    I guess there aren't any Ferrari's at this Canary Island??? :(:(:(

    Or are there? Anyone seen one someday?

    I'm asking 'caus that's where I will be for another job within two weeks :D
    But I'm affraid I won't see any Italian beauties over there... With only one single highway from the airport to the capital of Las Palmas on this island the playground for high-performance cars isn't that big!

    It feels a bit like I'll be banned to non-Ferrari-zone for a while... :(;):D
    At least the sun will be there! :cool:

    TWO dealers on this small island??? That's the last I would've expected! (well, actually, I don't expect to see a 250GTO or Enzo fe over there either ;):D)
    But maybe I'll get the change to see some Ferrari's there after all :D

    Still, I think the playground is a bit too small to fully enjoy cars like these! :(
    Anyone ever been to the place or something similar? Thoughts?

    I think that in the lucky islands (canarias) there are Ferraris, but now there are more ilegal inmigrants in small boats than ferraris. regards.

    :)

    There used to be a very small Ferrari showroom in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria... actually part of a Renault dealer... saw it in september 2005...
    Last time I was there the Ferrari signs were gone...
    There should be a dealer in Telde... but I haven't seen that one so far.

    Ferrari's I spotted in Gran Canaria;
    F355 Berlinetta in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
    Testarossa in Playa del Ingles
    360 Modena in Maspalomas
    another 360 Modena on the highway near the airport
