Well, decided to go up to Ferrari of SF yesterday (Feb. 16). I needed my fix of Ferraris for the month. It wasn't the best of weather yesterday(stormy, wind, rain) though but never-the-less, it was an enjoyable excursion. The stock was somewhat meager, compared to some of my previous visits.

But anyways, down to buisness, the best part of the trip to the dealer was being able to sit in a 550 Barchetta, as i enjoyed that quite a bit. Those sport seats are quite nice. Unfortunately, i neglected to get the s/n of the car, although I do know that it was #351 of the 448 Barchettas made. Argento with a Nero interior. The car was sold and is heading to its new owner in Texas tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday

There's nothing better than spending a day at the dealer's showroom, eh Rosso.

Whoa whoa whoa...you gotta go back buddy!
I need to see more pics of that White 360!! That was sweet!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Don't worry, I know all the s/n of the barchetta's already. The other would heva ebeen great though. Look's like a fun trip/ The closest dealer is 2 hours by train for me. And 2 hours back... Maybe I will do that this weekend. Depends on the people sleeping at my place friday. And the party that same night

Ouch, that's tough, being so far away from the closest dealer! Lol, so it's one of those spontaneous sorts of things, you'll see when the weekend arrives.

But good, you have all the s/n already.

Spyder, yeah, definitely. I already have some more pictures of that car from my visit last month and I will get them uploaded asap tomorrow when I get home (because I need to get to bed now, test tomorrow ). It's an interesting color. Had a the 3M clear bra, front challenge grilles, 6sp., and grey interior.

Stradale, oh yes, the Ferrari dealer can make a great day even better. Nothing like it... (except for owning one and taking it out for a nice cruise I would assume?)

 

[Andrew]

Wow, they are moving some cars. None of those cars where there when I was there only one month ago. I did get to see a 360 CS though.

124329 550 Barchetta Pininfarina LHD 351/448 13-jan-04: For sale at Ferrari of San Francisco, Argento Nurburgring Metallic/Black

I already spotted it on the site of Ferrari North America.


I need to do something Ferrari this weekend, but I got visitors. Maybe I'll just dump them here in the city and leave myself...

I'm not real big on odd-angled pictures, but hey, they're your pictures.

something like this?
:wink:

 

[Rosso]

Yeah, Andrew, Ferrari of SF seems to cycle their inventory pretty quickly. That CS you saw was inside the garage area, right? Bruce said they should be getting a few more comming in soon, all pre-sold of course.

Ah, bob, thanks. I remember I saw it on the inventory listings, but just didn't get the sn down. Tough descision for you...guests or Ferrari....guests or Ferrari... :lol:

i bet the smile on your face is still there?

Absolutely!

I perfer full-car shots, but sometimes there isn't much room around the cars and I like to capture certain details on the cars.

 

[mchferrari]

Tough descision for you...guests or Ferrari....guests or Ferrari... :lol:

Easy decision for me. :wink:

 

[360 Spyder]

something like this? :wink:

Okay...now I really like the white one...so which do I buy? Black/Black/Black or White/White/White? (body/int/top)

But, I'm not really a huge "white car" kind of person...though it looks soooo good on a 360...

Oh the decisions we all face... :lol:

 

[Rosso]

Yeah, Bianco is an interesting color on Ferraris. It doesn't seem to quite go with some of the models though.

Well, I was able to upload some of my pictures of the car for you, so check them out here!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Black/Black/Black. I like white more but a white top will be grey in a year...

I'm still trying to get some more pics of a matt-black Ferrari 550 Maranello. That thing looked like death itself would ride in it. Very cool car...

 

[Rosso]

Woah, flat black? That must have been weird...although I probably would say no, but it sounds interesting...
