New miniatures in my own collection!! |
|
| |
 Yesterday I bought three new models from a Dutch guy I new through the Dutch Ferrari Club. I saw the 1/43 308 GT4 on his website for sale and I was already searching for that miniature a long time. So I mailed him and we set a meeting. When I visited him at home I noticed that he also had the miniature of the picture for sale: the Modulo.
The Modulo was a prototype Pininfarina built in March 1970 based on the 512 chassis.
I didn't even knew that the miniature existed! And I'm very pleased with it!
The third miniature is one of a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 (brown plastic). Not a very good miniature but nice for my collection ;) |

|

 Update of the 308 GT4 section. Two links (not yet in the right place (design technical)) and a brief history of the model. I'm still searching for owners or pre-owners who want to share some nice stories with us about this car! |

Pictures of holiday in Italy |
|
| |
 Okay, it's not Ferrari related (not totaly) but I still thought it was nice to put here...the holiday pictures of my girlfriend and me, in Italy! The trip was only 9 days but very nice! We visited Bologna, Parma, Ferara, Maranello (ofcourse), San Marino, Rimini, Modena, Florance etc. Only two days of the trip were with rain...the rest was perfect weather...
So check it out...and watch some nice pictures of Italy. The text besides the pictures is in Dutch (sorry about that, but my girlfriend has a Dutch website). |

 As promised here the first pictures of the F2003GA I saw testing at Fiorano, the test circuit of Ferrari. Ofcourse it was a fabulous sight, but the sound was even better! While testing they go really flatout, try to break the laprecord! |

Very nice dioramas |
|
| |
 While I was surfing to several nice Ferrari sites I came to this one FerrariModelsClub. An Italian site (partly in English) with some very nice miniatures. And some diaromas. Made by Model Fox Brianza of Giancarlo Fossati. They have made, for example, the Alfa Romeo - Scuderia Ferrari - garage, The Ferrari Factory of 1943 and the one you see on the picture, The 312 T3 of Carlos Reutemann in the pitbox! They are stunning if I may say so...what a details. Very nice!! |

He's back! |
|
| |
 It looks like Michael Schumacher is back on track. With a superb win yesterday at the Italian GP at Monza he made his lead a (little) bit stronger. He now leads with 82 points over the chasing no. 2, Montoya who also became second yesterday and now has 79 points. Raikonnen, who became fourth after Rubino, has now 75 points and is also still in the race for WorldChampionShip.
All is still open for the next race, Indianapolis in America! |

Update no. 2! |
|
| |
 Again...an update from Italie!
A few days ago my girlfriend and I were in Maranello, as I already said in my last posting. But because it was very rainy we didn't see much. So, we decided to visit Maranello again. On a very sunny day we came to Maranello and drove straight to a little street were you can see a small part of the Fiorano track. And...yes...there was an engine started...wow...that sound, that's, that's, YES it was the F2003GA!! Testing on Fiorano. After we saw it for a few laps we drove to the other side of the track (in the direction of the city Fiorano, and than into a muddy road, next to an ceramic factory. There we could see the track even better and saw the F1 pass us several times. Until the gearbox broke...just in front of us...the car did manage to get to the pitbox but never left it again.
Half an hour later the same 360 Modena GT was driving again on the track! That car can also go very very fast indeed!
So that was very nice to see.
Ofcourse we also visited some of the shops in Maranello. At one, across the factory, I bought a very nice miniature of the Ferrari 408 (the 4x4 prototype)!! Very special!
Luckaly the weather has changed now and is very good...nice temperature and lot's of sunshine! This is a very nice holiday! I come back soon with some pictures, I promise. Now I will search for a nice cafe, were we can watch the Italian GP!! Bye for now!! |
