Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Impressions

[Dave Craig (dave.craig]

Naweed,

Hey, I am with you.  I wear more of less, 4 types of clothing: Ferrari,
Harley, Oklahoma State University, and dress cloths (ranked from most
frequent to least frequent).  Call it free advertising for things I believe
in. Most of my Ferrari apparel is F1 based stuff.  I even have the S/F logo
tattooed on my leg.  Am I snobby about it, no!  If asked I even say that I
am supporting my favorite racing team.  Hey, I get tired of seeing all of
the NASCAR shirts and jackets, I have to offset what I can.  

I totally agree with the statement that the majority of Ferrari logoed
clothing is worn by people that have never nor will ever own a Ferrari.  If
you have ever been to an F1 race, you will understand this statement.  The
crowd is wearing red. 

However, most of my Ferrari clothes are T-shirts and it is just hard to be a
snob wearing a T-shirt, blue jeans (or shorts) and tennis shoes.

I say wear what you want and be happy.  

Dave

I guess I just don't get it.  I would always wear my Ferrari Jacket and
T-shirt and baseball hat when I drove my F355 GTB.  I had the Magnum PI ring
tone on my cell phone (of course it would have been Miami Vice if I had a
Testarossa instead).  Wore the clothing and drove the car to Porsche Club
and Ferrari Club events, grocery shopping, work, kids to school, whatever.
Somebody please clue me in on the faux pas I have broken!

Naweed.

I have two rules when it comes to Ferrari badges clothing....
Only ever one thing at a time... hat or shirt or jacket... and never when
driving the Ferrari!

Mostly I wear them in my work van... so people will look and go "yeah right
... like HE could have a Ferrari"

I get a kick out of parking my RR and going to the Post Office.... then
coming back where some people will be looking at it.. and I rock up in a
t-shirt, shorts and no shoes and drive off..... it's classic...

Regards
Gavin
