For Scuderia GTO members....

I guess you cant really call this work, well I dont find it taxing in the least, usually I spent most Saturday mornings washing one GTO, not a bad way to start a weekend, akin to spending time with a supermodel.

Today was different this is what greeted me....

To say this was a pretty awesome sight at 8am on a Sat morning is an understatement, friend and I have spent some time getting this garage just right and yes there is still some work to do but this morning it just looked perfect.

These cars are twins, well in the sense that they have sequencial chassis numbers and the fact the spec is identical apart from the one having a red rev counter and the other having a yellow one...

After I had cleaned them both, headed down to the beach front area for some breakfast and following these two, well the chaos that followed them, kids screaming, people clapping, the sound of the V12s in narrow city street probably ensured everyone for some distance was woken up...

Parking, well thats never easy at this venue, well not today as the valet was only too happy to have both parked out front as we went to the establishment next door. Traffic slowed, kids posed for pictures, adults posed for pictures and it was just nice to see what effect these cars have on people and how much they are appreciated.

I am still working on getting a larger gathering of GTO's together down here and possibly getting these two to the Mille Miglia next year.

Some more pictures

Now thats a line up!

Hoped to spend the day enjoying my "Sunday...ehr Sat cruiser" as well Sadly, the weatherman lied--been a steady, drizzle all morning . Guess there is always tomorrow!

Looks a great time and glad you were able to truly enjoy.

Btw: I've been "discussing" the merits of Ferrari GTO ownership with a few McMutts on the Italia forum over past day or so. Zealots apparently, all . Seems they are but Ron Dennis clones, failing to understand there is more to a performance sports car than simple clinical number.

However, if ever there was a better example of the passion, history, style and value inherent in the brand, I've not seen it. Fantastic garage and look, beautiful cars and day!
Forza, Scuderia GTO

 

what an amazing site! love the GTO pair

 

Agreed, but its pointless debating with the Mac fans, afterall once you have experienced that GTO V12 no V8 can ever compare. There is much more to life than numbers.

Thanks for the kind comments about the garage!

 

Especially like this one:

What a great way to spend your Saturday.

Forza Scuderia GTO!
