Aussie Ferrari Spotters Thread??

Can you recommend a mechanic?

 

A straight body Volvo? lol

 

and an upgrade to CCB brakes

 

Nope, mine was still in the UK at that time

 

Poor old speedy...he's copping it tonight. He'll accuse you of attacking him! LOL

 

I think you're the one that needs some respect. I was having a joke with someone I know.


Here is IanB checking out my cool car. I hope this picture doesn't offend you.

I'm offended by the black indian 4wd in the photo

 

Either that Scud has been photo-shopped into that pic, or every other car there is actually a 1/2 scale model.
Or the Scud is twice as big as I thought it was.

Hang on, this is my 355th post. Better make it a good one....

Errr....

Oh well.

 

so why did you park next to it

Too bad!!! Wasted opportunity. I'm still waiting to have ONE good post.

The Scud is a big car compared to the others...that's a fact.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You were suppose to use that 355 post to talk about your car! haha


Here is a better pic

Real photo, & the owner of the Scud is in the picture too.
You are correct though, modern Ferrari's are actually quite big. Put a 308 GTB beside a 430 and you'll be amazed at how "small" the GTB looks

M

 

Lol! Is that why Blackjag left? 400,000,000 posts and not a single good one? Just gave up in the end?

I am genuinely surprised at how huge the Scud looks. Makes the Daytona* look extremely tiny and narrow.

* If it's not a Daytona, my apologies. My knowledge of the older Ferraris is not what it should be...

 

Oh crap. Is there such a thing as a 357?

Ummmm.... Dangerous ground. Lets stick to cars!

 

Here we go. My car looks like a tank next to the 355

Wow. It's only when you see them side by side that the size difference is so obvious.
I've seen my car next to a 360, and the 360 looks very big and bulbous by comparison, but for some reason I always thought the 430 (particularly the Scud) somehow had reduced the apparent bulk.

As an aside, I love the air scoops Aircon has sculpted into his roof.
Was that a factory option?

Just a window reflection. The website downsizes the pics to 800x600.

 

Ahhh thats right, I remember you mentioning it ages ago.

 

Thanks for the update and the pics Andrew. It was pretty rough the last time I saw it in Australia.

 

Yup; but about 400kg or more lighter than the Daytona with a lot more horsepower.

 

I see that comparison every time I walk into the garage. The X5M makes the Scud look like an elise LOL

 

technology...amazing

 

When did you buy a testarossa?

 

I'm glad Ferrari made some progress in 40 years...
