K20 power- nice sightings… You should bring a camera with you!

I didn’t see the plates on the Ferrari, though I do know the owner… He is the president of a manufacturing firm in Ballston Spa. I’m sure there are only a couple of these in the area, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same one you’ve seen.

By the way, did you mean to say “Il Sogno”, (“the dream” in Italian)?

Owner is Italian though… Could be the same car.

Yes i meant Il Sogno, it’s not the same one i’m thinking of. My good friend’s grandfather has an 07 F430, same exact car a you saw. Except he owns a couple locksmith shops.

And yeah, i brought a camera and it seems whenever i see the cars, i don’t have the camera on me and when i do carry the camera i don’t see any sick cars.

Archie I saw the F430 after he left the office I assume as well. Amazing :bowdown

Also same day so a red F355

and about 20 minutes prior, the yellow gallardo that we are all well aware of.

Rosso Scuderia (might be the other way around) is the color, as i don’t think Ferrari makes an orange, although that color looks orange in the sun and at a certain angle.

That might have been the guy i know, seeing as his lock shop is down the road on Central.

The Il Sogno car is Phil Mangino’s. Very very nice guy. I remember last year I pulled in to the wash to meet up with Brooks’ and the F430 was there, Phil was washing it. We talked for an hour or so, then he let me sit in the car, start it up, and rev it up. Amazing.

Phil **Mangione** \* not Mangino. He is a very nice guy, i’ve gone out to dinner a couple times with his family and had coffee a few times. Others may know him as “Fippy”.
