Any owners in the Wichita, KS area?

I live in Wichita. Send me a PM if you want.

 

I go to Wichita to see my dad every other week, and so far the only exotic I guess I've seen was a Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo, and boy was it moving. Nice, but it wasn't a Ferrari. If there was a sort of get together I might be a nuisance and show up just to look...

 

I saw a red 308 pulling into the Cessna plant last fall sometime.

 

Ferraris in Kansas; ya gotta be kidding!

Ummm............where's Kansas?

 

haha, my friend and i got into an argument a couple of years ago, he didn't realize that kansas city was in both missouri and kansas, we were going at it for about 30 minutes before i called it quits.

yes, sad, i know.

 

Back when I worked for Cessna and lived in ICT in the 90's, there was a red Mera 308 that I used to see around all the time. A red 348 Sypder used to be parked over by the office complex at 29th and Rock as well. I also recall seeing a custom NSX convertible around quite a bit - sweet looking car. In the years that I lived in Wichita, Ferrari sightings were very rare.

 

There are several 355's, 348's, 308's and 328's in the Wichita area. Some Daytona's and Testarossa's in suburbs, a few Lambos and occasionally a later edition Ferrari. Don't let Wichita fool you, there are some exotics, but we also have garages and are apparently shy about letting them see the sunshine.

My red 308GTB was in Lawrence last week ...visiting my daughter.

Stopped in Independence, as well.......

 

Big Tex---Did you stop at Uncle Jack's in Independence? Great steaks and martinis...

 

I didn't know about that one! My first visit to the town....

Valeria's mom lives there and we went to some lil' cafe for a late lunch.....then I was 'on the road again!'

 

We DID head downtown in Lawrence to party with all the college kids......reminded me of the old days in Austin, TX.

Of course, now when I run with Renee I'm the "Sugar Daddy.." LOL!

We hid the Ferrari, but the Challenge Jacket still gave me away......

 

No doubt Big Tex...I could've spotted the jacket a mile away. Next time when you're in independence go to the main intersection in town and it's on the NE corner. I'm from Wichita, hence I don't remember the names of the streets, but it was good.

What all do you drive?

 

Just got off the phone, Valeria knows the place! LOL!
And the owners as well, actually.....

I have three 308GTBs, steel ones a late 1976 and two 1977s.....

...and three race karts......a 6 spd 25th anniversary Trans Am..

...and a nice new 4 cyl/manual shift Toyota work truck, running to pay for it all!

 

...jacket....

Nice jacket (car's not too shabby either sir)

Which one is your favorite?

 

What's the other car on the right?

 

That's Jerry's new Pcar...it was bad azz.....

He was selling the 308GTB due to lack of storage space, it was in a thread in 308 Section......

 

Well NSXER, to be honest, I'm fresh out of Grad school with student loans to boot and have a 9 month old daughter. What money I had saved for a Ferrari is safe to say GONE at this point. Rest assured I'll have a nice prancing horse sitting in the garage in just a few years though.

As far as get togethers though, make sure you have the buffalo run on your calendar this fall. A buddy and I went last year in an SL500 and had an absolute blast. I believe he's looking at a 355 spyder for purchase before the event. Should be fun with the other 180 fine autos that show up as well.

I'm up for a get together. I have many commitments coming up, but when I get back in the office on Monday I'll throw a few dates out.

Why wasn't I invited?

I haven't seen a Ferrari here since last year. (TR)

 

I have a 2001 6.0 Diablo, 2001 Ferrari 360, 2005 Ford GT, along with a couple of Big Dog motorcycles. I live in Derby, KS. and grew up in Arkansas City, KS. which is about 50 minutes from my house.

 

Not an exotic..., but I do cruise around Wichita in my Viper GTS on a regular basis.
