^yeah, after doing some expert google image comparisons i guess it is real. still looks a little odd though, must be the camera. i also wasn't sure about that rearend/exhaust area.

what did jsquared's family have? a 328?

3/18/2007 6:06:45 PM

I want to say jsquared's dad had a Mondial. But I'm not 100% sure on that one.

yep, that's what was catching my eye, too.

3/19/2007 5:49:33 AM

Mid 1960's Ferrari 275 Four-Cam on Churton Street in Hillsborough and later the same day again on Hwy 54 Bypass in Chapel Hill.

3/21/2007 11:14:13 AM

They've got an Audi R8 in the showroom over on Park Ave. Took a photo of it Saturday when walking to the parade. I'll try to remember to post it later.

3/21/2007 12:13:28 PM

that's a fucking kit car if ive ever seen one.

3/21/2007 10:02:13 PM

Damn nice 275. I saw one of those at a car show last fall (Concours de Graylyn in Winston-Salem) but I don't know if it was one of the quad-cam models or just a GTB longnose. (Upon further inspection, I think it is a GTB/4 as it has the hood bulge...)


On the topic of that show, another definite exotic they had on display there:

That would be the Audi R10 TDI that placed first overall in the 2006 24 Hours of LeMans. Damn impressive piece of machinery.

3/21/2007 11:17:28 PM

saw a red aston martin convertible on western yesterday

3/22/2007 6:29:25 AM

Saw a 997 911 Turbo, Bentley Flying Spur and the Black Gallardo (which is hardly exotic around these parts anymore) all while eating lunch on the porch at Farmhouse earlier today.

3/22/2007 1:50:25 PM

as promised

3/23/2007 5:56:13 PM

rode in a the jag e-type today, what a sweet car.

3/23/2007 7:05:49 PM

yeah... the lambo officially doesn't count anymore...
no one cares we've all seen it

even me and i don't live there anymore

3/23/2007 7:10:41 PM

saw a new ferrari 599 Panafarini F1 today at foreign cars italia $337,000.00 pricetag
611 hp, enzo engine, yellow with tan interior
waaay better looking IRL than in pictures

they had an F50 and various other exotics
Aston Martin DB9, DB8 Vantage, DB9 convertible

3/23/2007 11:57:10 PM

^Do you mean Ferrari 599 Fiorano? Pininfarina isn't named for any Ferraris of late.

3/24/2007 10:25:57 AM

saw a grey lambo on 540 a lil while ago

3/24/2007 11:22:58 AM

neighbors "friend" just got a spanking new 911 carrera S with the gt3 body kit on it and turbo wheels
window sticker says 98k....

could you imagine 98 grand for 355hp and something that gets spanked by almost anyone who actually cares about fast cars.

3/24/2007 12:51:35 PM

0-60 in 4.2 isn't exactly slow

3/25/2007 2:07:16 AM

Saw a Mercedes SLR on Glenwood yesterday by the mall.

3/25/2007 10:12:49 AM

^^ 98k isn't exactly cheap.

3/25/2007 10:32:27 AM

i think sumfoo is trying to say you can beat it by spending less than 98k....

3/26/2007 1:45:47 PM

What i'm trying to say is that is the worst possible car to buy for 100k

i mean you can get a 996 carrera s for what 30k now?
i mean... i'm not knocking Porsche cause i'd probably get a 996 turbo and mod it or some form of old ruf
if it had to be a new car otherwise i'd go hemi shopping for a numbers matching car owned by someone who doesn't know exactly what its worth... or get a rare 60s mustang... like a 427 shelby gt500 (most had 428s) or a thunderbolt fairlane

something that won't shit out 70k in 4 years and has a little more soul to it.
i'm not a big Ferrari fan but at least it would be worth something down the road a couple years.

but if speed was all that mattered i'd get an sti/evo or a 996 turbo and mod the fuck out of it.

i mean 100k for 355 hp is just retarded in my book

i hate mercedes but at least you get some power for 100k
or maybe he could have skipped the bling and got a stripped down turbo for a little more.

what car are you even talking trash about? I'm confused.

