This car: 1999 Ferrari 355 Spider
is now on route and will be enjoying the beautiful west coast of our province in 12 days - having travelled some 8500 km's to get here.
There will be many posts along the way and no doubt stirring up some major interest in Newfoundland and Labrador

Johnathon Ramsey Associate Editor Autoblog.com who writes:
No matter how many new boxes the court system, the human resource department, the college admissions office and the census come up with, we know that people are wildly ill-defined by their specs. And no matter how delightfully we atomize everything with wheels, cars – the most enjoyable ones, at least – are just as impossible-to-pin down as the humanoids who pilot them. That’s the world of transportation that interests me. Sure, it’s handy to pencil in some of the details, but we don’t drive details – we drive cars, camions, bi-, moto- and tricycles, Robins and roadsters, Gumperts and Gmunds and Goggomobils and anything with a motor and a “Go!” button. Where the spec sheets end and the high mountain road begins, that’s the story worth telling.
Can't wait to see what his posts are on both the car and Newfoundland and Labrador.

James Tate of Car and Driver - MSN Autos has this to say about James:
Cut his teeth in the business as a race team crew member before moving to the editorial side as Senior Editor of Sport Compact Car, and his work has appeared in Popular Mechanics, Automobile, Motor Trend and European Car. When not writing, Tate is usually fantasizing about a vintage Porsche 911.
So all in all this is a great promotion for auto travellers who want to experience our beautiful province - our coastlines - mountains - fjords - parks - history - and culture.
No doubt the people from the west coast will deliver a warm welcome demonstrating once again how friendly and hospitable our people are.
Congratulations to this new company in Corner Brook - Marble Auto Gallery for putting together such an interesting promotion for both our province and the company.
For all you car enthusiasts in our province - and there are many - the west coast is the place to be in a couple of weeks.

this is awesome to see and count me in for the festivities . For those who would like to put some rubber down on the pavement while they are here , and do so legally , I would like to offer the use of my private quarter mile drag strip, located at my facility " HORSEPOWER RANCH" in beautiful St.George's , NL .
PS. I would really like to drive that Ferrari and anything that costs more than my house ,, I will be gentle .
