    Now I know why I think modern Ferraris are too big!

    I took my GTS out for a nice run on Saturday to enjoy what could be some of the last great weather this summer. Technically it was the meteorological first day of Autumn (Fall) here but was a lovely 25 deg C. I only took one photo as in spite of being in a lovely little village on what I thought would be a quiet road I was actually dodging quite a bit of traffic so didn't realise I'd managed to spoil it with part of my thumb on the lens :(

    I took my Dino out for a spirited drive today. The revs want to go on forever! I always have to stand back and study the beautiful shape. Pure art standing still AND in motion! Did I mention the sound?

    Today, we took my wife’s friend’s mother out for a great drive through the back roads where we live. She’s 84 years young and truly loves cars! She lived in Topanga Canyon during the 60’s . She loved the Dino! We took it on some high speed runs and she couldn’t be happier! It reminds us how precious time is and what a great time we’re living in! Next time it’ll be in the Super 7!

    It was a wonderful day! It mixed great people, great roads, driving an iconic car (Dino) and great food with friends!

    Great idea, Freeman, and stupendous shots! I took mine out yesterday (sorry, no pictures this time!), possibly for the last time this season in upstate NY. The sun was warm, not hot, the engine was revving freely, and each upshift brought wonderful sounds. It felt great to be alive. We truly have much for which to be grateful. Regards, Fred

    Cambridge UK.... not covered many miles this year, so glad to get out before the cold and salt sets in, which looks like it could start tonight..... will resort to enjoying just looking at it in a warm garage instead, although I won’t be dancing around it like the YouTube clip Tony just posted o_O

    I drove mine the 120 miles up to our home in Gloucestershire where I intend to keep it over the winter. Driving beautifully, as always.:):)

    Briefly reunited with my 550, which is now back in Exeter for some TLC at Carrs.

    Another heartwarming post, Freeman. So nice. Kudos to the elegant lady who keeps her curiosity and enthusiasm for cars and for life. We can all be inspired by such individuals.

    Intriguing photos too, in black and white. They look very film-like and analogue in their grayscale and freedom from grain.

    This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago, but I did drive my Dino past this same place yesterday. I could not resist parking my car next to this cardboard sign at the edge of the road.

    Hadn't driven the Dino in awhile. Fired it up and drove 140 miles nonstop at 70 mph (OK, occasionally faster) and it never skipped a beat. I could have just kept going forever. It was as if an angel was watching over me and the car.
    Wait a minute........!!!!!!! What is that up ahead in the sky? Could it be?
