Monday Moment of Zen

1961 Ferrari 250 GTE, photographed by David Traver Adolphus.  Click to enlarge.

Going through serious withdrawal, folks.

This photo was taken on the occasion of the last time I drove my GT4 this year.  That was in Mid November. I really can't wait to get the car back on the road in ferbruary or March.  I'm starting to go a little crazy.

Crowded Lot

If only sights like this weren't so rare.

When we were young: Hooning Ferrari GTOs in the late 60s

A former GTO owner takes us on an intimate trip down memory lane as we watch some old Super 8 footage of him and his friends with their GTO Ferraris back when they were just used cars to play around with.  Oh to be a 19 year old in 1969 with my very own GTO!  The car belonging to the narrator is now in the collection of Ralph Lauren.  Here we get a glimpse of its wilder youth!  The part where they are painting the 250 GT California matte black is just outstanding. The footage is just perfect. In today's world of hipstomatic and After Effects filters, it's great to see real Super 8 footage that captures the time pefectly.

Dino Verde

A very unusual color, but it is a factory shade!  Verde Germoglio. This is one of the few GT4's I have ever seen besides my own that has the double badging in the nose, which was done at the end of the Series 1 cars.
