    I never heard about Bridgestones on a F12 or someone who have experience with them on this car.

    I know the MPSS from F12, BMW X6M and M6 Cabrio in different sizes and for daily use with high speeds, cornerings on twisty roads and wet conditions I could highly recommend them.

    I have run several sets of them for approx 100k Km on these cars.

    I am sure Karl will you a very good price compared to Foitek. I am not interested in saving the last rappen, but 500 or 300 simply cannot be ignored.

    I like Foitek, I bought 2 Ferraris from them. But when they offered me 2 new rears for the 328 fitted for 790chf, I smiled and said I'll think about it :)

    I agree with you there, and when they offered me 2 new rears for the 360 for over 1000 chuffs, I smiled and said I will think about it :) Ended up popping across the border and buying the exact same tires for half the price. Same price as ReifenDirect.ch but you get 19% vat back, so best option for me, as I live close to the German border.

    As for Romanshorn, really looking forward to checking them out.

    who wants to get together to go to Aarberg on coming Sunday morning ?

    There will be some cars from Ticino and some from Zurich Area.... who wants to join us ??? We could setup some meeting points based on where everyone comes from.

    The weather should be ok...not o lot of sun but dry... (NO RAIN)

    Is this only a meeting or some nice driving fun, too?
    Maybe I'll join from Zürich area with my wife.

    Best regards,
    Phil

    Hi,
    I plan to go to Aarberg on Sunday - I may stay there for the display only, and rather not join the trip around the lake in the afternoon. It would be nice to meet e.g. in Egerkingen at the McDonalds. Would be good to arrive in Aarberg about 0900h to 0930h. So I would propose 0830h in Egerkingen...any thoughts?

    Saw something interesting today. A white Alfa C4 was parked in Saint-Prex and for sale.

    Curiously enough, it said that this particular model was a "Competizione" with 300hp. Price was not actually listed, only on a "call for more" written on it. 1400km's under her belt.

    Now... isn't the Competizione a variant you can get with the C8, or was this someone trying to boost up the standard C4 (which comes with 240hp if I'm not mistaken) as a sort of track car but in a street cars body?

    Must still be very fast, but in case anyone ends up in that neck of the woods, worth a peek... (Route de Morges #20, next to a Coop gas station if I'm not mistaken).

    Hi Heikki


    All 8C Alfas were called the 8C Competizione.
    There is no official 4C Competizione. I'm guessing they have chipped it to increase the power and re-named it themselves.

    It is NOT a public event.
    Minimum level is owning a LaFerrari.
    Owning a mundane F12 is not enough.
    This is the reply I received.

    Wow. A bit sad. So there is no way a working stiff like me who saved up for his car, for many years, can join, because it is a red 360 Spider?

    Half a million dollar F12 is not good enough?

    I say "mutiny" :) We are the people who actually enjoy these cars. **** you supercar club of Switzerland.

    There even is a 'not good enough' Ferrari FF in their advert.
