    Ferraris I've driven (strange list) :

    328 GTS (mine)
    Testarossa (mine)
    512M
    288 GTO
    F40
    348 Spyder
    348 TB
    Mondial

    Out of the 8 cars, 3 of them are pretty rare. Feel lucky to have had that chance - All F-Chatters cars. :)

    That's about it. Would like to ride in a Stradale at some point. :)

    Ferrari's I rode in so far.

    512BBi (DanaGribi)
    355 Berlinetta (don't think he is a FChatter)
    550 Maranello (Maranelloman)

    I hope more in the future, like maybe a F40 or Challenge Stradale.

    I revised the layout just a little bit, trying to balance out the layout.

    I love the direction the thread has gone. My list is extremely short as far as Ferrari's driven in: 308 gtb (thanks Bob) I intend to make the list longer.

    If anyone is interested in a copy of the file, the pdf is 22 mgs. I could make it smaller.

    thanks

    Lets see....I think ive met every production Ferrari from 1980 on, all except the 288 GTO and F50. And there is a 288 GTO in Colorado who is going to shows and such often, so I may see him.

    So, where can I spot an F50?

    Ive riden in 3 Ferraris

    F40LM (Roland Linders)
    360 Modena
    348TS

    The LM and 360 were on a racetrack.....ohhhh the memorys :D

    I got a ride in a 512TR to my 18. birthday and that was so far the only ride I got in a Ferrari. But I'll drive an ENZO on August 28th!!!!!!
    And I also hope to get some rides on the Modena Motorsport Track Days tomorrow and on Friday.
