After being at a show last weekend I stayed behind to see if I could get a few nice pictures. Cultra is a local folk and transport museum. It has some lovely historic streets recreated and people working in them all dressed up in period gear. "You really want to taste the Soda bread that's been cooked over a turff fire", "Yum Yum". I'm rather pleased with the photos.

Thanks, My Wife bought me the Reg for my 40th.

I'm going to see if they will allow me in to get pics with my Fiat 500 as I think it would look well.

Looks like a fantastic day.

Very nice pictures. It is great to see Ferraris out being used and appreciated. Art on wheels.

Great looking photos! I like the plate too.

Just back from the very first All Ireland Italian car gathering so thought I would add a couple of pics. Hope you like them.
This one is of my 308 and our Clubs Fiat Panda. This little Panda is sort of my Club company car and our Mascot. So far it's been to England, France, Spain, Itlay, Monaco, Morocco and the Sahara desert. This year however is going to be it's biggest adventure as on July 11th "Sylvia" that's it's name, is off to the USA for the Fiat freekout in Detroit. After that it's going to Mexico on hols. I do hope it makes it.




This one is my car and another club members (Paul) 360. Pauls car had one hell of a note.

This new pic of the 360 and your 308 is great, but those museums pics are just awesome - well done. Have to snag one of those for my PC background for a few days...

 

[Pete04222]

Glad to see you are enjoying your car! Thanks for the update!

I ended up on the day letting kids sit in it all day. Have to say it was a real joy to watch their faces when I opened the doors to let them in.
I lost count of how many kids said they were going to save up ALL their money to buy one when they grow up. So more Ferrari converts for the future.

Here's a pic of the car when it was silver. Along with some other car from my collection. My Daughter Rebekah wanted her Ferrari in the photo as well.



My Dads Bertone X19, ok it's not a Ferrari but they were called the baby "Ferrari".

I can see you had a few rust issues before. I've got a couple of bubbles on my car as well. I think you made an excellent choice on changing the color of the car. It looks a lot nicer in "Resale Red"

 

[Maranellohouse]

Not to many thank goodness. It was caught at the right time. And it gave me the oportunity to change the colour, I always wanted a red 308.

Whoa, that's so nice! How much was it?

 

[Maranellohouse]

Whoa, that's so nice!

Thanks, I should have a couple more pics of a show I was at last Sat. I'll see about getting them loaded.

More pics from another show

These are from a local show my Dad and I went to last Saturday.

I'll give everybody 1 guess as to who had the coolest car there.

I'll give everybody 1 guess as to who had the coolest car there.

There was some lovely machinery there this year. The Triumph TR7 V8 behind my car drew a lot of interest, (we have a strong Rally culture here). It was a full works ex Tony Pond car. I remember it lying in a barn in bits years ago.

There was also a totally original WW2 Kublewagon, (I'm sure I spelt that wrong), the German thing based on the Beetle platform. It was amazing.
