The Swiss Thread

Hi all. I also just bought my first Ferrari last week. It is a 360 F1 2004, red, with Km 20.000 on the clock.

I bought it from Carstar AG in Freienbach. It came with a 12 month warranty from SuisseFox (Fox2). Anyone have any experience with this garage or guarantee given?

I am a complete novice when it comes to Ferraris and F1 shifting, so I am at the beginning of the learning curve.

I live in Zurich (unterland).

 

Hi William Tell

Congrats on your new car!

While I don’t know anything about Carstar AG in Freienbach or SuisseFox I have more than 100 000 km experience with F1 gearboxes. Feel free to contact me if you have any question. I live in Hedingen so that should not be too far away where you live.

Markus

PS: Du kannst mir gerne eine PM (Personal Message) schreiben mit Deiner Mailadresse. Ich habe vor einiger Zeit mal für das Deutsche Maserati Forum meine „Weisheiten“ zum Fahren mit Sportwagen (inkl. F1-Getrieben) geschrieben. Wenn Du willst, schicke ich sie Dir gerne zu.

 

Congratulations! Vielleicht einige Bilder dazu?

For those who did not see the articles over the week-end, some (37) members of the lower house of Parliament finally decided to take action to undertake a revision of Via Sicura, under the leadership of Fabio Regazzi. Long road ahead, but it is the most specific and credible effort to restore some proportionality in the punishment of speeding offenses.

Here you go. F360 Spider, 2003 model, 20500km. Paid 75K for it.
This is my first Ferrari - and it is an insane drive. Really enjoyed the car today.

What a beauty. Congratulations.

 

Beautiful (and fast) car! Congrats!

Where did you buy this car (at which dealer)?

Let us know when your car has arrived. Maybe we can go for a spin together.

Markus

 

Thanks!

The dealer is Foitek in Urdorf. The car should arrive in approx. 3 weeks, an almost endless lapse of time...

And yes, after I got accustomed to the car, I would appreciate to take a trip together, as Hedingen is quite near.

 

Amazing car!

I will join you guys on a trip, I live in Zuri Unterland, so not that far away. My 360 will look like a Fiat next to yours

 

That’s a great idea, William!

Well, all our cars are Fiats

There's an English proverb which says: Three's a crowd. Well, it'll be a noisy one.

 

Easy solution, make it more than 3

Keep us informed if you organise something. I'm in AR, only an hour from Züri

 

Another English proverb says: The more the merrier

We should organize a Swiss FerrariChat drive this summer. Stelvio pass anyone?

 

If you need a photograph....

 

I am in!

Maybe we could start just somewhere around Zurich for a first drive together and then plan a "real" tour (Stelvio or similar).

It would be great if you join us. As per your profile you don’t have a Ferrari but you are welcome as my passenger.

Markus

 

Thanks Marcus!
Yes, no Ferrari in my garage at this time, but my wife drive a Lotus so we could follow you with a nice pleasure too!
Of course, your invitation should be great for me!
Waiting for details here

 

Great! So let’s wait until anubis got delivery of his new car and then plan a tour.

Markus

 

Yellow fits the Speciale very well! Congratulations, I got mine in May 14. You will enjoy this great car for sure.

I live near Lucerne at the Vierwaldstättersee, always happy to hook up with some other owners for a drive around Rigi .

 

Great thread - antonio in Zurich - we should plan a trip around CH in the summer? Some other top notch guys near zurich (not sure if they've dropped by already Marcus and Tariq).

 

Maybe should have read behind before asking about Markus! Hope you re doing well! When is the next trip happening. (;

 

Great to hear from you Antonio! I hope you are doing well.

What about to meet once every month somewhere near Zurich? We could meet, drink a cup of coffee, talk about our cars (and other cars as well) and have a nice trip afterwards?

So far we have the following guys
- Antonio (dias7777): F430 [Zurich]
- Tariq (Silber): F512M [Zurich]
- David (leopard881): 308 [Basel]
- Dimo (will ask the boyfriend of my daughter if he wants to join us): 348 [Zurich]
- Remo (a friend of mine, will ask him too): 348 [Zurich]
- Simon (anubis): Waiting for his Speciale to be delivered in June [Baden]
- Simon (Simon): 328
- William (William Tell): F360 [Zurich]
- Jacky_F40: Lotus (and photographer)
- Christoph (chrixxx): Speciale [Lucerne]
- Markus (Elsi): 512TR/575M [Zurich]

What do you think? Are others also interested?
Does anybody know a restaurant with a good parking place near Zurich/Aargau where we could meet (I don’t like “Fressbalken” in Wettingen…)?

If you guys are interested I will organize a first meet on April, 26th or May 3rd.

Hi, anyone living in Ticino with a 550?
