Hey all:
Some may recall my introduction here: I'm in the "education" phase of buying my first Ferrari, and expecting to purchase within the next 9 months.
Y'all have helped me create a short-list, and I've read the buyer's guides on them.

I'm up against a problem right now where the lack of an active club or group in my area has made it difficult to get to know the cars on my list any better. My local dealer is nice, but not really helpful in finding (or even selecting) an older model.

So I'm looking for a group close to me (Denver? Las Vegas? ?) that gets together in a forum where I could visit and get to know the cars a little more.

Are any of you involved in a group like that? And would a "Pre-Owner" be welcome?

Not to be a stickler, but if it'll be useful to me, I need to try to find time with the following models on my short-list:

Mondial
308 / 328
348
Testarossa

Thanks for your help.

Dave Helms in Boulder is probably someone you should talk to. He is an old friend and just from a perspective of someone who sees the work product from your 2 closest dealers he is head and shoulders above them for any assistance you might need. He can also advise you about the club(s) in the Denver area.

His number is 303-938-9000

MT- The Ferrari Club of America, Rocky Mountain Region, is very active and centered out of Denver. They have all kinds of get-togethers and drives through the Rockies that might interest you. John Babos is the regional director and would love to hear from you.

Talk to Ferrari of Denver's Bill Orth.

I bought the TR he owned.

Bill is a great guy, very connected and well-informed re: groups and event.

He may even entice you to race motorbikes.

Tell him I said hello and still have his TR.

And welcome to FL my friend.
