Maybe because it's that I'm not rich, but I just don't get what's all wrapped up on what's now mostly a brand name, a style, and all of the conrived statements of how "Ferrari" is something so darn great. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Their older vehicles were definitely in a highly defined breed, but now, their just a different breed by being not that much better (that's if they are better). I enjoyed Michael Schumacher while he was winning, but the world is much more than just Formula 1, and my go cart from over 20 yrs. ago is engineered much more like a Formula 1 vehicle than some street legal sports car vehicle. Pardon my harsh analysis, but I'll rest now and wait for those who have something to chip in with. This post has been edited by Foxxton: Mar 10 2006, 02:42 AM |

Mt Tremblant is a great track and been there a few times.
The track did change a bit back... but one thing to know is that the track is privately owned by T. Hillfiger He's quite an ass when it comes to his track... he has even booted ppl from planned events just because he feels like going there for a spin or bring some of his friends along. My opinion is that his word is not worth much and even less his commitments. He's a big Ferrari fan and am not surprised about his exclusivity bs. He only seems to take exotic cars, or whatever seems acceptable for his "image" standard. It seems like the lowest he is willing to go is have the Porsche club go, and the BMW M3 driving school. What a snob-prick, imho. Part of local history. Racers go elsewhere... there is a closer track to Montreal called Autodrome St-Eustache. |

OMG! I was half-ass joking when it came to refering to the article content as another "snob-ring", but geez, really that bad? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
And if you are referring to who I think you are, is that what people like me get? Especially after purchasing much of his high ticket items over the years? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) This post has been edited by Foxxton: Mar 11 2006, 04:55 AM |
