Default Beautiful Testa Rossa

While on business in Europe, I stumbled across this beauty in my hotel parking lot in Amsterdam. You can see the pics here:

Nice car. Anyway, about Amsterdam, did you go to any of the coffee shops. I love Amsterdam. Did you see one called STIX, that was my favorite. Also, did you get a chance to eat at the Pancake Bakery on Prisengracht, near the Anne Frank House. I was there twice already once in 95 for a couple of days and then in 2000 for one week. Ahhh the life, ride around on a rented bike and "feeling groovy".

Heh, unfortunately, due to a number of circumstances (not the least of which is that I was travelling with my boss) me visiting the coffee houses in Amsterdam would not have been prudent...much as I would have liked to. The one touristy thing I got to do was visit the Van Gogh museum. I know he's famous and all, but honestly, I didn't much care for any of his artwork. Guess I'll just stick to admiring automotive art .

I believe its a '91 512TR, quite nice indeed, and a bit stiffer and brakes much faster (with the ABS) than the pre '87 TR's. Notice the 18" wheels, the mirrors, and the front end. =D perty!

But the Ferrari emblem on the side, its interesting to hear different Ferrari owners argue on that. Some say Enzo reserved that sticker for his race cars ONLY, and that it should never be on a road car. Personally, I wouldn't place it on the 512TR, or a TR for that matter. But, on an 288GTO, the sticker would look much better.

Looks like a 512TR to me. Beautiful ride. Must be amazing to have that big V12 hammering away behind your head like that.

Gotta agree with Schatten, though, the sticker's gotta go.
