Finally Here From Toronto Ontario

danny1l · 11-15-2011, 12:44 PM

Hello folks, I have finally got my Ferrari. I have waited my whole life for this moment. It's a beautiful black 2006 Scaglietti.

I can honestly say that it is Ferrari that has motivated me to be successful in business. I have been drooling over these cars since I was a teen looking up car mags in 7-11 s. Fueled by inspiration and slushi sugar.

Scarface... First you get the money then you get the power, then you get the women.

My Life at 15.... First you get the money, then you get the Ferrari, then you get the women.

My Real Life... Go to school, Die trying to grow my business, get married, have two kids... then get the Ferrari.

The car is on its way from California I will post pictures as soon as it arrives.

Thank you all for a great Forum.

Danny- Welcome and congratulations. The 612s have proven to be pretty much bullet-proof and go like stink with their big V12. Was hoping you would stick around so we could hear more about your car and get you signed up as an owner.

Hey Danny
Congrats on your new toy! I'm sure the hard work and wait will be worth it. Enjoy the next few days whilst you wait on your new pride and joy. The anticipation is half the fun. It won't disappoint!

Oh.... and welcome to Ferrari Life

danny1l · 11-15-2011, 01:10 PM

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I'll describe my experience when it arrives and take it for a good ride.

tazandjan · 11-15-2011, 01:21 PM

Danny- If you go to ferraridatabase.com, you can download 612 owners manuals and be an expert before the car gets there. Well, at least it will teach you how to use all the switches.

wetpet · 11-15-2011, 01:35 PM

Congrats on jumping in the deep end!. i think i am safe in saying you will not be disappointed. Welcome to f-life and see you in june in montreal!

danny1l · 11-15-2011, 01:43 PM

Thank you so much for the ferraridatabase.com. I have watched Jeremy and the likes of, test drive the Scaglietti a thousand times. I have looked at the Black Novitec 2006 Scaglietti (because that is how I am arranging my car) a thusand times.

The manual to my car while I painstakingly wait.. priceless.

Hope the snow holds out for you! Mine is already hibernating, although we've had incredibly warm weather so far! Congrats.

This was my Air Canada flight to Toronto a couple of months ago.

brettgagnon · 11-15-2011, 06:13 PM

I fly 150,000 miles a year on Air Canada, sure that was not Air Georgian and EVAS flying one of their 18 seater Beech1900s? AC does not fly anything in their regular stable smaller then a regional jet.

champagne612 · 11-15-2011, 06:16 PM

Danny

Well from one Scag owner to another Welcome to FLife

Looking forward to seeing some pictures - Terry is right the 612 never breaks ... well almost never

Be sure to tighten the gas cap all the way until it clicks a few times.

Fun fact - the brakes are the same used on the Subaru cept the Subaru brakes are 1/5th price!

After 14k clutch is still strong as are the brakes - almost no wear! the car is capable of doing it all and doing it well.

The flight designation was AC but you are correct. It was a Georgian Beechcraft. I usually fly on United, Global Services with them. On this particular trip the company waited until 2 days before my trip to buy the tickets so I ended up on Air Canada to Hong Kong via Toronto. It was wierd being the only person on the plane. At the airport I felt kind of special because where the other flights were being announced, when my flight was ready they just came and got me. All the other passengers thought I must be a rock star or something.

Yeah, and I didn't have to listen to the safety briefing over the PA. The pilot came back and she gave me the briefing personally.
