Stop into "Michael's on the Thames" if you are ever in London On. Fantastic food & service, great wine selection!! Ask Mario, to sing a love song to you and your woman at your table In Italian.

We have taken a liking to Portovino's on the Trans-Canada in Dorval. They make a fantastic osso bucco and very reasonably priced too. BTW, it's a bring your own restaurant but don 't let that fool you, the food is great. You need a reservation.

 

Tony, I guess that you're going to have to change your username soon, since you don't have your 512tr anymore.

Fai il bravo!!!

 

I'll do it as soon as I decide on the car.

Sto facendo il bravo....at least I think I am. LOL

 

Any ideas yet Tony?

Hope all is well.

Vasco

Awesome pics!!! Thx for posting them.

 

Hey Vasco,

All is well,thanks for asking. As for any ideas on what I am going to purchase, it's all a matter of what is available and timing. F-Cars seem to be flying out of FoQ, they come in and out before you know it. Umberto, the sales manager at FoQ, and which he is also a friend or mine, offered me the F430 coupe (silverstone) and before I even had a slight chance to think about it, it was sold to a fellow from Halifax. Right now there is a 2003 360 F1 spider (titanium), my wife and kids are telling to go for it but I am not 100% sure, mainly due to the colour. I find titanium to be too mild of a colour, I am looking for a much more aggressive colour like yellow or a must have red. Honestly, I am confused. What do you guys think of the titanium ? Obviously the original wheels would have to be replaced with something a little bit more blinging. The 03 spider is on their website and BTW I am obligated to FoQ for my next purchase and not by force but simply due to the fact that they helped me sell my car at very close to my asking price, therefore in return I am giving them the business. If I don't decide on the titanium, I might be spending my first summer in 15 years without an F-Car.

 

Tony it's a big purchase as you know. If you are not 100% sure of the colour then pass dude. I would definetly pick up a red/tan if you had the chance simply because that is THE classic colour combo . Or of course Tour De France blue! But as for the yellow....we'll I think i'd pass. Looks hot but NOT a long term colour.

But you know best and it's what makes you and your family happy.

By the way, did your TR sell locally? Hopefully it came to Toronto

Vasco

P.S SORRY ABOUT THE OFF TOPIC BOYS!!!

 

Very nice Ryan. Glad you are living it up. Love seeing the Ontario plate on your old man's F430 spider. It just kinda stood out in a nice way

Oh and I noticed your profile location, you can't fit Ontario in their anymore

LOL

Best,
Vasco

 

Three F40s! O_O also a red 959.

Looks like a great gathering. Thx for sharing!

 

On the 360 its a sweet color, one of my favs, but the interior must be blk. I have seen tan and that red/oxblood and it just seems abit off compared to the blk. Good luck !!

 

Thanks for sharing.....love the Corvette section....looks great !!

What do you think of the Enzo? I havent seen one in real life yet on the road up and personal.

 

wow thats quite an event....3 f40s!

looks like a lot of fun..the choppers look nice too...

 

Laskavo prosimo-byemo i vinosimo!

 

Anyone from canadian Ukrainians do have FERRARI???

 

Personally I love the Enzo, it looks a lot better in real life than in pictures. Seeing it go down the road, it looks like something from another planet.

I'm suprised noone noticed the silver Gallardo with scissor doors! I don't think you'll see that anywhere else.

 

! thanks for sharing!

 

There's an orange one in Kelowna, BC with Corse Miura kit.

I love the Gallardo Spider. Good to see the Exotic and Muscle car crowd's getting together.

 

Peter, don't you have some really hot chicks over there? Not too mention some serious beers too?

An pics? Let get this thread kicking!

 

Nice pics Ryan
i see ur having a great time in Naples
ill send a pm next time im heading down and we could hang out
any of the guys from Naples Motorsports there at that event?
i always seem to come back to this **** weather as soon as some great events go on in Naples

 

Do any of you guys know about a 288 GTO that was recently sold by a Canadian collector to a UK purchaser? Apparently car was time warp with only 400 miles? Rumour is that car set a recent high price for a 288 GTO (not surprising if mileage and condition are at that level)

 

Just to clarify...the Octagon is in THORNHILL (Vaughan). The corner of Yonge st. and Arnold ave.

(I also had an ex that lived on Thornridge/Arnold ave.)

Terra (from the owners of North 44 restaurant) is also in Thornhill (Yonge -7), and its a great restaurant, a little $$ though...


Too many restaurants in Toronto to list......

The best "bang for the buck" is Grazie on Yonge and Eglinton....Great food for a great price, and lots of hotties in there on wkends!

 

Ya NM was there, they had approx. 10 cars on display, I think they even sold a couple of them right there at the show.