3/27/2007 12:14:23 PM

"saw a new ferrari 599 Panafarini F1 today at foreign cars italia $337,000.00 pricetag"

what car is that?

is that a special edition of the 599 GTB Fiorano (the maranello replacement)?

the price also is a lot higher than the 599 GTB's $250,000. so maybe it is a pininfarina modded/rebodied 599 GTB, but i never heard of it, and can't find it on the intarnetz.

or maybe you are just confused because the 599 GTB is designed by Pininfarina, and has an F1-style transmission. (but then why such a big markup over the MSRP?)



yeah that tan interior is gorgeous:

see that beautiful carbon fiber surrounding the seats!!!

Trap, most new Ferraris are marked way up due to the demand for the models

3/27/2007 12:41:35 PM

why the face?

not like we could afford it even at msrp!

[Edited on March 27, 2007 at 12:44 PM. Reason : but damn, that's a huge markup... 35% !!!!]

3/27/2007 12:44:10 PM

haha, I know. I remember 360 Spiders. Their MSRP was around $190k. But the demand was so high, and thus a long wait list. As such they were going for $260k +

3/27/2007 12:47:55 PM

Ferrari F430 Spyder @ the Post Office on Avent Ferry...30 day tags from Foreign Cars Italia.

3/28/2007 6:32:01 PM

yes, this was a special order car, in the back room, not the showroom, waiting to be picked up

i was there with a friend / previous customer, which is why we even got to go back and see it

and that is what it said on the car

i dont give a fuck if you have never heard of it or not

3/28/2007 10:06:57 PM

awfully defensive there

3/29/2007 6:29:57 AM

^^Pretty sure that's Bob Rapp's car (the man from G-boro that use to own the yellow Enzo). I was out at FCI over spring break and one of the salesman told me that they were waiting for his 599 to arrive anytime within the next two weeks.

And speaking of Ferrari mark ups... they have a used F430 at FCI with the traditional 6-speed going for $220,000. The salesman told me it cost $190,000 new.

3/29/2007 10:53:00 AM

^^^well what the hell is Panafarini? Is that even a company?

[Edited on March 29, 2007 at 12:28 PM. Reason : confused]

3/29/2007 12:28:11 PM

pretty sure he means Pininfarina

pretty much the most famous italian automotive design firm in history.

3/29/2007 3:16:24 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pininfarina

they do general product design too, amazing little company.

3/29/2007 3:17:11 PM

THE P4/5 IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR EVER.

3/29/2007 3:30:31 PM

im pretty partial to the Dino 206 myself

3/30/2007 8:52:07 AM

I live in High Point and take a back road to my house. Every day there is someone test driving some sort of car from Foriegn Cars Italia. The other day a guy in a red Ferrari came around the corner and I was stopped at the stop sign and I don't know if he didn't realize the sign was there or what but he almost drilled the back of my Yukon. He looked startled when he realized how fast he was going and that I was sitting right there.

that might be my vote for the worst ferrari ever.

its called being facetious dumb fuck. Do you really think I don't know WHAT (& who) Pinin Farina is?!

3/30/2007 12:36:01 PM

more like faGetoius

3/30/2007 12:43:05 PM

^you bastard

I got Noen hook line and sinker!

3/30/2007 12:50:14 PM

^seeing as you spelled it horribly wrong, I considered the fact that maybe you honestly had no clue. Even a lot of people who like cars don't realize it's actually an independent company and designer.

Also, I like the Dino for it's styling, it definitely was one of the most underpowered they ever made. as something to look at though, damn it's hot, and it inspired a TON of cars after it.

3/30/2007 6:09:53 PM

I'm so damn sick of seeing all the exotics here that I might go out and try to take pics of Escorts and Yugos and Troopers and shit.



[Edited on March 30, 2007 at 6:18 PM. Reason : damn there's some nice rides around here]

3/30/2007 6:17:04 PM

yellow f355 drop top on blue ridge this afternoon. making a left turn from the traffic lane with no signal.

3/30/2007 6:21:51 PM

I saw a black Diablo getting off 1/64 yesterday. I was mainly jealous because it didn't have pollen all over it.

4/3/2007 1:08:25 PM

was driving around a silver metalic 360 on sunday. and monday to Gboro

4/3/2007 1:12:30 PM

a red 427 Shelby Cobra (could have been a AC but I was passing it on the other side of the road)

Hillsborough's road durham
