    I've been posting pics of this shop in the mid-atlantic section for awhile. I thought more people might be interested in seeing them since it's not your run of the mill shop. Full disclosure, i am a friend of the owners and a customer but i have no financial interest. you'll see my fiat 500 in one of the pics. first pics show quite a lineup at the work tables. 5 motor jobs in line. notice the seperate engine dyno room behind. Then a wider shot of the main shop floor. The F40 is on the alignment machine and the CS is on the race alignment table. Most of the guys around here already know about them and i imagine most of you guys wouldn't be able to use them because you are too far away. but if you want to contact them here is the website:

    another bay of the shop (they have three). notice 6 boxers! with the one being worked on in the other bay, that's 7. i don't think there were that many at the nationals last year. but the inventory changes daily. bottom pic shows cars waiting to be worked on and customer lounge with large screen. also an interesting alfa race car in the corner. if you are sharp you will also see 3 Abarths in the pics. These are all pics i took today. if you guys are interested in more i have pics with all kinds of cool vintage and modern cars at this shop over the last several months.

    Hmm my car is in there somewhere waiting for the 30K, but I can't spot it in the pics. Hope they are not joy riding it :) :) Seriously, it must be in the other hangar to the right.

    Personally I think we should start a movement to have Richard at competizione be known as the "Eugenio of the east coast" on fchat. All these west coasters rave about Eugenio, but Richard is the MAN too!!!.

    Agreed^.

    Looks like a pretty large shop as well, a bit larger than what I've seen in Dallas.

    15,000 sf so far. Since you are a lambo lover, here is one for you. this one also has my 328 in it and a 355 challenge car. The lambo is a 97 or 98 if i remember. Diablo roadster. hadn't been started in over 4 years. has an amazing 3k miles. all it needed was a couple fuel pumps and tires(flat spotted).

    The car on the lift on the left hand side of the 2nd picture is my 330 GT 2+2. It is getting rear axle work and carbs rebuilt etc. Richard as always is doing a great job!! I cant believe they have so many cars there to work on and they still have time to give me such personalized service. They are awsome!!

    Yeah, yeah, the engine is old but she aint dead yet! It is a numbers matching original car first owned by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who was a well known Ferrari collector. I researched this and got his confirmation that the car was his 3 weeks before he died in 2004.

    Wetpet,

    I knew you were kidding but she does leak a little oil even when not being drained. It lets me know I still have oil!
