Calgary Man Enjoying his new Ferrari A Little Too Much?
Its become quite the common sight in oil rich Calgary, but this past Friday the number of ferrari sightings shot up quite a bit. Starting at about 7:30am and lasting throughout much of the day until about 4:30pm there was a ferrari sighting every 15 minutes or so in the downtown area by various beyond members. However, it turns out it was the same driver circling the downtown area flaunting his F430 spider for hours on end stopping only to get gas (I imagine). The driver was obviously enjoying his vehicle as he took it up to redline on the downtown streets echoing the glorious engine note off the buildings. Who says high gas prices are causing people to drive less? :)

Beyond.ca 2008 Summer Cruise Picture Thread
This past sunday was the annual summer cruise, and as usual Banff was the destination. The infamous HPF Stage 2 Turbo M3 was in attendance ending the lives of thousands of insects on the mountain roads. There wasn’t as much trouble with law enforcement this time around and everyone seemed to have a great time. Check out the thread for some pictures, or post some of your own if you have some!

Son Wrecks Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

As kids, we’ve always dreaded having to make the phone call to our parents when we’ve done something bad, and one Australian man did something bad… very bad. He decided to wrap his father’s limited edition, Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale around a telephone pole completely destroying the front end.

The car is an 360 Challenge Stradale, one of just 16 imported into Australia and New Zealand in 2004, with a price tag speeding past the $400,000 mark.

It was a very limited production version of the Ferrari F360 that was designed as a track car but could also be used on the road. The standard F360 F1 at the time was $396,000, and the Stradale was more than that and built to order.
