Very nice car (and pics), Darius!

Markus

 

Hi Jürgen,
i'm in Madonna di Campiglio now util 06 od jan .. not to far ....

Best Holiday
Fabio

 

Hi Darius,
very nice 575, great color combo (also if i prefer red ..), compliments for the optimal purchase ...
In the second pictures the leather up to the three air vents appear little disconnected ... is true, or i misunderstanding the picture....
However the 575 is great!!!

 

Thank you! And thanks Markus, good to hear from you. Unlike you, I am not man enough to drive my 575 in all weathers!
Fabio, you made me run down and check the car, but I am pleased to say that's a trick of the light in the image, leather is flush with the vent surrounds.
I like red too (my 550 is rosso corsa) and black in Maranellos - Scraggy's car looks beautiful - but TDF is among my favourites and if you want a good manual 575 you can't be picky with colours!
Juergen, saluti, enjoy the Franciacorta! Or maybe a nice Alto Adige pinot noir..
Darius

 

Darius,
sorry was not my intention to worry you ....
Darius then i'm, like you, not man enough to drive my 575 in all weathers .... haha
I drive very rarely if raining .... and never with snow !
About color i agree, if i had other red Ferrari probably i would buy other colors but is true that can't be picky with colours with a manual 575, or HGTC ... I was lucky to find on a 2013 a red HGTC, and i purchased immediately.

Best

Fabio

p.s.: your package is not arrived at today

 

I still have my summer tires on my 575M. Not sure if I will put on my winter tires since it was rather warm so far and no snow. This will change for sure and it will snow but I am thinking about leaving the summer tires on the car and not drive it when there is snow on the roads.

I did not have much time to drive my 575M: I had some problems with the suspension. The suspension warning came on and the mechanic diagnosed a defective suspension ECU. Fortunately he knows a guy how can repair ECU because a new one would have been CHF/USD 2 700.

After that he discovered that one of the rear shocks is bad too. So he replaced it but before x-mas it took 2 weeks to ship it from Italy to Switzerland.

Now that my car is back, I have another project: I got 4 vinyl records from my wife as x-mas gift although she exactly knows that I don’t own a turntable… I am an old HiFi fan (since I was a kid) and she knew that we will go hunting for a turntable and a nice amp during our x-mas holidays. It was a good time and I hope to have the new equipment by the end of January.

Here a pic not of a Ferrari but of my current HiFi system (without the turntable which has to be delivered yet).

Markus, that looks like the HGTC of sound systems. Needs a Linn turntable!

Fabio, I am sure that between the British Xmas post and the Italian post, full stop, your package will arrive sometime in 2016!

 

Thanks Very much Darius...

Kind regards
Fabio

 

Love your SA, the two tone interior looks great. The seats are so nice, black one is mine but also really like in tan.

Hi Fabio, hope, you'll had a nice time there, very nice place, stayed there several times to enjoy the "Coppa Dolomiti". I have to return tomorrow as well to Germany, unfortunatly no time this time to meet....

Stayed today at the abandoned adriatic city and beaches of Jesolo, had a walk on the seaside - nice and unusual impression....

Have a save trip back!


Saluti,

Jürgen

 

Hello Markus, what a chance! I just saw your post and let you know that I am disassembling my equipment that dates from late 1970s-early 1980s and very rarely played, a Mark Levinson ML-7 pre-amplifier and a Linn Sondek turntable with Koetsu cartridge. They have fewer than 200 hours of use. I also have a collection of vinyl and older wax discs, over twenty boxes of classical going back as far as the 1930s-40s from my mother and father, both of whom sang - they met in voice classes with the same teacher. Wish there was a way for you to see what I have.

 

Interesting about vintage hifi. I also have a vintage system - Michell reference hydraulic turntable, sme 3009 mk2, accuphase pre, accuphase m60 monoblocks, janszen electrostatic speakers. Sounds superb...

 

My two loves, after a nice back road drive to Saint arnaud

Hi Jürgen,
i hope you had enjoyed your holiday in my "strange" Italy ...
for sure will be another occasion to meet in Italy or maybe in Germany, I and my wife would like to go on Germany for car tour, i have a friend who live in Munich (also if he work in Sydney for more time of the year).
Come back early in Germany have a good thing .... that you will re connect to your wonderful 550 ....

Ciao

Fabio

It truly is a country worth visiting - beautiful roads and very sparsely populated.

Really looking forward to going home - as I am in Indonesia for my ships refit

 

Weather was dry in Austria - so perfect for a Christmas-drive on 25/12/2015:

Stephen- That is great. Has she had to have any major work done?

 

Over 100 000 miles! That is great!
