The wait is almost over!

OK my L'ville F-chat buddies... some of you know that I just joined the "inner circle", but I am waiting on the new horse to get delivered into the stable.

I just couldn't close the deal on several TR's and 512TR's. I really like these cars. They look the part, act the part and just scream "get out of my way".

Well I turned my attention to another car in a similar price range, the 360 Modena. So here is what I bought... 2000 360 Modena, 6 speed, Argento Nurburgring, Bordeaux Interior (Daytona seats), Argento Challenge Grill, 19" Titanium Challenge Wheels, Lowered to Euro Spec.

The car really looks sharp. I flew out to Phoenix (Tempe) to see it over at Evolution MotorSports who is who I had do the PPI and some "discretionary work" on it. By the way, EVOMS is just an incredible shop and Robert over there is a first class guy. Takes the time to get to know you, knows his stuff (both P-cars and F-cars) and runs an awesome shop (one of the top P-tuning shops in the country, if not THE shop).

Anyway, we are waiting on some wheel spacers to finish out the car and then it will get loaded into a trailer and shipped. I can see an "Italian only" party at my place in April when the weather breaks. Until then, I can continue to look for another car to buy

Hope everyone had a great Holiday.

I think more garage space would be the first thing in order.

 

Uhhhh, agree.

Cant add on to my house, so me and Mr. Lambo are looking for places for a cool man cave to store our cars. Keep your eye out for us.

 

Congrats Jim! The 360 is a great car, I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy it

 

Congrats! Always nice when another North Central member gets an exotic
Looking forward to pictures.

 

Can't wait to see it!! What type of an exhaust does it have?

Matt

 

Its got a Tubi, Matt. Not sure what stage, but it will be great to compare to your stage 3 Capristo to see how they both sound in comparison.

Jim

 

Congrats!

- my 512tr sold today. So I better do something or I won't make the cut at the party.

Enjoy many happy miles

 

What about the F355?

 

Don't worry, I have a loaner.

Congratulations! That's fantastic.

 

Congratulations! Can't wait to see it at cars and coffee!

So the 512TR is gone! Congrats, I think

You can still come to the party.

 

Earlycat... that looks like a Fiat 850 Sport Coupe. Maybe 1970 or 71?

 

1971. I can't believe I bought that thing, like it is, in Vegas & shipped it back.

 

My car is complete and is shipping on Monday

 

So much for "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". It IS very cool in its own way, though, and the rarity factor must be off the charts...

 

Hey smokin if you find a place to house the horses let me know, I am in the same process with a couple of Louisville guys that own wharehouses! No luck yet but still looking. i want some space to house the 355 and wifes A4 cab for the snow days. Cant wait to see some pics. Congrats

More pics!!! Have you driven it much??

Matt

 

there is nothing more beautiful. I have room in Lexington, long drive. But there is about 30,000 extra feet

 

Jim,
That car is smokin' hot. You are going to have so much fun.

As for the garage space, sell the house in the breeding colony and buy yourself a proper spread with a real stable for your horsepower. Then you would have room for your friends to keep their toys there as well. Charge a fee, depreciate a building - now you might have some tax advantages. See, this is a good financial decision. Sell your wife on this and then come see me about some real estate!

 

Super J,
Yes. We think alike, but alas no desire to move right now. If you come across some property by my place to build a pole barn on let me know, or a small warehouse (~2000sqft) would work. No more breeding for me!

 

Are those Stradale rims?

Nice

 

Yep... Stradales.
