I have been a lurker here for quite some time and have decided that is time to post. I am a fan of everything Ferrari and have been for more than 25 years. I fell in love with these cars as a child and am working diligently to make my ownership dreams come true. On my first trip to Europe, I went directly from the plane, to the train, to the bus (26 hours), just so that I could spend my first night in Europe in Maranello. My wife and I spent several days exploring the town, visiting the Galleria and the Fiorano circuit. I hope to go back someday for a factory tour. Since I couldn't get in I took as many spy photos as I could! I am still saving money and learning more about particular F-cars that I am interested in owning. I am leaning towards an F430 Coupe or Spider. I have owned many convertible cars and really enjoy open top motoring. Time will tell what I end up with. I continue to read and follow many threads in regards to PPI's, mileage driven, current pricing etc. My eyes hurt from reading so much useful information. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who contributes their wealth of information on this site. It has really helped me learn more about the cars that I love. Sorry for the double post. I originally posted this under the lurkers thread, but nobody seems to be looking at that thread anymore. Regards, Mike Image Unavailable, Please Login

Yeah, I always loved that picture. I was standing near a side entrance of the factory taking pictures of several cars that they were testing on the track that day. I looked up and saw the Superamerica on the truck coming out of the factory and headed to another building. The factory guys were pretty nice and let me snap pics of the new unreleased 599 at the time, a modified 612 and multiple F430's. One of the single best days of my life.
