    I introduced myself a little some months ago and my first own Ferrari was the 360 spider that i still have.Bought the 512 TR this summer and i've been at some carshows/meetings the last years.Yesterday was my first bigger event with Tessy and there was mostly italian cars represented and i was amazed over the reaktion!
    I Think it was 250-300 cars there and age from -57 OSCA/Maserai to 2 brand new LaFerrari....Oooolala.
    The funny thing was that there was only ONE flat 12 and that was mine and most cameras was directed to the two La-F. But then i Think my 512 TR was pictured as number 3-4.
    I was there from 8 o'clock until 5 o'clock and there were people around the car all the time,
    age 18-80,male and female and i could't belive it should make so much possitive reactions.
    I was drewling over the 2 LaFerrari and then i turned around and found a hole bunch of people around my car.

    It's more than you and me that had a Testarossa poster on the wall 30 years ago!

    Bye the way we did 600 km yesterday mostly highways.......what a car.

    Greetings from sweden :)

    Funny how the 512 TR seems compact in this photo, like it's 80% scale compared to the others. It certainly feels big from behind the wheel though!

    Oh my.

    I was going to ask what that little car in the middle is.

    And the TR is supposed to be big! What would a 250PF look like in the same place?

    Not too many cars stir emotions over the years for me - Only been Countach, TR, XJ220, Vanquish, and now LaFerrari (F50 and F40 were nice but never registered emotionally)

    I was at the vehicle inspection today...The boss on the station asked:do you mind if i take a Picture..No problem :).

    I was on the same station one month ago with my really good looking 360 spider...
    no photos.

    I owned my TR now for 4 months,and it's gets better and better,i find new wiews on it every day..And driving is phenomenal.

    Same thing happened to me with my 360 and TR. The TR evokes a visceral, emotional response that seemingly eludes the 360. Too funny we share similar experiences. BTW, I like the 360, but the TR is very, very special.

    Maybe something wrong with the 360 :D.

    No,seriously i Think most people know what a Testarossa is.even they who's not really interested in cars...A supercar of its time.

    The TR is and will always be a ICONIC image. It is part of car history in my opinion. It was unique and never seen before style. The 360 will never be.
