    You are correct, that was me at Moorespeed with the red TR up on his wrack. FoH is repairing the right rear and while they have the car I'm having the rockers and the front spoiler painted red to match the car instead of being black. When I get it back to Austin Moorespeed is going to put new tires on some new wheels for me.

    Ahhh! yes, while it looked like a dimple in the rear, it seemed to be a bit more involved since it was part of the entire rear quarter panel.

    Good to hear about the tires too. A big *whew* over here. I believe Kinesis & HRE can make wheels with the single spline hubs if you are looking to upgrade. Not cheap though.

    Kelly,
    If your TR was just at Moorespeed, it may have crossed paths with mine. Just finished spending five grand to get a slow down light to turn off. Other than that, I did enjoy my time with Dave. He was fun to dig around the engine compartment with.

    I've seen your car around town but I don't recall seeing it at Moorespeed while I was there. You are right about Dave, he has been one of the better components of Ferrari ownership for me. I sought him out before I committed to purchase a Ferrari and try to own in in Austin. I found him on this Web site.

    I was at 6th and Lamar today near Whole Foods and noticed that the used car lot across the street from them now has three Ferraris for sale. They have the red 348 that they rent plus they now have a yellow 348 Spyder and a black 308. Has anyone looked at those cars yet? I didn't have time to stop. Just curious.

    Actually, we split from the old owner of Team Motorsport, and the lot is divided up by the row of old Mercedes SLs. (We are 3-D Motorsports and Sweet Rides, having now condensed into the Sweet Rides building). The Ferraris that the guys have next door are crap. The black 308GTS is one that he, (the owner), sold a couple of years ago, and several others belong to one of his friends. They are not in good mechanical condition. We don't sell cars anymore, so I'm just being honest. The owner over there has a history of having low-quality F-cars.

    Is that what it was? I was driving at around 10pm on toro canyon road two nights ago, and saw something fly past me in the other lane that looked like a 612, but i didn't know if anyone around here had one. Then again, thats Michael Dell's street, but i don't think he has one.

    Thanksgiving day. I took the TR for a spin around Lake Travis to dry it off from a good washing and came across a black 360 Spyder near the Oasis. What a glorious sound, two Ferrari's accelerating from zero to ??? in opposite directions. Mine sounded better of course...

    ....That probably didn't notice the black Range Rover in front of him as he turned into Davenport Village had Ferrari license plate holders.

    Impressive burst of speed & sound just prior to the 360 bridge!

    Red 348 on 620 at an Anderson Mill at noon yesterday. That is the first 348 that I have seen in Austin in quite a while.

    Saw (possibly the same) Red F355 F1 with rear challenge grill parked around Hang Town & other venues today around noontime.

    Also, around 3pm, a red 360 spyder at the Barton Creek Hotel.

    Hey everyone, I'm new here :D

    I live in Barton Creek, on the Foothills Course, I've seen many 360's,355's and a 456 at the Country Club. There's a red 355 Spider(I believe it's a spider not 100% though), a Red 575M F1 (Saw it againt today, gorgeous) at St. Andrews. Also, after visiting autostrada a few months ago (my dad was test-driving an esprit), a man there had mentioned a Enzo here in austin...Haven't seen it, but if it were for real, that'd be pretty darn awesome. I believe he had said yellow...Oh, and there was also a red testarossa in the service department, and last weekend in seattle i saw a red F50 and a bazillion other nice F's and some maser's (my dad is buying a GS hopefully)...i suppose that part isn't austin though.

    Welcome! If you'd like to be made regularly aware of all the Ferrari events in Austin, drop me a PM, with your email address, and I will put you on my "list".

    FYI, we have an informal breakfast this Saturday morning at 9 at LaMadeline, Loop 360 & Bee Caves...right near where you live. Afterwards, weather permitting, some folks may take a nice hill country drive.

    Cool...but I might've forgot to mention...I'm 14 LOL,but have excessive love for cars and ferraris and maseratis in particular. And right now, my dad (who normally loves to go to these type of things) is in absence of a sports car. He just sold his old Jaguar XKR Arden Lightweight (starting to not run much at all...reliability was a big issue) to buy a Porsche Cayenne BiTurbo. He bought the Cayenne because he needed to replace his Jag immediately, and there was nothing on the market he liked. Now, he's looking at buying a Maserati GranSport, or a Panoz Esperante GT-LM and my mother will recieve the cayenne. But, nevertheless, he wouldn't have a sportscar to bring.

    Oh, and by the way, trust me, I've been trying to get him to get a Ferrari...but no luck :( They are a little out of his car-budget and he can't drive one to roundrock every day :(.

    Yeah, LaMadeline is right near my house. Thanks for letting me know about this meet. You all planning to drive through BC? I wouldn't mind seeing some nice ferraris and what not saturday morning :D lol.

    I just realized that my screenname my be confusing lol, it wasn't meant as '99 355F1, it's 99-3-55 which for somereason is a number i use a lot, idk why. And F1...I really like F1 racing :)
