The Swiss Thread

OK, some old models? or brand new as LaF?

 

I do not know. But there are always older models such as a darkred 275 GTB/4 and silver Lusso or dark blue 365 GTC/4 there.

If you can think about still opened passes, next weekend I am around...

All passes are closed for winter but let's keep in touch , I am planning for the Col de Turini in April )

 

Hello everybody!

Is there some special car event for téléthon this week-end in Swiss?

Thanks

 

Last year I joined the swisscabrioday. It is held at the famous Autobau from Fredy Lienhard and I really enjoyed this event last year. I even made it into the video of a local TV station with my 512TR: [ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QhafigN3YQ[/ame]

Here are more info about the swisscabrioday which takes place on May 1st as an alternate to the demonstrations in Zurich: swisscabrioday? - Open Air Tours? - Cabriolet- & Sportwagen-Touren die bewegen!

It’s more about talking about cars than driving. And if you come with a nice car (such as a Ferrari) it may even have a fixed roof and has not to be a convertible/cabrio (despite the name of the event).

In case some are not aware, a popular initiative was launched to raise the speed limit on freeways from 120 to 140 km/h. 150K+ likes on FB, but collecting signatures is only about half way to the 100'000 needed and getting really sluggish.

While one may question the wisdom or usefulness of the measure, i think it is about time that there is a democratic debate about the place of cars in our society.

With Via Sicura and the ever growing stigmatisation of sport cars (sometimes unfortunately for 'good' reasons related to the idiotic behaviour of a minority), showing our representatives in Bern that there are votes behind steering wheels cannot be such a bad thing. Some lawmakers still claim they did not understand the consequences of their approval of Via Sicura.

So a signature and a stamp are all that is needed if you think it's worth 5 minutes of your time.

Note to moderators: I have no affiliation with the initiative committee.

 

Thanks. Although I am aware of that initiative your post just pulled the trigger to print 10 copies of the form to sign it by myself and to let it sign by my family members and friends.

Thanks

Markus

 

Hallo Markus,
sehr schönes Video, Danke.
Leider ohne Untertitel
Ich verstehe einfach nichts... Ferrari DRÜACHTUNDZWANZIG

 

Hallo Wolfgang
Vielen Dank. Den Motorensound versteht man ja zum Glück in jeder Sprache und das, was die Leute gesagt haben, war auch nicht sooooo wichtig
Kommst Du auch an den Swisscabrioday am 1. Mai? Wir würden dann natürlich auch Hochdeutsch und nicht nur Schweizerdeutsch sprechen
Markus

 

Hallo Markus,
mein Kommentar war natürlich ironisch gemeint
Vielen Dank für Deine Einladung zum Swisscabrioday.
Am 01. Mai geht's leider nicht, der ist leider schon lange verplant.
Ich habe auch leider kein Cabrio , meine Gehilfe ist geschlossen.
Dann wäre da noch ein kleines Problem mit der Schweiz, ich weiß nicht ob mein Lambo da jemals wieder einreisen darf (Frag mal Simon, der weiß mehr dazu). Ich war da mal, mit ein paar Kollegen, etwas zügig unterwegs.....

 

dann beantrage doch ein neues kennzeichen, dann sollten die probleme weitaus geringer sein.
hatte ich auch schon 2 mal gemacht und ich wohne direkt an der CH grenze, fahre aber nur noch ungern durch dieses land wegen dem raubrittertum

denn mit einem ferrari oder lambo ist man da ja schon bei stehendem fahrzeug zu schnell unterwegs

 

Ja, da habe ich auch schon drüber nachgedacht - aber ich liebe mein Kennzeichen HD-VT 1994 seit 2007 so sehr, dass ich es nicht wechseln möchte.
Aber über 10.000,- Euro für ein Ticket, nur weil ich etwas zügig unterwegs war, möchte ich auch nicht bezahlen!!!

 

An jede Grenze hier in der Schwiez, hängt einen Foto von Wolfgang.

Wanted dead or alive

 

Thought I would share this here. Registrations of new Ferraris in Switzerland. Strikingly constant. Wonder if this will change under Marchionne.

The LaFerrari dominates hypercar sales (1 more got registered in January).

Hi fellow Fchatters

My name is Matthias and I'm from Zurich.

I'm looking for a legit car renting company for my dad's 50th birthday.

I was wondering if someone knows a company that's legit and provides good service. It seems there are endless options but not all of them seem that professional.

We are looking to rent for a weekend (Aston, Jag, Ferrari etc.).

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Matthias – Before I bougth my Ferraris I rented one here for about three times and was very satisfied with their services (very straightforward): AVB Reinach - Die Autovermietung in Basel - Auto, Ferrari und Nutzfahrzeug mieten

May be you want to ask Foitek as the official Ferrari dealer in Zurich if he will rent a Ferrari: Garage Foitek AG · Urdorf / Zürich :: Offizielle Ferrari- und Maserati-Vertretung

Hope this helps. I wish your father all the best for his birthday. I turned 50 last year.

Markus

PS: Feel free to send me a PM (in German or English) if you should need any further information. I live in Hedingen which is not so far from Bassersdorf.

 

Markus,

thx for your help. I will have a look at it.

Ferrari weather today here in Bassersdorf

Hello Swiss community

My name is Simon and I live near Baden. I'm eagerly looking forward to getting my new speciale in June, my first Ferrari.

Where's the place to be to meet other Ferrari drivers in Switzerland? There is the Ferrari Club Switzerland and the Ferrari's Owner Club, which has a limitation of membership. Other possibilities?

Thanks for replies.

Welcome Simon, congratulations on the new Speciale.

Markus has posted some links to group get-togethers. Hopefully there will be more info posted here as and when things happen this year.

 

Hi Simone – Welcom to F-Chat and congrats on the new Speciale!!

Where did you buy the car?

As I mentioned in earlier threads there are the following possibilities, I am aware of:
Swiss Cabrio day on first of may (may be too early for your car’s delivery): swisscabrioday? - Open Air Tours? - Cabriolet- & Sportwagen-Touren die bewegen!
Ferrariday: EURO Ferrari DAY - EURO Ferrari DAY - powered by Contrexx Web Content Management System
Open Air tours: Open Air Tours? - Cabriolet- & Sportwagen-Touren die bewegen! - Open Air Tours? - Cabriolet- & Sportwagen-Touren die bewegen!

Although I do not have a spider, special cars with roof are always welcome on Open Air tours.

I life in Hedingen which is quite close to Baden. Feel free to contact me by PM to have a ride together.

Enjoy your new car!!

Markus

 

Thank you for the welcome.

I have bought my car in Urdorf. M. B. is a competent salesman and made all my "Extrawürste" possible.

 

And yes. Hedingen is quite near. I will get in touch with you, when my car is delivered and the first 1000 km are done.

See you!

 

Congratulations on your Speciale Simone.

Gr. Martin
