    With most of the locals down playing in the sun in Palm Beach Joe Mac and I went to hang with the Algar gang at the new almost completed facility. The place looks great and as always everyone there was awesome. Thanks for the tour. The new facilities are first class like the people.
    Playing with the lights and angles and a very nice selection of beautiful cars. Enjoy.

    I was just there a week or so ago for the first time and I was absolutely floored! It looks absolutely fantastico! It looks so elegant and refined now. I've heard that the Ferrari Showroom in NYC is the new "guideline" for all the new "showrooms" in North America. The new Algar showroom is definitely evidence of that, IMO. Beyond all of the obvious things to check out, you all have got to see the new touch-screen, "pedestals" located in front of each Ferrari. Each one is equipped with a thumb-drive that allows it to display that particular Ferrari's info.. I know I have a Ferrari "sickness," but I just thought it was the coolest thing, never seen something like that before. Absolutely bella photos Bob, as usual. Hope everyone has been well.

    Yes , a bit. It is the tri-color yellow and the room was quite dark. Just playing around. I wanted to really show the intensity of the 25 thousand dollar paint. I'll be honest. I fell in love with this paint before actually seeing it in real life and then didn't like it as much in a darker sort of storage room. The more I reflect on it now and work with the photos, the more I like it again. I can only imagine how spectacular it would look cruising through the dark cornfields winding through Amish country in the evening light.

    Sorry guys, I've been without my car for two months and I'm at the edge of the precipice if you know what I mean.

    BTW The lights over the 599 don't appear yellow in real life either, but the blue daylight coming in the windows turns most of the light blue with the warmer light from the large lightbox in the ceiling really flatters the cars. This is a very sophisticated lighting design for the building and works very well.

    Bob

    Nice work Brett! LOL

    Sometime in the next 2 or 3 weekends I'm having a slotcar race weekend.

    Bob,

    It would be interesting to post the original version of the red 599 and yellow 458 pictures as they were taken by the camera - the images before any post-processing was done to the photos on the computer.

    The new showroom is excellent, though my visit proved to be costly :)

    Yeah Brett, what Ferrari? You're still keeping the Spyker, I imagine, or not?
