    It's not unheard of to start with the GTE


    And modify it to create a 250 California Spyder


    Personally, if were talking about Ferrari 250s, I prefer the very sexy Lusso
    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

    All respectable choices, and gotta love the classics. For me, I'd be pretty stoked if I could get one of these...

    ^^^ I know that track! But specifics escape me.

    Sweet video too, too bad there aren't more that just feature the car.

    ^^^ Is the track Thunderhill? It looks like a Califronia track with all the oaks, but not one of the southern/central CA tracks, most of which I have driven.

    The R8 is one of the best looking super cars out there currently, not the best performance wise, but it sure is beautiful. I am surprised the German came up with that, but since their top designers are American it is not too big of a surprise.


    With out a doubt the 250 California spider is one of the most beautiful cars ever built...Oh Yeah!!!

    One of my customers thought it was funny when I charged him $25.00 to change the oil on his 250 GTE. He said it was the cheapest service ever done in the history of the car.

    Old Ferraris are cool. Hell, any Ferrari is cool. But the modern examples are some of the most beautiful cars ever made. Like this one.

    No it's a European track. I want to say it is in southern Spain, or Italy... Top Gear did a bunch of testing there. The name is on the tip of my tongue! AHHHH! What is the KGB text answer number?

    I have a client that has a Galardo and a Ferrari 430. Neither car gets driven as he bought them as investments????
    No fucking way could I own a nice car and not drive it daily. Did you guys see the Ferrari 460 on Top Gear? My dream car for sure.

    Nice video. The 430 that I have shown is pretty tricked out. It has carbon brakes, steering wheel, paddles, dash and door handles, along with two 16"woofers behind the seats. Here's a couple pics. at the track (the only place it gets driven).
