    Love it -- pic with my friend's Hummer H2 is a bit scary. Wouldnt want to have a headon with that thing in the Dino!! It's chassis #04900, 1972, dark metallic blue since birth (unsure of official name). FYI the house in the background (we just moved there) was built in 1971, so the same vintage! ;-)

    Absoulutly stunning car, congratulations! That picture of it next tot the H2 is something else, Ive seen 1 Dino in real life but never realized how small it is (or rather how HUGE the H2 is!)

    Good to see your son has begun at least one aspect of his existence in the right direction: Italian aesthetics.

    Beautiful car! You must be so happy & proud (your son, too)

    Tell me how it is to drive this car. Test it out this weekend, and let me know what your thougths & feelings (other than excitement).

    Flip that hummer around... imagine the guy in the Hummer decides to back up... he'll be parked on your hood before he realizes you're there!! Always stop well behind those (and other) behemoths.

    Oh, and a big "wow" on your car... gorgeous... someday I'm going to get one like that... I love the 246GTS.

    Very nice car and color. Dino is definitely one of my dream cars. Only if I can find one in Thailand!!!!!!!!!

    You got the exact house for the kind of open yard you have there. Enjoy your life.

    CarreraScott - Love your car. Good luck with it. I own a 74 GTS in Azzuro Chiaro with tan int., so I can relate to what you're feeling! Enjoy.

    Seperately, the issue I have with the new topic categories is that this thread shoud be in the model specific area of the vintage categories, no???

    Too many categories make it tough to know where to post and harder to find what you're looking for. Just MHO, Rob.

    CarreraScott,

    You're a lucky man. Beautiful car, beautiful house & land, adorable son. Oh, I love how your car has not been "FERRARI-ized". I'm removing them from my car as well.

    Congrats on getting one of if not the pretiest car ever made.

    parking it next to the Humthingy just goes to show how silly SUV's are when they spend most of their time with only one person in them (excluding tow vehicles etc.)
