The Boniface Picnic

Once every fall, before the weather gets too cold, Dr. Ray Boniface stages a car show benefit for breast cancer research. It’s probably the most interesting show in the Cleveland area, with better cars and a nicer venue than the local British, Italian or German Car Shows.

This Week, of Interest

November 17, 2010 By pete

Well, yes, we do in fact. Not our business, really, but apparently we do ok anyway. Remember the Siata we had on the site a few months ago? Gone in sixty seconds. Here’s what Carl Goodwin just sent in, and we didn’t even have to twist his arm:

Thanks a million for your help in selling my Siata Gran Sport! Not only did Veloce Today find a person with the right automotive interests and the ability to buy a Siata but your web site attracted a lot of other inquiries and four other offers. In addition, I sold two Alfa Guiliettas earlier this year through an ad on your site. Amazingly enough, for the Siata, we didn’t even place a regular ad on the site; the Siata was simply featured as a one time news item on “This Week, of Interest”! This international sale is indicative of the growing audience and stature that VeloceToday has and that results from an outstanding editorial product.–Carl Goodwin

What Premium Membership means right now is, if you want to read any of the articles no longer on the homepage, you’ll be requested to join our Premium Member service.

At the same time, VeloceToday will continue to deliver three or more articles to our regular subscribers every week, absolutely free. But when those articles disappear from the homepage after a week or two, they will be put into the Premium Membership column.

But our Premium Membership program can’t just consist of archived articles. We have to give you something new and additional to justify paying that $4.95 per month. Therefore several times a month we will present exciting new feature articles offered to our Premium Members only. And that’s only fair, we think. And only the beginning.

There will be more benefits for those who choose the Premium Membership Service. It opens up a brave new world of options, such as free pdfs, merchandise, e-books, and more. We’ll take this a step at a time, beginning December 1st with an exclusive ‘premium’ story served in three installments.

Finally, let us repeat this again and again. VeloceToday will continue just as before providing excellent, exclusive reports, articles and images every week, free. You do not need to join the Premium Membership service unless you want to, and this will NOT affect your current free subscription.

That way everyone wins.

NOTE: There will be no VeloceToday next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Let’s say you have more money than God and way back you saw an old Italian movie that had a sexy car in it. The movie was by Fellini and the car, as near as anyone can tell, was a special by Fantuzzi, and/or originally installed on a racing chassis. [Read more…] about From the Golden Ferrari 599 Aperta

Design Critique: Ferrari 599 Before the Aperta

599 GTB: Cleaner and more beautiful than the Vette. Photo Ferrari Media.

By Wallace A. Wyss
A commentary on the Ferrari 599 GTB , introduced in 2007, and its subsequent versions.

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
When Ferrari sought to design a new front-engined car to replace the 575M Maranello, they wanted to have one that would be a comfortable grand tourer, and yet incorporate what they call “cutting edge downforce “figures, i.e. stay glued to the ground. Hence the long hood, sloping downward into a built in front spoiler. [Read more…] about Design Critique: Ferrari 599 Before the Aperta

Sebastian Vettel won an entertaining Brazilian Grand Prix and helped clinch the constructor’s championship for Red Bull Racing in a season that has seen the lead change more times than Lindsey Lohan has requested bail. Mark Webber’s second place finish was a clean, uneventful drive, but that is what helps win championships.

Beauty As a Liability: The Ferrari Lusso

November 3, 2010 By Wally

lusso-11.jpg

By Wallace Alfred Wyss

I remember visiting a guy in Newport Beach about 20 years ago who was a Can-Am racer who had just bought a Ferrari 250GT Lusso. I felt sorry for him because , as far as Ferrari 250s go , that model was known at the time as strictly a boulevard car with no racing potential, and therefore little investment potential.

Growing up or growing old?

Story and photos by Erik Nielsen

I’m getting old, or at least that’s what my latest car says about me

If anyone has read even one of the hundreds of F1 reports that I have written for Velocetoday over the years, it tends to come out in my writing that I do have a certain penchant for the cars out of Maranello. [Read more…] about Bentley Boy
