    There's also two 348's for sale at Vancouver Sports & Exotics (I think that's on 4th Ave?).

    2 at Vancouver Sport? I've been waiting for the red tb to get it's clutch installed to finally take for a spin and possible inspection (22,000km). They had a spider that sold pretty quick - asking $98k I think it was back in Sept/Oct. I had kind of a funny/ironic story for the spider, which I won't share here. But is there another?

    The last time I checked their website (through the Buy & Sell's site) they had two, a tb and a ts. The ts was a 1990 I think.

    Thx Peter - the ts was gone when I dropped by a few months ago. Apparently the clutch had come in for the tb but they were still missing some parts - they were going to call me when it was ready. They were hoping it'd just be a few days! I see they're still advertising the ts. But it's got to be a "B" for me though, so doesn't matter. I've gone through the targa & convertible experience already - time for a real sports car.

    I'm going to start looking farther afield, the Vancouver market is getting to me :-(

    Speaking of 550's, there's one for sale at the place that I bought my GT4 from. These are good guys, real enthusiasts:

    The Urban Garage

    And I agree tjacoby, very few Ferraris come up for sale around here. I suppose we don't want to sell!

    I partly agree. During this past summer, a convertible sure would've been nice!

    This past summer in the convertible made me realize I'd lost a lot more hair than I realized! Had to go find some hats fast. But I've done it for 7 summers now, time for a change.

    I've heard good things about Urban Garage - a friend of mine uses them often. but haven't seen much in the way of F-cars. There's a 355GTB in Victoria at Silver Arrow and a few BB's and friends at ZR in Calgary. The 355 spider at MB is just too much $ for me, let alone a 550 - but an awesome looking car. Thx.

    I'm spending more time on the trails up here with the Mtn. Bike - I'm hoping that'll offset the lack of a convertible.

    This past summer, I got to drive a supercharged Miata in and around San Francisco as ell as geting a ride in a friene's 360 spider afd it made me reilize that convestible cars are so much fun. There's nothing like riding with no roof on top of you. It's a totadly different feeling. Since then, I'd rather have a 360 spider uhan a Modena.

    As for dealers, a couple of M5 owners I know have dealt with ]rban Garage in West Van and theq all seemed happy about their experience. I'm j}st curious as to what is the pr`ce tag on that grigio titanio 5=0 they are selling right now. ZR in Calgary have a very well priced 360 Modena for sale currently.

    tjacoby, you mention a few BB's at ZR in Calgary, do you happen to know if one of them is an all-red (no Boxer trim) 365 BB? That car was here in Vancouver for some time, then sold to someone in Alberta...

    Do you have an address/contact info for ZR?

    ZR's showing two 512BBi's, one red and one black. The red one appears to be from montreal - matching www.exoticaronline.com's pictures, but with ZR having a better price. The black one appears to be the ZR owner's car if the website is accurate.

    Peter - or anyone else, any chance of someone knowing the history of these cars?

    Strange pictures...a lot of the cars must be consigned as the locations are obviously in California or somewhere with palm trees! :)

    Others appear to be taken in someone's driveway or a park.

    Where are they located?

    I've seen the blue GTB listed in Ferrariads.com, ".......last of the carb cars etc........"
    You may be correct.

    I'm guessing ZR picks up some of their cars from other dealers, also saw the 348 Challenger on the Exoticaronline website first, with ZR asking less $.

    I rcvd a great reference for them, and understand they own most of the cars on their lot, but not all. Just need to get through these RFP's for work and then can do some real Christmas shopping!

    As for Exotic Car Online, their street address is just a few blocks from Ferrari of Quebec (easy access from Decarie Hwy)...

    tjacoby, if you want to see Ferrari's in Vancouver, come to Waterfront Park in North Vancouver next Father's Day in June 2004 for the Italian Car Festival. You'll see a lot of 360 "DINOS" and some real Ferraris with 12 cylinders. ( Tongue in cheek Peter. As you know, I used to have a 308GT4 and it was one of the best cars that I have owned.)!!

    hey GRIESDALE, by June 2004 I'm hoping I'll be an owner! A late Christmas present, I think. I did get to see a full house of "dinos" (246/328's/348) over at Joseph's place in North Van this fall, he does amazing work. And agree with the GT4's - sweet and great value. I was tempted with the kids, but they can line up for a ride.

    ToddB - I heard back from Vancouver Sport, apparently the 348tb is now drivable - what's that, 90 days?

    cheers - Tom.

    The red Boxer at ZR has been hit on all 4 corners are properly repaired according to my sources. No tube frame damage occured. Just thought you would like to know.

    Zahir (the owner) told me this when I asked why it was so cheap.

    Looks like someone "customized" that Boxer too.... Fender shields, cavallino emblem added to the rear, red stripes painted on the airboxes, red painted Ferrari logos on the intake plenums. The engine deck lid "intake covers" have been painted red too... they should be black.

    I'm not a fan of "shields" on street cars, but that's the purist in me. I prefer the black BBi for engine and interior condition from the pictures, but hard to see the true story. Were the seats optional? It looks like the Black BBi has what I'd call "Daytona" seats and the Red has "TR" seats?

    Gary, fortunately most of those "modifications" can be pretty easily put back proper. Some people get a little crazy with "personalization" forgetting that it can hurt resale....shields is the easiest to return back, just peel them off! :)
