FOC's "Mille Miglia Trophy 2006"

Arrggghhhh, mine has been in the shop for three weeks getting a major service done. Missed this one. Should get it back on Monday.

 

Well, from Spring 2006 to date I registered:
- Boxer: 3,992 km (2,480 miles) Mainly from the east coast trip in June
-308GTS QV: A shamefull 393 miles. What a waste of an oil & filter change.
Total: 2,873 miles.

Don't bet on anyone yet. UPS will deliver my new tires to Continental tomorrow. I'll then pick the car up, and photograph the tach. Will be about 6K miles for 7 months of ownership.

 

Man, I wish we had this contest when I bought the 308 4 years ago. I think I put 14,000 miles on the first year! This year on the TR I have something like 3K miles.

 

Hey Dr. K, I put my money on you in post #6; doesn't look like you let me down!! Glad you enjoyed the car this summer!!

 

Put the car away this weekend with ~980 miles.

 

When I drove to Pebble Beach in 2004, I still didn't drive that many more miles for that year. Just don't have the time to go any place. Now that I have a Vette too, I drive it for a lot of the trips I would have driven in the 308. I am having mail sending problems with my primary computer. I have just gotten my old backup computer up and running. Drove the Ferrari for the last time this year yesterday.

Thanks, Andreas for the support, but I didn't drive with the two 599s on the Panamerican 20,000 this year.

Thanks, Mike

Hope all is going well. Still waiting for the car; should get it back from Continental tomorrow.

(I always remember what Queen Victoria said.)

Yes I drove with Dave to Virginia, and I also drove to Manhattan one day too while I was on that trip.

(Actually, I drive in "dog miles" so it is more like 23,000 miles of driving this year, but I know the rules - no "dog miles".)

Here's the odometer reading. However, as I let my membership to FOC lapse, I may not be eligible for the "prize." This was 7 months worth of ownership.

Since I wasn't able to attend the Christmas party this year, I am now a bit confused. Was Drgek disqualified for not having his membership up to date? Did one also have to be present at the party to be considered for the award?

Norbert

 

I was also a tad unclear on the concept, but Andreas' original post did specify it was for a club member, so that would leave me out at this point. FOC's motto is "We Drive." I guess I just drive more

 

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you do drive a lot. You are a lucky Ferrari owner indeed!
Do you have an F1 transmission for ease of gear selection?

You may have answered one of my questions.

Norbert

 

I specced out the F1 after much consideration, and a chance to drive a CS. They have evolved quite a bit over the years. I've also specced out an F1 in a 599.

 

I'd love to see how the F1 feels in a newer model Ferrari. Only used it in a 360, 355, and GranSport. From what I hear the 599's shifts are nearly flawless.
