MEGA PICTURE & VIDEO THREAD!

Wow, its like poetry....

*sigh*

F50GT.....F40.....*drooolllll*

 

I was told that this California Spyder was owned by the Man himself. Enzo. Enjoy.

 

I have lots more but i'm sure you guys wont wanna see anymore. I am still traumatized at the fact that I missed the CONCOURSO D'ITALIA in which 125 PLUS Italian cars showed up the day before this event. DAMNNNN DAMN DAMN F@#$$#@!.

Anyways, the fat guy with the Don Johnson wannabe pink-ish shirt, pimping it out in the new Continental GT and the Mayback etc. is yours truly. The Blondish brown-haired dude is none other than Bret Jackson owner of Barrett-Jackson Auctions and the smiley Italian guy is Mr. Luigi Chinetti Jr. Son of Mr. - Ferrari of North America. His Dad was the official F-car inporter in the U.S.A in case you all don't know ;-)

Hope you enjoy my foto's

Awesome!
This being said ... one awesome thing you could do would be uploading the full res pics to some hosting site (free, like msn, or webshots.com or imagestation.com) ... I know I'd love that.
Still some awesome pics!!!

 

Whoa buddy... you are a seriously luck guy to be near all those cars... i envy u to death... it would be my DREAM to be seated in a lambo... or even near 1 of those supercars... i truly envy the owners!

Grant thanks for digging out the pictures from the Toronto show! The owner of the black Daytona had brought along his brand new black 550 Maranello to. The owner of the F50 GT also had the red Daytona Spyder with a black top. The guy that restored the Spyder actually worked on Daytona models back in the early 70's. He was very knowledgeable about them. Do you have any pictures of the F40 models that were there? One F40 was running on it's Italian export plate. A 355 from Cauley (MICH) that was silver on tan was very nice. The owner said the interior color was called 'baseball glove', a great color! There was a wild looking bluish green 275 GTB which really stood out among the red cars.

Sweeeeeeeet.

 

Thanx Everyone! love the pics and info!

 

There are only 3 F50 GT's in the world. Can anyone tell me who brought this one? Very interesting. I still can't believe this car visited us here in Toronto.

hey Vasco, do you own a dealership? Just wondering? thanks

 

I have the shots you are requesting... sort of.. i have a side view of the line of F40s that were there.. whether the Italian plate is there i dont know... also a side view of the silver 355 and a detail shot of the blueish green 275 (only a real closeup of the rear horse & Ferrari insignias). I dont have a scanner here at home so i'll try to get them done on Monday.. i also have a few more of the F50Gt i'll add on as well... it seems to be popular... i think it was Papadoupolous' (sp?) i think he was the only one at the time that had one in America... it tended to show up at the major shows... mighty nice of him...

Grant thanks for the offer of more pictures. MORE is always good! I think it was Art Z. who had the F50 GT there. Greg had his F50 street version on hand which he drove while there.

MORE... including the ones requested...

and more, inluding the silver 355 and the green 275 close up...

did i see more than 2 F40s in the pics??

 

it was a while ago, but if memory serves there was only 2. ...'only' 2... something odd about saying that... ... the 2 were parked together during the show... then, later as the show was breaking up some were driven off to the side awaiting their trailers or transports... and i took another pic because of the less "cluttered" background... the show was laid out according to model pretty accuratly, (see the flock of Daytonas?) so if there was 3 of those marvellous beasts there they would have made sure they were together... anyone not parked "in the display" were parked up the hill next to the Science Centre.. (a show in itself there as well... ran out of film for those...)

Grant very nice! Thank you for more pictures, especially the F40 and THAT silver on tan 355. Just like I remembered it...
