NICE!!!!

My cousin in Italy is an engineering student at the University of Pisa and he majored in aero-mechanical engineering-he's in the top 5 of his class and he's acheived his dream-an internship at Ferrari!!!!-he's there for 6 months and if they like him they will give him a full time job....I plan on going to Italy next summer and God willing he'll still be there....

 

Way Cool! Good Luck To Him!

 

That is awesome. All the best to him ! Tell him to bring us lighter Ferraris !

 

EXCELLENT!!!.

 

Need to find out what department he'll be assigned to.....he's a huge F1 fan but he'll probably be designing ashtrays at first....Emiliano Dini (no relationship to the Italian politician Lamberto Dini) is his name....his parents are coming to NY in October/November so I'll get the full story/details then.......

 

That's Wonderful News!!! I am sure you and your family are very proud of him. I wish him every success and hope he get's the full time job at Ferrari. Just a thought, I wonder what the employee discount for a Ferrari is?

Ciao...Paolo

 

Discount??? I'll settle for some pit passes for the Canadian GP next year-as a start!!!! Then I'll go drinking with Kimi, then I'll see if Ferrari NA needs a counsel in the USA-Italian was my first language...

 

Awesome

 

Good luck to him. But arent ash trays becoming politically incorrect? Who would ever smoke in Ferrari (oops, any smokers on FChat?)

 

Man, thant's exciting. Good luck to him!

 

That's really cool. Good luck to him!

 

Very cool to hear. Wish him all the best and hope he has fun.

 

When I was in Italy last spring he told me some of his professors worked/consulted for Ferrari in the past so they had contacts and they helped get him in. He's an excellent student so that helped; they got him in the door but its up to him to stay there. Once he's settled in I'll get his email address....

 

2nd, the 599 is pushin' close to 2 tons

 

Sounds great, that is a dream come true!

 

Interesting to note how sports motorcycles keep getting lighter but sportscars just keep getting heavier....Lotus has the right idea.

 

very cool!

 

congrats, out of high school I had a friend who skipped college to work on the assembly line at Ferrari, not bad!

 

Ferrari are built in Italy, remember.....people still smoke there if they so please...

 

Update on my cousin-he's just starting at Ferrari and his "project" is fuel consumption; his parents are coming to NY this week and I'll get more details....6 months "trial period" at Ferrari and if they like him he stays...as I plan on going to Italy next April he better stay....

 

Red Ferrari Puma shoes are just as bad and unhealthy as smoking, but people still wear them in a Ferrari if they so please....

 

There are some places in this world where the 'girlie P.C.'s' have not allowed common sense to be taken over.

 

Great! Now, by Monday we need answers to these questions. If he could consult with Luca on ashtray design and kind of work in the following I'm sure we'd all appreciate it:

1. Will Ferrari be making a 'California' model, and how will it be positioned vis-a-vis the F430?
2. Is the SUV proposed a serious thought or a bunch of Photoshop b.s.?
3. How often do you need to change the timing belts in Ferraris that use them?
4. What's the average markup on Ferrari spares -- i.e., the cost on a 348 targa latch versus the price?
5. How much do they plan to expand production to meet demand?

 

Jon-I found it somewhat ironic that his first project revolves around fuel consumption-is Ferrari going Green?

More details to follow next week....
