    I know one of my Ferrari buddies had a white TR in Alaska from the Ferrari list of old. Just came back from Anchorage and was hoping he was still around. Here was a picture of his car. Met with Peter from the GT4 registry in
    Vancouver, had a great Italian meal then ventured into the great unknown......only saw a 550 in Stanley park then no more. Some of the roads up there were great and the weather was sunny and warm, anyway I missed seeing you up there, if any have f-cars post them i would like to see them.

    Also had great fun in YT but many of the roads were gravel.........take the 4x4! :)

    Robert, there are a few Ferrari owners in Anchorage.
    Hey great to hear you got to meet Peter R. There are plenty of Ferraris in Vancouver, you just need to know where to look. Prime spotting is on Robson Street downtown.

    Of course it has rained for the last three months here in Anchorage, so seeing a Ferrari outside has been rare this summer. There are at least 6 in the area (two 308s, Mondial, 328, CS, the white TR). A couple of Maserati QPs, and a Gallardo Spider, too.

    Seeing your own doesn't count. I washed, waxed and winter-prepped my car last week...which ensured the sunny weekend we had.

    An English teacher at my high school drove a red 328 GTS. I haven't seen it since 1998 though, so I have no idea if it's still in the state. I've seen at least 4 different red 308s as well. Plus the Testarossa and Mule's and Bob's cars.

    Years ago, like the 60's, a group of owners in Alaska with 250's etc got together and formed a group with the initials. F.A.R.T.. I can remember cars getting shipped to Seattle for service.

    Around 83 I bought a 308 GTB out of Eagle River.

    Cheers!

    A late 4.9, probably came with the power steering. It has the Euro exhaust on it too. Very desirable and commanding a high price if all original and in good shape.
    I would love to have one but the market got too hot on them last year. I had to "settle" for a TR.:)

    Veyron blew past me tonight doing at least 150.

    I'm guessing it was Mule trying out his new ride.

    No, not Salma. Selma, her twin sister.

    Talking to yourself? I think the Veyron is his winter beater.
