I took 275 out today for a ride to a seaside restaurant for lunch. What do you know, I finally took out my cam and took videos of the ride. The problem is that I have no idea how to upload to my PC and Youtube.
Oh well. w/ smiles Jimmy

Until I figure out how to upload videos/ youtube, here's few more pics taken yesterday. w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy- Really pretty. Funny, when I looked at where the wipers were parked, I thought it was RHD, when it obviously is not. Will have to reorient my thinking.

Thanx, Taz. As for my idiosyncrancy, not that it has anything to do with the topic, I am a lefty in sports, meanwhile, my right is for writing and other delicate chores. w/ smiles Jimmy

Thanx for the offer, Boxer. The problem is, my PC is pretty full and I cannot seem to upload the videos. I shall try to figure a way around this first. w/ smiles Jimmy

Stunning. The color, the shape, utter beauty. Just looking at the pictures makes one's day, driving it must be a mindblowing experience over and over again. Complements.

Thank You, elentinos. I just uploaded youtube videos that you can see (with help from others). Hope you like them.

This 275 was made for the roads of Europe. w/ smiles Jimmy

Countdown,...not many days left with my 275 ....very mixed emotions going on inside. Few pics from yesterday.... w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy, you look great in the 275 and the 275 fits perfectly around you ! Sad times indeed......!
Will at least the future owner share his experience on FL with your 275 alloy ?

Hi Jimmy, I have just 'discovered' this thread: modello bellissimo !!! With all their HPs and high-tech gadgets, the latest generation Ferraris, sadly, are no longer able to match this timeless elegance. The 250 SWB is another of those immortal models.

ciao
Mauro

+1 and thank you for the kind words, Mauro. Indeed, as you say 250 SWB is one of the dream cars, but requires too much money and I am not in that league.

Have you seen the latest issue of EVO. Great article on all the Ferrari front engined V12s from the 275 GTB thru 599 GTB. The 275 GTB came out very well.

Unfortunately, no, Boxer. I rarely go thru car magazines lately. Not even sure what EVO is. Must be a UK car magazine ?
Would luv to get a hold of that article tho. Thanx for the info.
