Aperta music almost equals the sound of a CGT with semi-open exhaust.
and they finally fixed the ride on the 599 chassis, its now comfortable and nice without being firm nor squeeshy.

wetpet · 12-19-2011, 06:50 AM

any explanation of the pictures?

tazandjan · 12-19-2011, 07:08 AM

John- Great photos. The Aperta looks great and it is nice to see a RHD Daytona without the silly bumper bars.

tazandjan · 12-19-2011, 11:15 AM

John- What gives with all the Pirelli decals on the sides of normal street cars in Asia? Do they get a discount on tires for applying the decals or is there another reason?

Barry · 12-19-2011, 11:41 AM

Some amazing pics John. Thanks for sharing them.

Like Ed said, whats the story behind them?

Jimmy Chen Shiba DDS · 12-19-2011, 02:38 PM

Where is the location of those pics ? Great pics, of course, John. w/ smiles Jimmy

Hi Taz,

I believe the Daytone RHD belongs to DM18 in HK. I think he has lent it to Ferrari for some roadshows in China, so I guess that is what the event is too.

Paul- Thanks, it is a really nice one.

In fact he says in a post in the HK Exotics Spotting in Asian section of "*Chat" a couple of days ago...."Haven't seen my Daytona for about 9 months. I lent it to Ferrari for 3 months for the travelling museum and the itinerary expanded! Miss that car in the cool dry weather - perfect Daytona conditions"

I am guessing Shanghai.

Paul- Offhand I would say they are beholden to him. Probably good enough for a spot on the Enzo replacement list.

johns930 · 12-19-2011, 07:02 PM

we did a rally and pirelli was a sponsor so we all had it, and some did not bother to take them off after.
pics were from gatherings and drives and some errands that i did this month.
I, muah, post pictures and have to explain what they are??!!

that daytona is really awesome and its here for the ferrari rolling road show, but people here in taiwan really dont know the significance of this model, except me of course

i have lots more pics of it from Chang, but didnt really wanna fill this page up, but this is for u Taz....

tazandjan · 12-19-2011, 09:11 PM

John- Thanks. It is certainly in better shape than mine was.

Curious about the decals and that answered it. Did they throw in a Pirelli calendar in the deal?

Thank You, Paul. By the way, I believe you can feel free to say FerrariChat here since nobody would be offended or x'd out or deleted, unlike the other way around. thanx again. w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy Chen Shiba DDS · 12-19-2011, 11:16 PM

Thanx for the beautiful pics, johns930. Taiwan makes sense since the background seemed quite tropical. I suppose it has toured several places in SouthEast Asia. Thanx again. w/ smiles Jimmy
