    Nope, don't think you're wrong. That seems correct.

    348FTW, nice pics! I'd love to go to Kulu sometime, but I doubt they'd let me anywhere near the doors.

    PS: 200th post

    PPS: I was in San Francisco a little while back, and saw some nice cars. I've got a few pics, but I missed a lot of them (saw a DB9 Volante at nice... gorgeous, but an impossible photo oppertunity).

    1. I'm 16
    2. On their website, it says you need to make an appointment.

    I'd really love to go. But I think that those 2 problems would obstruct it. Who knows, though? I might go in a couple weeks, or some time. We'll see.

    Do you mind if I borrow that line as well? My boss has been telling me about your shop for quite awhile and I would like to check it out myself.

    What's this thread doing way down here?

    ---

    I was working yesterday, and it was hella great. Black (dk. grey?) Mercedes SL65 AMG pulled up outside the TD bank at North Hill. The passenger got out, and returned 5 minutes later with some coffee from Starbucks in Safeway. Just as they were about to pull away, some guy in a dark blue 911 Turbo blocked them in as he was trying to turn left. I practically drooled. I know, I know... I'm easily amused.

    I saw that, too. I wonder how much business they'll really get. I mean, I'm not expecting Honda West levels of business, but I think they'll be pretty busy. I hope they will. I love the Flying Spur.

    He's not a good salesman? Slimy? Difficult to work with? Or are you saying "ew" because of a lack of his personal hygeine?

    The first batch of GTCs were probably allocated to the existing dealers.

    Saw one in MCL's show room; looked nice, but now the back end looks extra fat!

    Heard from a VERY reputable source that another Enzo is on it's way to Calgary via Florida.

    Has anyone else heard this? Brim? ;)

    Hello fellow Ferrari Enthusiasts,

    I am a new member to Ferrarichat and just wanted to introduce myself on the Alberta thread. My name is David Strashok, I am 18 years old and over the past few years I have developed a great appreciation for exotic sports cars. I remember witnessing my first Ferrari spotting in the Shawnessy Future shop parking lot. With the excitement of seeing a Ferrari 360 Modena for the first time just meters away from me, I admired the car while waiting for the owner in hopes of seeing the car in motion. Once I met the owner who was very nice, he started telling me about his Ferrari mentioning that it had a straight exhaust and how he was taking it to Las Vegas soon. Afterwards as he started the car all I can remember was the loud sweet sound and not believing my eyes at the sight of fire coming from the quad exhaust. From that moment on I knew I wanted one of these and was willing to do what it takes to acquire one. I’ve heard of the Ferrari meets on Saturday mornings at the Shawnessy Second Cup and with summer approaching I was wondering where and when future meets will take place as I would be very interested in seeing these works of art up close.
