    Our dealer (Cauley) hosted a premier showing last night; rented the entire section of a local theater for Ferrari owners only, also had private parking. First class (as is everything they do)

    This is a must-see, must-own movie. There is something for everyone. Most who attended had read the read, that is next on my list.

    I haven't seen it yet, but I've spent quite a bit of time hanging out with Don Kitch Jr and his dog Enzo in the last year at the track. Can't wait to check out the movie.

    Posted in Collectables, Literature and Models section, I too went to the Ferrari Dealer showing.
    Read the book. The movie was worthwhile. Dogs, Ferrari’s and racing. The shots of the Testarossa on the track were very cool.
    It’s not Academy Award material, but for car junkies and dog lovers, worth the time.

    My research shows that the Ferrari driven on the track with Enzo the dog was a 375 MM spider 1953. Sothebys shows one went at auction for over $9 million. Ciao Bella!

    My wife thought the 488 was gorgeous.

    How did they get a shot of the new F8 in the movie. It just came out. It is clear to me that SF gave full cooperation in the making of this film. Forza Ferrari

    Living in Seattle, I especially enjoyed the local scenery, including familiar tracks. I believe the 488 hot lap was at Mission Raceway, just over the border in British Columbia and Enzo's laps in the "250TR" were at Pacific Raceway (aka Seattle International Raceway). I agree that there was something for everyone in the movie - wonderful story with a great ending.
    Ciao

    I read the book several years ago when it came out. I think my Kindle recommended it to me. I will have to re-read it prior to seeing the movie. :)

    I read the book, serendipitously, on a Med cruise on my way to Maranello almost exactly 10 years ago. Memorable book, very memorable trip.

    My little town has no theatre, so I'll content myself with waiting for the Bluray.

    Read the book about ten years ago, loved it because of the story line and I've raced on most of the tracks he mentions in the book.

    Wife just saw it on a flight to NJ, she wept through most of it she said since she knew the ending.
