Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Track Car (was 599)

[E M (pokiebaron]

Maybe an SLR ?  There are several always at the dealers here, both coupe and soft top.  Saw a used one of the floor at the dealer yesterday too.  But they're everywhere down in the US, unless you just wanted the excuse to come to Toronto to stock up on Tim Horton's coffee.  hee hee

Nice guesses, but nobody's hit it yet. I'll give you 2 hints:



1)    It's street legal (has to be, since I'm driving it back from Toronto)

2)    It's NOT a Ferrari.
