Did you drive your Dino today? I did!

Tony, the postion of your Pininfarina sign seems to be very low....

 

I looked at a Dino today..... Not that I think that counts

 

Now you mention it!!!

Has always been there in my ownership and never thought to check when it was re-sprayed back to Rosso Bordeaux.

Ah well it will have to stay like that now

 

no big problem, makes it even more special

 

I remember reading somewhere that Ferrari employed a midget in the early 70's and seem to recollect his name was Alessio Leggio.
Your car may be one he was let loose on............ He was originally employed as a floor pan inspector!

 

Stunning Dino, Tony.
I for one think we should all agree Grahams story, regarding the now sadly forgotten Ferrari workshop floor legend , that was Alessio Leggio......and get it added to the Dino Compendium as an appendix!

 

Yes, I did today!

Somehow, the months since my retirement from the firm seems busier thatnbefore. I have had so little time. But, this Sunday morning, I took out the Dino for a short 15-mile sprint. The car felt really good, and the Tubi exhaust gave such a glorious, 60s-era sound; modern cars don’t sound like that at all.

I whipped out my phone before I brought the Dino in and snapped this photo. What a low, small car it is.

Best,

Andy

PS: In the tropics, trees shed their leaves before summer, so we have our small version of autumn.

Andy, Your wonderful Dino pictures always manage to brighten my morning, as soon as I power up my computer! It was 17 degrees F. here this a.m.! Regards, Fred

 

Thanks, Fred. It is amazing what good pictures cellphones can take now.

It was quite cool and pleasant here even into March, but now summer seems to have arrived.

Best,

Andy

 

I had a bit of fun today. A photo shoot with a 750 Monza for an upcoming article in the Official Ferrari Magazine. I only managed to grab a couple of lousy phone pics I'm afraid as the weather was against us and we were doing a lot of tracking shots. I can't wait to see the photographer's work and see my car in the magazine

Well thats just blown everyone out of the water, doubt anyone can match that..................you lucky git.

Both look stunning and you realise just how big the 750 Monza is against the 246!!

 

Wow.

 

lovely....

 

Simply stunning Iain, great company

You have just upped the game! We will have to work really hard to beat that. Patience...

Regards

 

The article is due to appear in late May/June I was told. I'm under strict instructions not to post any photo's they send me unfortunately. I think it may be possible to see an online version when the next edition comes out.

Iain,

When you first purchased this Dino and I found out that you were really going to paint it back to the original colour, I thought this is going to be a BIG mistake! How wrong was I? It looks FANTASTIC, can't wait to see it in the flesh at one of the FOC outings. Regards, Anthony

 

It can NEVER be "a BIG mistake" to take a Dino back to it's birth colour!

However, changing it is "a BIG mistake", obv!

;-)

 

I just got back from a weekend at Goodwood and I swear I saw that Monza there!

 

You most likely did as Andrew said he was racing it there with his brother.

 

Aha! Beautiful car it is too.

 

I picked my Bianco Polo car up today after it's annual service and had a very enjoyable 60 + mile blast in it. I took a few pics when I got home of my variation on the Italian flag.

Congratulations...
