Right Place, Right Time - LaFerrari

So I was having some fuel adjustment work being done on the 328 and it was early, like 7:30AM at FoD. As usual, I walked in the back to talk with Travis as he was doing the adjustments so I could pass our stupid state emissions crap test.

Anyway, as inconspicuous as it could be, the second car on the right hand side when you walked in the shop was.....a LaFerrari, yup. Grey with black accents and red interior. Absolutely stunning! Only one in the US so far and it's now in Pebble Beach.

I promised our good friends at FoD I wouldn't post till the car was gone. The car sounds phenomenal and was awesome when Bill took it to fuel up. Enjoy the pics and the video.

I guess I was just there at the right time.

I am having issues with the video uploading and I'll inquire what to do.

Very nice! I had heard it was there but didn't think I should drop in and inquire. My friend who saw it said there was an Enzo parked next to it . . . he didn't really notice the Enzo until later.

 

Speechless... That is awesome. Always seem to have good things in the shop!

 

Would love to see it in person. Pictures usually don't do Ferraris' justice. All of the subtle curves that don't show up.

My 328 has been in that exact spot at FoD a few times. Next to the Enzo under the cover.

I like the silver better than red on that one.

 

Here is the video of Bill returning from the fueling station.

sounds cool.

 

Somebody spotted it in Monterey yesterday, definitely has CO temp tag.
Nice color combo for sure, wonder who might own this...

The owner is not from the states. He's in the Asia Pacific region.

 

So why was the car at FoD?

 

I heard the owner has a residence in Aspen, Colorado. Also heard the LaFerrari is not his most expensive car by any means.

 

Very cool! I wish I could have seen in person!

 

Nice...maybe PhilNotHill will spot this car in the next months.

 

Before the snow flies... early in Aspen.

 

...man, Ferrari sure got that car right.

 

I would never have thought to phrase it like that but he owns some of the most significant Ferraris ever made and has amassed a significant collection over the last 30 years.

 

Really shouldn't matter who he is or what he owns, the car is the most important item to enjoy, right?

 

Amazing car, I hope to see one in person in the near future.

 

Awesome. Hopefully we'll see a couple more pass through the region and after the dust settles, have one live here in the Denver area.

Wow.
I REALLY like that in grey.

 

Not my words, Ryan. Just restating exactly what was said to me. I don't know who the person is or what all is in the collection. Must be a nice collection though. I hear a Michael Schumacher Formula 1 car is in the collection. Gotta love that.

 

Interesting. BTW, the F1 car is not even in his top 5 Ferraris either in significance, value, or historical importance. Gotta love *that.*

 

Holly smokes!!

 

Holy Smokes.... smoking Holly would really make you sick...
