still contact him off the website if looking for a car. | ||

Raleigh, I've spent a total of $260 in maintenance costs (3 expensive oil changes) since it rolled off the enclosed transporter in Feb 1999, almost 4 years ago. The 15K service (including belts) was completed before I purchased it. I've spent $0.00 in repair costs. BTW, I bought it with 13K miles, it now has 18.5K miles on it. A couple of other things, I spent $90 on an Optima battery and replaced the original tires (10+ years old) with Goodyear Eagle F1s. I drive it hard and have fun with it but I do NOT beat the $hIt out of it. I don't care what anybody says, these are nothing more than expensive Fiats (ask Ed Gault). British sports cars are just like Fiats... and I've owned my share of British sports cars over the years. Take care of them and they will take care of you. Beat them and be prepared to pay. Just my opinion. I've talked about getting rid of it... but keep asking myself why??? So far, it's been as reliable as my Toyotas. I hope this isn't a jinx! | ||

I was hoping to talk with Mike first to do an official announcement, but ECW isn't gone. They let some of their staff go and they have asked some of the consignment car owners to pick them up. I believe without first talking with Mike, that he's a made a business decision that it might be more profitable not to be at that location and with a full staff. I'll update everyone when I get the official word, Mike is still a dealer and in business! His personal email is on the www.exoticcarworld.com site. | ||
| Rob Lay (Rob328gts)
Board Administrator Username: Rob328gts Post Number: 2632 Registered: 12-2000 |
The $2500 service should only be every 15k miles or 3-4 years. Ask BobD how much he's spent on his car in the past 3 years, you wouldn't believe it, unless he told you. | ||
| Raleigh Smith (288gto)
New member Username: 288gto Post Number: 6 Registered: 10-2002 |
Bob, Thanks for the advice. I have heard about people driving 328's with 180k miles on them and only paying the $2500 for service annually. I really am looking for the "Ferrari" sound as well as the rest of the package. I have never heard a 328 before so I can't say what it sounds like. I also was thinking about a 348 twin turbo challenge car. ECW had one a while back, but I don't know how reliable they are. I need to talk to Jonathan. By the way, if you don't know Exotic Car World is gone. One last question. Is a 355 a good car to drive everyday? I can't justify paying $80,000 for a car and not driving it. I know 355's have known exhaust problems and the F1's have some clutch issues. So, all opinions are welcome. | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
Member Username: Bobd Post Number: 724 Registered: 3-2001 |
Raleigh, here's the word on the street. Early 348s (prior to Spyder production) are said to be problem prone and very expensive to repair... lots of electronics compared to the 328/308. The 328 was the final derivative of the 308 series and Ferrari had 10+ years to work out all the bugs. 328s are often said to be the most reliable F-cars ever built. I can attest to that as I've had zero problems in nearly 4 years. Others haven't been so lucky. Although 348s have a more modern feel and more horses, there are a few people out there who do not like the 4/5th's TR look of it... many don't like the cheese graters. But if you've got a few extra bucks in your pocket to invest in a later model year or are willing to gamble a bit, then you should go for it... especially if you like the looks. One other thing to think about. Consider the last production year of the 328 and the first production year of the 348... 1989. Look at comparable condition examples, the 348 will cost you $5,000 less than the 328. Can you think of another transition year for Ferrari models where the newer car actually costs less? 308 to 328, no. 348 to 355, no. 355 to 360, no. 328 to 348, yes. I believe there's a reason for this. | ||

Ty, You are right about the F355, I was able to drive one this past summer and that cars sounds amazing! It was an unusual color combonation as well: White with Camel leather, it was very nice indeed! Raleigh, As for the 348 and the 328, I say drive them both, if you have not already and see which one you like better. It all comes down to which car makes you excited between the two. I want my first to be the 328 just because I like the overall lines and shape of the car and it handles very well-Thanks to BobD and JimE showing that to me! -Best regards, Marcus | ||

