Happy Jay Kay! |
|
| |
 A bit of an old story, (April 15th) but still...I didn't know it and found it interesting enough for ForzaRossa.nl.
Sports car fanatic Jay Kay, leadsinger of Jamiroquai, is bursting with pride as he picks up his 14th car. The singer forked out £425,000 for a special black Enzo in Maranello, Italy. It is the last one of the 399 Enzos built.
The 33-year-old Jamiroquai star’s other cars include several Ferraris, SEVEN different Mercedes, a Bentley and a Lamborghini.
In 1998, after he was caught speeding, Jay had his driving licence taken away! Temporarily unable to drive, he amused himself by purchasing a 500-year-old, eleven-bedroom Buckinghamshire mansion once owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Ex-girlfriend Denise Van Outen once said he got more excited about cars than sex. |

24 Hours Of Spa |
|
| |
 We are just back. Home from two days of racing cars...loud noise...rain and a beautiful hotel!! We, my girlfriend and I, went to the 24 Hours Of Spa Francorchamps. She won tickets in a contest. When we arrived, saturday morning, it was very nice weather and we went to the paddock for some signiatures of drivers. There were also some nice Ferrari's at display, including the Enzo. Later we went to the other side of the track and sat at the tribune, first the one without the roof (cost were 6 euro each extra) later, when it went raining, to the one with roof (another 12 euro each extra!). There we saw some nice things! Ow...and we bought headphones...because the cars on the straight, especially the 360 Modanas, what a sound!!
Later I will show more pictures, and larger ones...but here is the 24h of Spa in a noteshell :)...ow and by the way...look at my T-shirt :D

Yes...Donna Ferrari |
|
| |
 Yes, finally!! At WarmUp, the famous store in Maranello, they had the perfume Donna, for woman. It's the only female sentence of Ferrari. I searched and searched. But I couldn't get it anywhere. Even at a specialised shop here in Holland they didn't have it. Even stronger...they told me it didn't excist. Well...here's the proof. It does excist and it's a, according to my girlfriend, very nice, fresh sentence! So...only available, easily, at WarmUp!! (the delivery though was a bit of a problem...but that's because UPS gave the package to the owner of a bikeshop, where I live above. And I have some troubles with those people. So we just got it today...while the delivery was on the 18th!! Just terrible. But also very stupid of the people from UPS...why didn't they leave a note for me...or just called me at my cellphone (they did have the number...). Next time I let them deliver it at my workadress!!)
 And what a beautifull bottle...with, ofcourse, the Ferrari logo (also on the top of the bottle...)!! |

Ferraris for sale...or for auction |
|
| |
 Want to buy a Ferrari. You can find over 200 Ferraris, worldwide, on the site of Denning Cars. Nicely sorted! And special ones to, what to think of a Ferrari 212 Inter Pinin Farina Coupe, located in the USA and for sale for 375.000 dollars. Or a beautiful white Ferrari 275 GTS Spider, somewhere in Europe, for sale for 198.000 euros.
But when you do want a Ferrari, but hope to spent less money on it, you can also bid in a auction. Several Ferraris are there to bid on, like a Ferrari 365 GTC/4, a 328, 348 TS, but also (not a car...but very special) a Ferrari Formula (ladies)Watch from Cartier. The price of the watch is now on 180 English Pounds. And that's not expencive at all...when you have the money of course! |

Yesterday the European Sportnetwork 'Eurosport' showed it on television, the match between the superstars of sport and the superstars of entertainment. In the sportteam there were four F1 drivers: Giancarlo Fisichella, Jos Verstappen (?), Olivier Panis and Michael Schumacher.
The score was 9-6 for the red team of sports! Michael, Olivier and Giancarlo were all responsable for one goal.
There are some rumours going in the pits. As always halfway the season the drivers are negosiating with all teams for a seat next year. Even the topdrivers are talking to other teams. What was Montoya doing with McLaren?? Does he wants to drive there next year? BMW motorsports director Gerhard Berger says that he doens't want to lose Montoya, he would like to see both drivers for another year in the team.
Yesterday a driver of the Historic Sportscar Challenge died after a crash at Silverstone. David Heynes, 56, an Oxfordshire businessman, was killed while competing in the Historic Sportscar Challenge which followed the grand prix. His 1958 Lotus 15 ploughed into the tyre wall at Becketts Corner.
Just made some updates to ForzaRossa.nl. New miniatures (1/43, 1/5, 1/2 and radio-controlled) a update of the magazines, new links etc. Hope you enjoy! 
This is what I saw past monday. I heard a familiar, and beautiful sound, and...yes, it was a Ferrari. A red 550 Maranello. It parked just in front of our appartment. And who was behind the wheel? Yes...my landlord!
