    After 4 months of waiting, I picked up my new 550 last night in Seattle. We head down the PCH today and will be in Carmel-By-The-Sea for car week before shipping it back to the east coast. We’ll be at Concorso on Saturday should anyone wish to shake hands and tell stories.

    It’s a 2001 in TDF/Cuoio. Daytona seats, FHP, and the handy fire extinguisher are the options. ~26,750 miles and was well cared for.

    If it’s along the way for you…..Tomorrow Sunday at 9am a bunch of us are getting together at 9am at Peets in Los Gatos at the base of the Silicon Valley. DM/conversation with me for the address if interested.

    Nice way to get the owner tag to have a handful of guys vouch for you from Fchat in real life.

    Congrats! That’s a heck of a way to get acquainted with that beautiful machine. Enjoy it in good health!

    I second @Ferrari55whoa’s comment: hopefully you can make it tomorrow in Los Gatos for a nice meet up/drive with a great group of 550/456 owners. My 550 will be in for annual service, so I will bring something else from the stable. Hope to see you there.

    it's obvious that it's a dream to drive.
    v12 naturally aspirated, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, horse on the hood. what do we do best? enjoy it, cars like that will never be there again

    Looks fantastic! I'm about 6 weeks into owning a 99 Blu Pozzi/Bordeaux and of course love it. You're in SC? I'm in NC. What part of SC? I'm driving it on a rally this coming weekend and we'll be in Charleston I think on Saturday.

    I’m in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. Ironically, it was your very car that kicked off my desire for a blue 550. I was at the Radnor Hunt concourse and it was entered in the “Ferraris That Are Not Red” class. When I learned that it was available, I was already in negotiations to buy this one.

    Congrats and enjoy!
    May I ask where you got it from? Did you ship it in from overseas or get it locally in California?
    Cheers, and keep sending the pictures!

    Ferrari of Seattle. It’s been with a friend in that area until my wife and I could fly out and pick it up. We’ll ship it back East after Car Week.
