Saw a news item in NDTV today evening that Ferrari cars will be launched in India by Tata Motors.

Models like F 140 would be available with a starting price of 90 lacs!

SRK · 17th July 2007, 22:18

Congrats! Congrats!
I have seen people go abroad just to see these cars and spend whole lot of money to rent one. Did you pay anything?

A spider F430?? Is this the same one with the so called "Spider man"?
Sanju baba has a hard top version na?

rahul_intlad · 17th July 2007, 22:21

Congratulations Dippy,I feel very happy for you.

Dippy · 17th July 2007, 22:27

Thank you for the wonderful comments guys. I am still in the Ferrari state of mind. The V8 symphonies are something that dont go out of your head just like that. Someone mentioned I didnt write a long review but to be very honest I was really really lost for words. I just put down in words what I could. The click of the F1 paddle when u engage a gear, the needles moving when you start the car, the settings button everything is an experience in itself.

I guess the Maranello Gods smiled on me today. I wonder what's next?
