Ferrari owners of Knoxville?

There are several of us in the Nashville area if you make this way but I can only think of one person "newgentry" who is frequently posting here and he is from the Johnson city area in east Tn. Hope that helps. Oh, and there are a few gentlemen from Chattanooga as well. I am sure you will make contact with some local owners. Good Luck

 

Welcome to the USA!! What brought you here? Job, family, just for the hell of it?

Try to make it to one of the meets in Nashville, its just starting up and getting some momentum already. (and thats with cold ****ty weather) Wait till summer and it should be a real blast.

Later,
Scott

Welcome. dcate is down your way, and is a frequent poster, there's a few of us up here in the Tri-Cities. Also take a cruise through the North Carolina part of the forum, there are several guys up around the Asheville/Blowing Rock area. Send us a pic of your car when it gets here, I'd love to see it.

 

Welcome to Knoxville and congratulation on your new car! Has it arrived yet?

I'd like to see it sometime. Let's go for a drive, Knoxville will never be the same. I live off Kingston Pike in the Beardon area close to Papermill Rd exit.

I'll PM you w/ my number.

I know theres' at least one other (beautiful) 360 in town, theres' a TR (I think not far from where I live which I've NOT SEEN YET , a 550 and a red 330gtc. Maybe some of these guys'll speak up...I think it might would be cool to get these cars together.

 

I hope you do. I'll be looking forward to hearin' from ya asap after it arrives.

(This is big news! I'm excited and it's not even my car. )

 

And if you need any help Monday let me know, I'll be around

 

I'd be up for a drive too, although not sure if my 308 can keep up with the 360! There's also a Cars and Coffee gathering the first Saturday of every other month, the next will be in March at Euro Auto garage off of Sherway and Parkside drive.

 

I had a 360, traded for a Gallardo and currently driving a Maserati QP. There are a few F cars in town.
Enjoy your 360, they are a great car.

 

There's some good roads not far from that area. No traffic, great condition, and pretty scenery. Not that long a drive either.

? We'll use David's 360 as our radar detector I"m up for anything. On public roads, faster doesnt' always mean funner. Think you'd be up for a sunday get together umsneeze? That'd be 3 Ferraris...

Never seen a Gallardo before. Would enjoy seeing it sometime. Three Ferrari's and a Gallardo...

Anyone else?

Dave

 

I'd be up for a little drive Sunday. Provided the weather improves! Not sure how far you guys were thinking, but I've got a couple hours I can get free on Sunday (i.e. no chores).

Andy

 

Sounds good to me. Anybody else in?

 

I'm in

anyone else?

 

Anyone bringing a Mondial? Andy?

I'm am getting a serious itch, and have this idea that a Mondial might make a good re-entry into the Ferrari world as a daily driver. Perhaps I could bum a ride...

 

I've got a 308 to bring, so no Mondial. Marshall classics (or something like that) off of I 40 near downtown has a Mondial for sale. I haven't looked in person, but from the internet it shows some promise.

 

Beautiful cars, everyone! The 308 is such a classic and stunning exotic. The 360 moved car design 3 steps forward...absolutely gorgeous. Your cars are so SHINY! Nice showing, in Knoxville of all places.

What is that to the left of the 328? A trike? Very unusual looking rear lights...

 

Great run! Driving the elder car of the group, I'm always worried about new noises etc. When we got on the interstate, every once in a while as I was accelerating I heard a new sound, high pitched shriek. Nothing seemed amiss, so I kept going. When we turned off the interstate, I realized what I was hearing was the 360 in front of me! Great sounding car!

And hands off to Dcate in the 328: through a feat of dexterity not seen by me before, he managed to remove his targa top and stow it while sitting at a stop sign WITHOUT getting out of the car!

 

It was such a beautiful day the thought came to "get this top off now!". Fortunately that thought was immediately followed by..."Oh yeah, maybe it's best that I wait 'till we're stopped."

Two Australians with a new 360 here now Lee. Knoxville just took a big step toward becoming THE VERY cosmopolitan place to be!

It was the most modern-looking one I'd ever seen. Looked like a Goldwing, maybe an 1800? It was VERY modern looking, not aged at at all. (Come with us next time).

Looking up and seeing this is enough to make any man ...uh..."scream" too ...

It was great. The perfect way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon

I learned tonight that turning right out of the subdivision is one of "the most beautiful drives in Roane County...water, hills, straights and loops back to where we started out. Food for thought

 

Great photos. Our next "Cars and Coffee" is scheduled for March 7th. For more information, go to www.EuropeanAutoGarage.com. We are located at 227 Sherway Road in Knoxville. We had 85 cars for the December gathering. One of our customers just purchased a new Audi R8 and will be at the event.
