Is anyone going tonight. I believe that the local FOC are having a meeting there this evening. Buffet, etc....

[RobFerrari]

I'm going tonight, not an F-Car owner but ive been invited by the local organiser.

Starts 7pm, buffet and light refreshments.

Ferrari parking at the garage, other parking available across the road in the Hilton car park.





Saw the garage the other day, pair of stunners in the front the Red/Cream 599 and a Red/Cream F430. Beautiful!

Indeed it is. Graypaul are also in Nottingham and Edinburgh. Sytner also owns Maranello Sales in Egham.

I'm a bit surprised that Ferrari & Maserati didn't remove the Manchester franchise from Stratstone (Pendragon plc) in the light of the dealer group's troubles and award it to Sytner. Only someone with inner knowledge might enlighten us.

Temp. home I believe moving to a permanent home in Birmingham, when it is built in a year or 2? I think.

So has Nick Whale sold the Ferrari franchise after what, 3 months?

Yes. Seven months. Factors relating to the credit crunch and lower order count as a result, an unholy alliance for Whale. Sytner being part of UAG in the USA with deeper pockets, accquired the franchise.

It's a shame, Nick is a nice guy. He took me on a run in a Carrera GT which was the BEST supercar in my opinion - and yes, I went out in an Enzo and SLR as well.
