Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 575

[clyderomerof4 (clyderomerof4]

I feel fortunate to have done what I have done over the years

Next year I turn 75 ¾ of century old

Holly shit

Yea Baby

This year Denise and I hit the Maldives in November

Next year the Seychelles in November

Then the round the world trip on the National Geographic tour ( 24 days) Around the World by Private Jet | National Geographic Expeditions in 2026

Then that’s it for long distance travel

Have 2 great grandkids

And a bunch of close friends

Gotta knock all this out because we fly guys don’t live too long

That’s it

Got a Snap Victor to a hostile ( Rick knows what this means)

 

cLyDe out!

You are and always will be a legend!

 

Only person I can think that comes close was / Volabra with his high mileage F40 / F50 / Enzo - not sure what happened after that.  

 

I have a (won the lottery) dream of daily driving the latest super car and still selling it for more than I paid.

The last picture before I put it away on the trailer 

Was trying for 100k like I did with the 93 512 TR 

I don’t think anybody has more seat miles in a Ferrari than me

I sold my 84 308 GTB with over 100k bought it with 10k

Had 110k on the 512 TR when it went bought it with 10k

The black 575 had 26 k on it when I got it died at 75 K 

This one I have now has all the upgrades from the factory based on the assy #

And it already has the cam drive repaired which killed my black car

I feel fortunate 

Most people will drive or sit in a Ferrari 

I have owned 3 and drove the paint off them as they were meant to be driven!

He drove it 75K miles

Am I reading correctly that you sold the broken one for 75 and bought the red one for 130, or 55 more?  Does that mean fixing the black one would have cost more than 55?  Wow!

 

Hope the new one treats you great!  Do you know how much was spent on the preventive service?

Hope you have better luck with this one. 

 

FWIW, I always judged the garage queens more critically.  

 

If you pushed it out of the trailer on to the fairway, it better be perfect. 

 

Like cLyDe, I wouldn’t start a car of that vintage that had not been run.  Let a mechanic change the fluids and hand turn it for a bit before even trying to run it. 

 

To each his own, but I get sad that they ruin cars by not using them

 

If it was in my budget, I’d use it as a daily driver.

Picked up a 2004 575

Bought it for $130K( they were asking 139), I know every one of you wanted to know what I Paid!

 it had 23,971 on it and ok service records

It was a late model build so it had some factory upgrades my old car did not have

Noticeably quicker shifting in the manual mode which is the way I drive these F-1 gear boxes

 

This one had the same issue mine had but they caught it early

Common problem with the 12 cylinder the lower crank timing bearings

This is much like the transaxle issue on TR’s

If you own a 550/575/612 this problem exists so be advised

Catch it early or you will end up like I did

 

On another note this dealership had a 2004 575 that had less than 500 miles on it!

I told the guy never start it

There is no lubrication on any of the cylinder walls and every seal on that thing has dried up

It’s a museum piece at best and they wanted $189K for it

There was one I was looking at in Nashville at the Ferrari dealer, it had the Joseph Mengele seats!

And there was another at a Volvo dealership in Jacksonville he wanted way too much for a car that had CAT issues!

 

Anyway that’s it for me the drive home was great

The only thing I hate about this one is the color

RED

My old one was Black and stealthy
