I want to try and get together pictures of 12 of our forum member Ferraris and see if we can't come up with a Ferrari Forum calendar for 2005. I got with Andrew and he said he'd try and find some pricing info.

One of our cars will be the feature Ferrari each month. Haven't worked out all the details but I was thinking a high quality photo of the car and on the bottom a little caption telling about it. Like for me it would be "1979 Ferrari 308 GTS, Maine USA, Pete04222 on FerrariForum.Net" or something like that. When the weather gets nice I will have my wife take some photos of my car. Thats one month, we need to fill 11 more. Who's in?

I don't want this to just be a calendar with pictures of Ferraris, I've already got one of those. I want a calendar with OUR Ferraris!

I have an amazing picture of my old black on black 360 spider shot from the back of a moving car while i was passing it. It was taken with a really nice digital slr so the image should be just fine for the calender. Let me know who to email it to and i will get it off my friends computer.

now we are talking
slr camera's, take no substitute :green:
you can mail it already to me or to peter, or both of us, either way full list isn't complete yet
especially if you have a Stradale on the way
BTW what color and does it have the stripe

Stradale Dan

· #44 · Jan 12, 2004

The car is going to be scuderia red, with no stripe.

My 348 is red :roll: :roll:

I have driven her to the Collosseum and to the Arch of Costantino to take some pics. Hope that Dj Dirk could change his mind! :-? :-?

Poor quality: the pics have been loaded from a floppy at reduced file dimension because Win NT does not recognise the USB port. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I will solve the problem asap and, in case, send the pics again. :lol:

Most important point: having taken the pics I enjoied a wonderfull trip to a lake close to Rome, with the hood fully opened even though the temperature was 8°C. 8) 8) 8)

My 360 Modena is spoken for and it's going to it's new owner soon, so pointless to show it on the 2005 calender. But my new Stradale will arrive sometime at the end of March and I'll post that one.

Rosso Scuderia, with sports stripe and red leather interior. That should add colour to the calender.

I just found out there is a Tour de france Blue 360 running around here somewhere. I will find it and ask it's owner to join us!

what i mean is, it's very refreshing to see non red ferrari's in a calender, buy a ferrari calender nowadays, and about 90% is red and even has red borders, so that's a bit overkill IMO
i'm a sucker for non-red ferrari's, i always love it to see different colours, some even look better, like a 456 looks a lot better in dark blue then in red.

and i must say that first pic of you is very stunning (the sideshot)
just a shame of that punto in the background, that's the kind of shots that would look trully stunning in the calender.

Ya, perfectly right!

I have to confess that I was a little bit embarrassed in taking the pic in the middle of the square with lot of person looking at me

thus I didn't take the proper time to park the car and choose the better framing.

Anyway, it could be nice to have in the Calendar something that represents different countries and different models. If it is the case, I can manage to go early in the morning and shot a better pic.

Dude, don't be embarassed...you drive a Ferrari!! Those people were jealous!! :green:

that would be very cool, some morning shots with no cars around
but make sure that you can take a pic at the highest resulotion

else we could arrrange something later on the year, you are from europe so that shouldn't be a big problem

Sure. I believe that the original pic has already an acceptable resolution.
I reduced the file from 1.200 kb down to 200 kb to copy it on a floppy due to the conflict of Window NT (installed on my PC) with the USB port that is connected to the camera.
I will send the original pic in the near future to check for the resolution.

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't checked in. Right now I'm sitting on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico so I can only check in every few days or so. I'm out here until the 30th.
I'm glad to see there has been some great interest in the calendar. So it looks like, to date, we have:
Pete04222, USA, red 308 GTS
Bazil, UK, red 348TS
355GTB, USA, yellow 355 GTB
ze_shark, Switzerland, blue 355 GTS
ze_shark, Switzerland, titanium 550
4i2fly, USA, rosso dino 360 Modena
mick dipple, USA, red Mondial Cabriolet
'75 308 GT4 (Peter), Canada, black 308 GT4
carguy, USA, nero black Testarossa
Stradale, ???, rosso scuderia Stradale
fradefa48, Italy, red 348 Spider

That's 11 Ferraris! Did I miss anyone? Bart, are you in? We need one more.

Peter has a black 308 GT4
fradefa48 is a 348 spider

so come on, let that last one be a classic, else we don't have a classic in there

I saw a guy here with a 365 GTC/4, and I would like to see a 365 GTB/4

That's okay, he got it half correct. The interior is red

· #57 · Jan 20, 2004

In about an hour or so I will be meeting the guy who has the TDF Blue 360 Modena. I will tell him about this site and ask if he would like to have his car in the calender.

Dr. Bob

· #58 · Jan 20, 2004

TdF blue is nice, I hope he is willing to cooperate, but we have several months, we can list the ones that want to cooperate, and then vote when we want to use them and we have more than 12 cars

360 Spyder

· #59 · Jan 20, 2004

If we have more than 12 cars...let's see if we can get 18 total and make it an 18 month calender!! :wink:
Or, just have some extra pictures thrown in at the back for gp.
