1st time Ferrari owner in Denver

Did you buy that car yet? Set up your garage so we can take a peek.

 

Congrats...post some pics

 

I'm in, if you don't mind having an old Dino in the mix. I'm in Co Spgs but would love an excuse to take the back roads up north. I hope some of you have been able to enjoy the beautiful weather recently. Here is a pic from today.

Was your Dino @ Concourse Cars for a while?

 

Aww man, I have to work on Saturday. I am really looking forward to this spring though as this car was in pieces most of the year last year. Thanks for sending me the info.

 

That is the car. It was at Concours for 10 months. It received a complete mechanical overhaul. The interior is original, and the body was factory resprayed from white to red in Italy when it went back to the factory for a new front clip after an accident in the mid 70's. I am going to keep it as original as possible for as long as possible.

 

Tell me when you take that back road so I can wave when you drive by.

 

I saw it quite a few times when my 348 was there. I like how you are keeping it original. Pleasure seeing the car and how it went together. Would be great if we could take ours to the Cars and Coffee @ First and Main town center in the springs.

 

Sounds like a good plan. I love that event...hoping to go to a few of them this year.

 

Let us know when+where the Springs Cars and Coffee is. Some of us from the south part of the metro area could easily drive down to meet up.

 

Dates:
May 3rd- Available
June 7th- Available

I will be throwing a couple of car events at the Twin Peaks at I-25 & Arapahoe on both Memorial day and Labor day. Both of these events will have a great turn out of exotic cars and would love to have a bunch of Ferrari chat cars!

More details will come out on my Colorado Car Events email list along with posting it here.

Got it!!

 

Its arrived in Parker? Great news!

 

Rick,

I feel so bad for you. I used to have nightmares about my car getting smashed up, waking up in a cold sweat. I'm sure you'll get it worked out. It'll just take some time and hard work working with the insurance company.

Hopefully you will jump back into Ferrari ownership. I'm sure the 360 spider was a blast to drive.

Hey look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a hit and run.

So give us your impression so far. You have driven it, haven't you?

 

Chas, LOVE IT! One of my favorite drives was heading home from Denver in early Feb, clear roads, crisp night (actually, 1am), with the top down. Wind gliding over the sleek body and barely spilling into the cabin. Heater on low to moderate, enough to keep the cabin comfortable. No moon and a starry night, driving down I-25.
I look forward to more rides.. the car may be back in Colorado by the first week of May!

You will meet many Ferrari Owners at the 24th Annual AUTOMEZZI Exotic Italian Car Show. This years event will be held on August 17th at Anderson Park in Wheat Ridge on GRASS.

Fantastic! Along those same lines, here's an Italian Motorworks enthusiast semi-social group I just created. Wheels Of Parma - Colorado Chapter (Parker, CO) - Meetup The intent of the group is go on drives, meet for a bite or some espresso, and share our love of the unique style and personality of all Italian motorworks.

 

Rick, I joined your Meetup. Great idea.

 

And... she's back! Is there a Cars & Coffee this weekend?

 

Elevation Motors has one on Saturday.
