sex on wheels,like the Daytona,thanks

 

No problem......I guess you've never driven one....best you don't.

Regards,

Carl.

 

sorry only ever been in an 308gts/i and thats about it and any Ferrari would be a pleasure if i owned one

 

nice pics Carl. there is just something special about seeing OHOS F-cars out on the road. thanks

 

Hey, don't say sorry, consider yourself lucky!

246 and 308's are the best if you like that tactile nimble feeling with carbs. If you like a dozen up the front, the 250, 275 and 330 series are great, the Daytona is just plain heavy and steers like a pig without any dynamic sophistication. If you want the best V12 classic supercar for the street, a Miura or a 275 GTB/4 is the only choice!

Regards,

Carl.

 

Oh, and lets not forget the BB, probably the compromise in terms of a rear engined 12 cylinder.

Regards,

Carl.

 

muira would be my choice

 

Carl - great to see some pics of some proper machinery! I look forward to more of them!

 

Wow! Certainly an eclectic selection of Ferraris. I love it!

 

they've started "carby car only" runs...and they're starting to get quite a turn up to them

 

365GTC/4

the best

love it

must have one

the ONLY real Ferrari for me, I don't care if the steering is heavy or whatever, to me this is an icon car

 

what a great idea.

 

GTC/4 had power steering...also the carbs are on the wrong side of the heads. Pretty though.

 

I remember that Barina, and if I remember rightly it's faster than all the F-cars

I'm with JM (hmmm... two JMs... "J-Mo"?) on the GTC/4 though, I love them too

 

Golly, what a collection of cars!

That 250GTE looks magnificent. The Queen Mary with Borranis is just fantastic, and is that 330GT 2+2 s/n 5991? Looks much better there than it did in the ads.

 

I like the BB

 

I wondered where the 330 with the 'funny' nose had gone. I knew the perv owner quite well before he passed away. Had a heart attack at the wheel of one of his Bentley Turbo Rs a few hours after he had signed over the majority of his business to his brother and was planning to retire and enjoy his car collection...

 

It's essentially a 330GTC nose grafted on to the 2+2, isn't it?


BTW, it's always sad to hear of someone passing away soon after retirement, when by rights they should be enjoying the fruits of their labour.

 

DROOOOOOOOOL.

Love the classic ferraris and its nice to see the 400's getting around.

Is that a brown dino? 70's!!!!

 

Nah VM, more psychedelic 60s; it's a 330GTC.

 

Maurice (departed 330 owner) was a nice guy, if a little eclectic in his car and music tastes. He liked Studebakers and Country/Western music... Big supporter of the classic car scene in WA for many years and had about 40-50 cars inc. 3.0l Bentley, Silver Ghost, various Turbo Rs and an Azure convertible, a Continential T, Delorean etc etc. 330 was his first F car.

 

Hmmm, Andrew, I think the last two words of the sentence above were a tautology I mean, he did own a Ferrari right, so he must have been a perv?

Regards,

Carl.

 

Oh, and another thing about that 330, the current owner used to have a 250 SWB and a 250 GT/L. Odd, after those two, you'd buy that 330, when at the time, there were nicer ones around.

Regards,

Carl.

 

Had dinner tonight with Trev Basset and Pip ( It was Pip's 50th, can you F***** believe it!!) and Phil and Chris Moore. Said there was 11 Daytona's there! Also said someone claimed to have seen 170!! FAST OHOS!! Sounds like it was a great weekend. Actually it sounded like Rally's of old (sigh)
