Funny Ferrari Stories

LOL
o.k., here comes my 328 story:

Police bus with 5-6 police rookies and her commander (teacher) pulled me with the spoon.
Full police control program followed in order to show the young police officers how to treat a F-driver properly
(I did nothing wrong and the car was all right - according to the law)
After many questions and checks on the paperwork he pointed onto the 328
front hood with his finger and asked me to open the engine compartment
because he wanted to check the VIN :-/
Hmm, nice assist, I thought
So I took all my courage together and let him search the engine under the
front hood I opened - hahah, no engine, no VIN hahaha ... All the young
police academy people laughed with hand over the mouth, hihihi
My buddy had to hold his stomach ...
Some seconds later I could bring some light in his dark existence:
"Ähhhm, chief, I remember the motor is here under the rear bonnet ..."
He said: "Öhhh, äähhh, aaahh, ooohhh, beautyful!"
(face like Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun)

Funny day, I was relaesed free.

Brilliant stories guys!! Keep them coming MARK

 

In 1990 I bought the then newly introduced MR2 MkII. I got the first red one in South Bavaria Toyota territory. Being mad about Ferraris, I fitted 5-spoke wheels similar to Campagnolos, put all original Ferrari badging on, even converted the rear valance to 348 style grille.

A few months later I got stopped in Munich by the Polizei for a spot check. The policeman took the vehicle papers and circled the car about three times. He then pronounced very seriously "I'm going to have to charge you for being in possession of a forged vehicle!"

Who says German police have no sense of humour?

 

more stories guys !

What about the famous effect on girls ? don't tell me you never used it ??

 

Ja! "a Preiß is nice, but a Bayer is higher"

 

OK, here's one of mine.....

At the end of last year there was a break in the weather and I though it would be a good time to start the long "wash and Zymöl" process. I washed my 328 down at my local "jet wash" bay and then drove back to the driveway into our complex where I spent a couple of hours polishing the back-right-hand quarter of the car. Debs came out to bring me a cold drink and to check on progress.

While she was there, two guys in an old 5-series BMW drove into the driveway, heading to the apartment complex next door to ours. The two developments share a common driveway, and where the road leaves "our" section and goes into "their" section, it ramps up at a fairly sharp angle. To give you an idea of how steep it is, I would not be able to drive up there with the 328.

So there I was, leaning over the back of the car polishing the right rear fender, when the 5-series pulls up next to my car. I look up and take in some of the details of the car - full "aero kit", spoilers, big mags, low-profile tyres, drain-pipes for exhausts, "bubbles" on the windows, sound system taking up the entire rear of the car, sub-woofers strong enough to start a tsunami, aero skirts around the sides of the car, tinted glass windows, metallic flake paint job, lowered suspension....the works! You get the picture....a real pair of British Gentlemen in a really classy car!

They looked at the Ferrari & looked at me. I looked at them. The driver glared back, the Beemer's RPM started rising dangerously, and the next thing I knew he had dropped the clutch in a cloud of spinning tyres. This kid was determined to show me who had the meanest car in town. The hip-hop blaring from the car's tortured speakers was drowned our by the injured scream of the mutant engine that had apparently escaped quality control at the factory in Bavaria!

The car leapt violently towards the ramp and I watched an incredible scene unfold in front of me, almost in slow motion. The front spoiler and air splitter contacted first, crumpling into the asphalt. It buckled under the car, the glass fibre ripped under the pressure and the whole nasty contraption broke off and disappeared under the vehicle. The left tyre kicked it up and, as it came out from under the car, it tore off one of the cars side aprons!

The charming occupants didn't stop, didn't look back and sheepishly parked their car. The driver obviously did not want to show his face, and sent his friend back to pick up the ravaged pieces of the once noble BMW! I have seen neither them nor the 5-series again.

Sad but true...

Hi Wolfgang,

I have my own version saved in MS Word in my "Creative Writing" database. It certainly has more detail than the one I posted here. I am trying to change my image as a data junkie and so for public consumption, I edited out all the specifics!
