There's one down here (Va. Beach) that is used as a daily driver.
Just seems wrong...

Can I play? Rarest I've seen on the streets of New Orleans is Phil Hill’s Le Mans-winning 1962 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa. I beleive that the guy that owned it has now parted with the car.

Also have run across a rare version of the F50 that was supposed to be lighter weight and more HP from the factory. Supposedly it was totaled a few weeks after I saw it.

I saw a" Miami Vice" Ferrari Daytona Spyder yesterday. There can't be many
of those "POS" left on the road nowadays.

About 10 years ago, I was passed by a Lamboghini LM004( ?).

Sort of a Lambo,Jeep SUV thing. From what I hear they made only 3 or 4.

Happened just outside of Hudson,NY and was driven by Catskill native Mike Tyson.

I saw a Bugatti 35 driving down the autobahn in Austria. I have a pic, but it's terrible. Cool car to see out driving.

Dumbest statement of the day award! I don't know what planet you're on, but the Daytona (GTS or GTB) is not considered a "POS".

I was gonna say the same thing, but if it was on the "road" it was more than likely a kit/vette and not a real one. The real deal GTS/GTB's are bad ***...one of the last great Ferrari's. My fave F-car is a 246 GTS Dino.

Not really, The Miami Vice car was a corvette based replica and looked pretty ordinary in my opinion, those perspex light covers ewww. The real cars are gorgeous I agree.

Since the "Miami Vice" was in parenthesis, and the Daytona Spyder wasn't, I assumed he meant a real one.

They were one of Ferrari's best driver's cars. I've read accounts that state afficianados of the breed said that each one had a different feel and personality, but all of them were good.

Cool

Reminds me of the release of the new Ferrari "California."

Here's a link to a pic:

Wow!! I know it looks a lot like their Maserati, but that's not a bad thing, either.

If I still enjoyed owning convertibles I would want this one. After many years with drop tops I'm now more fond of sunroofs and targas for the roll protection.

Ed:

You misunderstood my statement! I meant the replicar is a "POS" and NOT
the original Daytona which I consider to be one of the most beautiful
Ferrari's produced. I'm sorry if you read it the wrong way, but I was speaking
about the copy, not the original etc.........


Thanks!

Mark
