The Ontario Thread!

It was "Corvette Festival" in Wasaga Beach (Collingwood) on the weekend.

 

I love Blue...but I love Tremblant even more. Great spot for a getaway. Le Scandinave Spa is a MUST when I go to either place.

Tell us more about the 355. Spider? GTS? B? color? any pics?

Chris

 

Was a red 355 and wasnt convertible, wasnt able to get any pictures as it drove past me. Honestly though i dont know enough about he 355 to tell you anything more lol.

Do people really care what cars other people have seen? Maybe it's just me, but I find this thread pretty much useless at this point. If you want to look at pictures of other cars, Google them. Is it really interesting to know that someone else saw a particular car? I don't even care what others own, let alone have seen. I see my Ferrari in my garage every day.....that's more than enough for me.

OK, back to the thread.

Yeah I think a lot of us care what kind of cars are around ontario and especially the GTA, because you know, were car enthusiasts. Seems like that is what keeps this thread going and I know most of us have no problem with that. What was your plan surrounding this thread? I come in here most often to see the new cars people have spot in Ontario and what is lurking around the GTA/events around the GTA.

So if you don't like what's in this thread it isn't hard to not click on it and stay out if you're so unimpressed with what people are spotting and sit in your garage and look at your same old Ferrari everyday.

 

Yes. A lot of people care. There`s a reason there are so many spotter threads all over the internet, as well as exoticspotter.

 

It would actually be really nice if we split the regional threads, so that spotters posts could be in an eg "The Ontario Spotters Thread" and the drives, club activities, events, and other regional stuff could be in an eg "The Ontario Activities Thread", or some similar split.

I like spotters threads too, but you lose other posts when the spotter posts are coming in quickly!

Any Burlington spots Derek? ; p

 

My plan? It isn't my thread, so I don't have a "plan".

I never said I was "unimpressed" with what people are spotting, just uninterested. As someone else pointed out, having a thread to know what events are going on in the area is useful. Like I said, it was just my opinion that knowing a type-xxx supercar is somewhere in my area doesn't really change my life at all. If I saw it myself that would be different. But knowing that someone else saw it.......I don't get it.

Did I say that I sit in my garage and look at my car? And if you do own a Ferrari and get tired of looking at your "same old Ferrari everyday", it would be time to sell it and move on.

I was offering my opinion, that's all. Sorry to interupt the thread.

 

File this under "Woodbridge Problems"....

20 year old dude driving his dad's mint 360 Stradale was written off in a bad accident in Woodbridge Saturday.

OK guys, just want to let you know. I'm not ready to advertise the car but if someone would be seriously interrested in my Mondial I think I would sell to the right person. Some of you may have seen the car last year at Italian car day. It is blue sera with tan interior.
Email or PM me for details. Only serious buyers please.

 

Good reminder for me the next time I need to explain to my Daughter (now 20 years old) why she can't drive the Ferrari unless I am in the car with her. I need to be there to tell her to take it easy, there are no auto-save-my-ass features in the car. It is a shame about the Car but more importantly its a real shame when people get hurt as a result of the loss of control.

 

I don't get it either, and my mind boggles to the length some of these guys will travel to spot and shoot cars. But kudos to them, we all need a hobby.

 

The beats would be coming down so hard. Then again who ever let their 20 year old son drive their car should get their head checked. If ny kid wants to drive a Ferrari, go to work and buy one yourself.

 

Ok here's my take.

For starters I started this thread in 04 and how is it a problem now? I totally understand that some posts can use some work. For example the issue of long boring lists of cars with no pictures. Fine, we get it now.

But what many forget is that there are owners AND enthusiasts here. A lot of young guys (And older like myself ) that get excited about these cars but can't yet afford one. We have all been there. Never, ever second guess an enthusiast. We are all here for the same reason.

Someone kindly Messaged and suggested there be car spotter thread for the busy provinces. Well, they used to be called spotter threads but since renamed to just the provinces name. The idea of that was just to gather related items, spots, comments, etc in one thread.

This forum is for all so if there is a vote to rename the threads or any other idea on how to make things better than I'm all ears

 

When did this happen ?

Last time I saw you - you had 2 ears like the rest of us.

 

The cool thing about spots being mentioned is it might be you. I remember, years ago, someone posted spotting me and I said, 'hey, that was me!', which was fun. I have no problem with postings that show clean enthusiasm in any way. If it bores me, I just don't read it.

 

I would prefer to see a separate Spotters thread & a general Ontario (BS) thread.

Oh, & Vasco if you want to see some exotics come OUT to the events.

Should have been you know were this weekend!!!!

 

Between a close member of my family being rushed to hospital and me being a Godfather for the 3rd time on Sunday....it was kinda busy around here

But I appreciate you guys thinking of me. I am very surprised in fact

 

Good seeing u that day too. However that was long ago! When is the next meeting?

And where've you been? Haven't seen you on here in a while? You're not turning on us by hitting another forum now are you?
