The Swiss Thread

Some pics from our yesterday’s tour though the Swiss alps (Susten, Grimsel, Nufenen, Gottardo, Oberalp). Some rain some sunshine and nearly no traffic. Was a great day!

Nice pics Markus, thanks.

BTW, what are you doing out on a Monday? Get back to work

 

Thanks Simon. We are back to work. Right now…

Very nice, thank you for sharing the pics. I wish I could have joined you.
Cheers!

We do have some great roads here in Switzerland, most of them sadly (for me) on the eastern end. The plateaus here in Geneva/Lausanne area are a bit too flat

 

Ferrari specialist Patrice Walter and his restoration shop WHS Walter Historic Sports cars in Bachenbülach (near Zurich Airport) celebrated their open house today. Lots of clients and friends with interesting Ferraris attended and in the shop there was a Daytona Spider, a 330 GTC, and two 365 GTC/4's, plus some other great machinery. Here are a few pix.

I'm already in St Moritz now and would love to join you...no F12 but have GTC4L with me

 

Fine nice to have you again in our group! I'll send you a message for meeting time in Samedan...we will be on time this year! LOL

 

Hello,
I have been grinding my teeth on a tricky problem on my 355 F1 and am looking for a fellow swiss 355 F1 owner who would be willing (against compensation of course) to help my mechanic isolate the root cause by a simple and quick part swap.

The suspected defective part is no longer available as spare in official and semi-official channels so not an easy case to resolve.

Contact via pm most appreciated.
Thanks !

 

from Today until 28 August there is a Ferrari exhibition in a tent next to the Hotel Kulm

18 - 20 August passione engadina classic
25 - 27 August passione engadina tribute Ferrari

all information on the facebook site
including a 2 minute video from the tent

https://www.facebook.com/PassioneEngadina/?ref=page_internal

 

I just drove by that an hour ago.....too cool....going to head there tomorrow

 

end of show is 27 August and not 28 sorry

 

Hello

I plan to be in the area the 15th
Can you let me know where you will be having lunch
Thanks

 

We are stopping for lunch at Agriturismo Rini in Bormio, arrival between 12 and 1 PM depending on traffic. Are you joining us on the Stelvio? what car do you have?

 

How about visiting another Ferrari shop that has an F1 355 in-house and let them do the parts swap to isolate the cause? I guess you're currently using an independent mechanic?

If I wasn't working on Tuesday, a Stelvio pass run would have been fun.

 

I plan to drive from Belgium to Bergun on Monday in the 348
Tuesday morning via Pontresina and Livigno to Bormio
So partially yr route
After lunch to the Stelvio of course

 

We are going to meet F12kid in Samedan at 10.45/11.00 at Shell Tankstelle Route San Bastiaun 55,(46.531260,9.874128) , if you want we can catch there and you join our convoy. Please let me know if I should book lunch for you with us....would be great!

regards

The point is to have the part swap done by an experienced mechanic, not DIY.
I went both to an independent and an official Ferrari service shop. Neither have identified a candidate so far. V8 owners can be picky beyond belief, thinking they have acquired a christian relic.

 

We (Ferrari Drivers Club) have organized a driving course on Saturday, September 30th on the small race track in Lignières (including 2 instructors). So far we are 6 cars but need to be 12 to have the track exclusively for us.

Who would like to join us? For more information please see the PDF-flyer below.

Feel free to send me a PM.
