The Alberta Thread!

Porsches sleep outside

oh, and welcome to Calgary. They are everywhere. Spotted a blue Gallardo last night in our Safeway parking lot getting groceries.

 

Hello All,

I've been lurking around the board for a while and have always enjoyed the pics of peoples cars.......so I thought I'd return the favour. Here are a few of my new '08.

Great looking car! Enjoy it in good health.

 

A Beautiful Edmonton car! Bianco Fuji on black is a great combo! I hope to see it around when I go back to visit!

Enjoy in good health and drive like it was meant to!
-David

 

Stunning car, enjoy it.

 

Stunning, My favorite colour for this car.

 

Great looking car. Congrats!

 

Edmonton car? His profile and the pictures say the car is in Calgary...


Beautiful F430, Mr. Turbos! Welcome to F-Chat

 

Thanks for pointing that out.....At first glance it looked like the Edmonton skyline, but upon closer examination it wasn't.....

 

My911turbos....

Is that a pearl white color........or gloss white ? Nice car BTW.......welcome to F-Chat.

 

Its a 3 stage pearl white process Ferrari/Maserati call Bianco Fuji. $24,000 and a couple months extra build time (gulp....) but the car is spectacular in person, IMO. Pictures don't do the depth of the paint justice.

I've heard that Maserati can't use the color anymore, now that Ferrari has adopted it - but I think (?) I've seen new Maserati's advertised with it.

 

$24K eh.......heh......worth every penny.

 

Maserati had the colour available on Gran Sports, QPs and Gran Turismos... Ferrari of Alberta has a QP in BF. It has been implied to me that the colour was so popular with Maserati that Ferrari saw dollar signs and adopted the colour themselves. For Maserati, the colour was moved from a simple upgrade to "out of range" and therefore more expensive.

Stunning either way!

 

What an awesome car and color. Here is what Lambo calls Bianco Perlato. My white Lambo. Only 3 in this color.

Got a ride in that car. Thanks Air4c1 - Trust me, thee BEST 25th that I've ever seen.
So good as a matter of fact, under the car is just as perfect as the top.

The cherry is that it is serial number -002. The Lambo factory has the very last 25th, I think this car is the earliest existing. Right here in Calgary!! WWOOOO HOOOO!!

 

I saw my911turbos F430 at lunch today... pictures don't do it justice!

Also saw a Black Diablo, Blue Gallardo, Silver SL63, Red F430 Spider, Silver Gran Turismo, Black Bentley GT, Silver Flying Spur... That was all in 20 minutes at lunch... who knows what I missed in the restaurant and to be honest, I kinda stopped paying attention

 

Spotted in a SW community tonight: Light silver 599 GTB with pentagram rims, silver calipers, and shields. Great car. Also on the same street was an orange Murcielago coupe with orange mirrors.

edit: The 599 had a Ferrari of Ontario plate frame.

 

I finally got around to uploading my ZR Melrose photos. A disclaimer: the camera I was using was a crappy point and shoot, which I had never used before (bad plan, I know, but my camera was broken). And Facebook butchered what was left of the quality. Nevertheless...

Can you post pictures somewhere where it doesnt require one to log in? I'm not on facebook.

Saw both those this morning - the Phantom was the ZR Limo...

Also saw 2 red F430 coupes, a Silverstone F430 Spider and a red 348TB...

 

Hi fellow Albertans..
I'm a newbe on the Ferrari seen, the last time I drove one was in 1997...residing in Calgary and in the US and wanting to order the new California, is there a new dealer here ? would it be "easier" to buy in TX ? does Ferrari has a factory delivery program ?this car will fit very nicly with my other toys but I do not want to be ripped off by greedy dealer ...
Thanks ahead for the help !

Mike
