Wheres Rado.. Corrado Spotting at Ferrari Garage!

[bristolbaron 11]

I went with my boss to drop his Maserati off for servicing today at Bob Houghtons - A fairly local Ferrari specialist. It was the first time i'd been there and I could've cried. My poor Rados never looked so out of place!

 

As if i didn't feel poor enough, my boss is now looking at buying the 360 in the pic. :x

Doesn't it make you cringe to think that a service on a Ferarri will cost you more than it would to actually buy a good Corrado?! :|

 

But yeah.. the Rado does fit in pretty well mate :D

Your boss sounds like my neighbour, he had a Maserati then bought a 360.

Well spotted! there were four of them there, plus a bare metal shell.

A lot of the cars there are owned by F1 team bosses.

We're going back next week, so will try and get some more snaps.

I love the way the mechanics come flocking towards the corrado.

 

They must have all been paged the second the raddo pulled into the garage.

no, really the car park was empty, they're all photoshops!

I see I wasn't the only one whose eye was immediately drawn to the 246 Dino :)

 

The most beautiful car ever made, IMHO. Sadly the closest I will ever get might be a kit version, but I have an aversion to replica kits so it'll probably never happen! :)

theres a ferrari dealership around the corner from my house....Cardiff has more ferraris per square mile than anywhere else in the world apart from Italy so they're common as muck around here.....best thing is tho..the guy who owns the dealership is called " Dick Lovett "......nice....looks good on the bottom of the numberplates!!
