    I just got back from Spa Franchorchamps in Belgium. I joined the European Ferrari 400 club for an event over there. We stayed in an excellent hotel in the Ardennes, near the city of Spa. The cars were parked at a spot reserved for our club. At the circuit the organisation reserved a spot for all our cars near the famous corner "Au Rouge" of the track. We were also allowed on the circuit to drive some laps with our cars, we really enjoyed that part of the event.

    A well organised event and I really enjoyed it, specially the great wines the French club members brought with them.

    Hello kliko312
    I regret that my 400 is not yet restored if one would have met! But it is true that members of the European Ferrari 400 Club are all friendly and help the many new members who need advice and guidance.
    Who is a member here? All 365/400/400i/412 owners are all welcome, european or other countries.

    Dear Jan,


    Thanks a lot for these pictures. I'm so sad I have had a problem for coming, a member should drive me but finally he couldn't come because of his job.
    Continue to share pictures. I need a few to made an article on the website this week.

    Hope meet you very soon

    Best Regards

    NICE! I am thinking about joining too, but with the upcoming emigration I am kind of doubting.

    I really hope the club made a video of it again. The clubmeeting video they made for 2010 kicked @ss.

    Having raced on both the old long Spa circuit (in a Vauxhall Firenza) in the 70's and the new circuit in a Lola FF 2000 in the 80's I just love everything about the circuit except maybe EAU Rouge (red water). I would just ove to have my 400i out on either circuit but preferably the older one!

    My 400i is very close in color to one in your pictures and I have not found what color it actually is. In photo 1880 it is the third from the front and in 1883 it is second from the right. Please check with the owner as to the color name and code. Thanks

    Hi Ken,

    It's a great circuit. You must have had a blast back then in the 70's and 80's!

    I will check with the owner and ask what the color code is of his car, no problem.

    Cheers

    Dear Ken, Dear Jan,

    I can answer for the red color code.
    This is not a rosso rubino color as yours.
    It's a "Peugeot" Color code called "Peugeot Rouge Andalou EJZ"

    But I can tell you we have a rosso rubino 400i in the Club !
    #45963 Ferrari 400i 5-Speed Rosso Rubino/Rosso Monza, converted by Pavesi in 1988.

    Yes, that is the original color of my car. Thanks so much. I have seen a lot of pictures of other models in Rosso Rubino an none looked the same.

    I just noticed your location in Lille. I worked for 2 years in a little town south of you, Wingles. I was at the Monsanto plant which later became BP and later Ineos and now someone else. When I was there Racing Team Lens was second or third division. Was I surprised to hear they won the French 1st Division some years ago. I used to stay at the Grand Hotel in Lens, before getting an apartment in Bethune.

    Ken,

    You're right I arrived in Lille six years ago for studying.
    I'm from Reims, Champagne Area. But I love Lille and I think to stay ad vitam eternam.
    The owner of the Pavesi conversion has made many searches about this Rosso Rubino Color. I'm very interested in (for him) what you get about it.
    I have read all the F-Chat threads and that's how I have found yours was a Rosso Rubino. I told to my friend I had found a sister for his car !

    Please contact me @ : [email protected] if you want to get the mail address of the Pavesi owner.

    I'm very pleased an american guy can situate where I'm living ! I'm not very fond of soccer (football...) but you're right, and I can add that the LOSC (Lille Team) won two big championships one month ago ! Best French Team at the moment !

    Hope you can understand me easily.
    Say Hello to PRANCR !

    Kind regards

    Paul

    Any German members of the club active here at Fchat? On the pics there's a German 400... I need some people familiar with the car to help me with restauration questions and contacts.

    I can also contact the club but so far the homepage is only in French.

    Would be great to find help!

    Hello Flo400 ,
    We are working with German and English versions of the website. Dinopaul and I are part of the European Ferrari 400 Club.
    I also bought a 1977 400 car that I am trying to restore. Ferrarichat but is also a large database on this model. I write to you in MP my email address. Even if I do not understand I translate google translation. I'll share my experience about problems and solutions I found.
    A tip: open the site with google chrome and automatic translation is performed in your language.

    Hallo Flo400,
    Wir sind mit deutschen und englischen Version der Website arbeiten. Dinopaul und ich sind Teil der europäischen Ferrari 400 Club.
    Ich kaufte auch ein 1977 400 Auto, das ich versuche, wieder herzustellen. Ferrarichat ist aber auch eine große Datenbank auf diesem Modell. Ich schreibe, um meine MP-Mail-Adresse. Auch wenn ich nicht verstehen, übersetze ich google-Übersetzung. Ich werde meine Erfahrungen über Probleme und Lösungen, die ich gefunden.
    Ein Tipp: Öffnen Sie die Website mit Google Chrome und die automatische Übersetzung ist in Ihrer Sprache durchgeführt.

    I received your mail Flo400. I respond on weekends because I am in the Dordogne and I pick mushrooms that are hundreds and I take care of my fruit trees! Look how beautiful they are!
