    I'm in Halifax and was wondering where the best shops were for fixing these beasts. I have two in mind and was wondering if more honest shops existed. Thanks.

    Just bring them to Ferrari of Quebec....
    I already saw some Ferrari's in the garage for repairs with a Nova Scotia license plate.

    But your looking for a good place in Halifax...I don't really know but I could check on that.

    I'm still building my carrer, seven days a week. It would be very convenient to find a shop closer. There are two in Dartmouth that fix "older" Ferraris but I have yet to go over and shake a hand. Are you east of Montreal?

    The Ferrari dealer is more north of Montreal. (btw I don't work there if you thought I was, but I would LIKE to work there in the future as a salesman.):)

    I am in Halifax. I haven't used him yet but Carlo Auto on Agricola street is apparently the guy to use. I think he is primarily experienced with the carbureted cars though. If you are talking about a modern car, you are probably best to send it to Mtl (to the dealer or an independent)

    There are a couple of F car owners in the area there (sneeky little....) one is Harry Steele (Newfoundland Capital Corp former owner of Eastern Provincial Airways) , His son owns a bunch of car dealers around town. One of them is the Chrysler dealer on Robie (steele chrysler i think) and Wood Motors Ford, If there was someone around who could point you in the right direction it would be them. Knowing the Steeles they will have someone they go to for service either on their own staff at one of their MANY dealers or someone they can reccomend

    How many Ferrari's are in Nova Scotia? My Grandpa saw a 77 308GTB & a 412 in the classifieds this past weekend, and I know of a silver CS, the owner had a silver 355B before. Does anyone know of anymore F-cars in NS?

    That was The Ferrari of Eastern Canada: nicknamed "Mondie" by the locals, it's a mythical beast reported by vacationers for more than 16 years...

    Wow, you made me famous. That car at the airport is my car. My friend has the exact same car, but a tan interior. He helped me to find this. It is an '87 Mondial. I just bought it from a broker in Quebec who brought it over form Italy. Car has only 40,000 kms. It is in great shape. Never thought I would get so much attention. Now I am frantically trying to get prices on doubling the size of my garage before the snow flies. Are you an F owner?

    Not an F-car owner. I'm only 16. I was wearing my Ferrari hat and looked right at you coming towards us. Where in NS do you live?