Marcus, The 360 is everything you expect a Ferrari to be. The exhaust is high pitched like a F1 car. Some people don't like it, but I thought it made the experience better. The ride was given to me by a friend. I am constantly looking for my first Ferrari. I love the 308 body, but after being in that 360 I think the 348 would be a better choice. The 348 sound if great, and for the money, is more in my price range. The two cars are like apples to oranges, but I am torn. Any suggestions would be gladley received. Jonathan from ECW has been telling me to get a 348 as a first Ferrari as well as a 328. Who's got an opinion? | ||

Well, met this guy yesterday and he gave me a ride in his Lambo, pretty sweet fast as hell (went to 100 in no time), but this particular Lamborghini was rough. The previous owner was Mike Tyson, I am sure that had something to do with it. Some jack ass in a mustang had tried to race him but got a nasty bite, it was quite funny actually. The 6.0 and the murcielago are much better in ride and performance, by what he told me. On the way to meet him, I saw the yellow Mucielago at Champs...I think god is punishing me by rubbing it in a little, the second time I have seen it in a week! R Smith, How was your ride? That is another car I would love to get a ride in-lucky dog! Hope you had fun!!! -I hope everyone has a great weekend, it looks like it is going to rain though. | ||

Today during lunch I saw a red 348 in the Albertson's parking lot northeast of Frankford and the Tollway. I couldn't tell if the conversation he was having with the two cops was friendly or not.  | ||

Coming east on 114 this morning a 996 and C5 came up on me so quick and I was going 80 mph. I pulled over and then they gunned it again. The 996 had about 8 car lengths when they got on it again, but within quarter mile the C5 was just a few yards off the 996's bumper. Pretty dang unsafe in morning rush hour, but I imagine what happened was the Porsche owner had the C5 messing with it and it never thought a car worth half as much could hang with it, much less eat it for breakfast. | ||

Friday after work I went down to Greg's office to pick him up for a happy hour. He goes "hey Rob, would you mind helping me put my spoiler back on the Viper." We went up to the parking garage and there she was... oh my! Bella bella bella. Without a doubt I think the Testarossa is one of the most beautiful and recognizable Ferraris ever. It has such a presence that transcends being just an automobile into art and other areas that can't be described except for the emotional effect that overwhelms you. It is such a great car. It's a 1988 red/tan in great condition. The paint, body, engine bay, and everything are really in concours condition. Only minor flaws are typical worn seat bolster, scratched front ground spoiler, small 2 inch crack on windshield, and dash cover coming up a little. I think it's really a 99.9% perfect Ferrari. | ||

Regarding the post-race BURN-OUT escapade, I knew there were a couple non-Ferrari owners there and I hate showing off the brute power of the 328... so I exited the building in a quiet, polite manner with a small toot of the horn. Now, when everyone was out of sight, I turned right onto the Stemmons service road and smoked a triple donut before doing a 4 wheel slide entering the I-35E entrance ramp. Once on the expressway, I drove 55 all the way home. | ||

20 ft skids? Sorry, my foot slipped off the clutch...and landed on the gas. I couldn't resist, the open garage was just too tempting. After I boxed Jim in between a semi and a slow poke, some joker in a Camaro wanted to play. He was riding my bumper like a license plate. I hit the exit ramp off 35 to 190 at about 90mph to leave him behind only to have him roar past me once the road straightened out again. Why is it any time you see a Camaro, Corvette or Mustang on the highway they feel the need to mess w/ you? | ||

OK guys, while it's not a Ferrari I did see a Red Pantera parked in the lot across from the Dallas Morning Newspaper place on Plano Parkway near Coit. I guess I just gave away that I'm in town (but I'm leaving in the morning). The only other Ferrari I saw during my stay is a black 355 spyder and well that was outside at FOD (guess that doesn't count for much). I pass FOD alot returning to Plano. Wishing all the DFW-FC'ers well. -Ben | ||

Actually, I wondered if it was you. Looked like driver was dark haired guy and I think there was a passenger.....however, this fella was for sure heading West towards I-35. Thought he might be going to the ECW, but it was 3pm...too late. | ||

Her excuse for driving "nervous" was that the inspection sticker has expired and I hadn't given her the new proof of insurance for the last half of the year. Funny, but she always drives nervous in the Ferrari and usually the paperwork is there. We'll see what her excuse is next time. Sometimes her excuse is just because I'm with her, but that she usually drives ok without me. Ha, now I have proof she always drives like that. Keep up the spying guys! 1,400 users around the world and I will know everything. Dang, I guess that can back fire on me too. ;) | ||

Friday, 3:30 going east on 635. Two blondes in a 355 Spider. They were weaving through traffic to catch up to me in the Lotus and honked and waved to my girlfriend. They asked, "You having fun??" Looks like they were... Also, if you're in Houston, run by Gallery Furniture to see Mac's F40 sitting among a bunch of sofas. I also saw the black 360 driving around in Houston on Thrusday. Looked sweet. | ||

That's my wife Jennie. I think she's attractive too! ;) BMW is getting serviced and I needed her truck to pick up my race car after work, so Jennie drove it to school at UTSWMC. I try and try to get her to go over 4k, but she's not very confident with it yet. | ||

Jonathan is a good guy as is Mike who owns the place. I didn't know that James had moved over from Norwoods until the second visit there. The challenge car would be fun but you would need a lot of track time to enjoy it. Not sure if you know but it has a twin-turbo for a little extra excitement. Rob, See you at TMS but I will only be able to make the Saturday event as I need to be out of town for work on Friday. | ||

Glad to hear good things about Exotic Car World as well. I stopped by yesterday on the way to the airport and looked around. I met Jonathan who seemed cool and the prices seemed to be on the right mark. I really liked the 348 Challenge car and the old Indy car. Hmmm........ | ||

Congrats Rich on your car. I'm glad you had a good experience with Exotic Car World. I don't know the others very well, but James has always been great. I'm really looking forward to TMS. Always fun to do a new track. I did two parade laps in the 328 at an ALMS event in the rain. I guess this may be a tad bit faster. You should come to some FerrariChat.com/FCA local events. | ||

Actually I was the person picking up the 348 Spider on Friday. I sold my 308GTSi in January and had been looking for quite some time to find the right car. I was really torn between the TR and 348 but am very happy with my choice. There was an old post asking if anyone had dealt with the folks at Exotic Car World and at that time no one had. I must say I was very happy with the way they handled the deal. The seller caused a few wrinkles in the process but they were able to navigate through that. Glad to be back on the road again. Rob, I will likely see you at the SCCA event in July at TMS as I run a Spec Miata. | ||

Hey Rob, you should get some Ferrarichat.com business cards and leave them when you see Ferraris. I was at Exotic car world last Friday and they were delivering a 348 Spider, I should have told him to join us. | ||

I saw a beautiful 360 yesterday in (I think this is what the color is-I looked it up) Rooso Barchetta w/ black interior. It was at the Kroger off of Parker and the tollway. Challenge grill, Scuderia Shields, colored calipers, and it was a six speed. Great color combo! | ||

I was in Dallas for a day last week. Saw a red 328 in the morning trying to turn onto Mockingbird near the Dallas Country Club. Then, around 2 PM, saw a silver 400i or 412i going north on the Tollway at around Royal (I was going south), and then a Barchetta Red 360 coupe also going north around NW Hwy. 3 in 5 hours!! | ||

I saw a red 360 Tuesday at Campbell and Greenville, only the 2nd Ferrari I've ever seen while I was driving mine. He of course didn't notice me. When I stopped for lunch there was a guy in his full Ferrari livery; shirt, hat, etc. I watched him leave w/ his friends and gesticulate wildly when he saw my car. | ||
