An increasing number of clients are seeking the expert

Over the following pages we present some examples

special department since July this year, tells us:
‘Personalization is growing, in the mass market as

heritage going back to the coach-building era, it’s no
surprise that we are at the forefront of it. Of course,
customers can still stay within those original
parameters if they want to, but they are certainly not
restricted to them. We prefer to think of them as

two categories of the prestigious International Engine

Year and the Above 4-litre class. The winner on this
occasion is the naturally-aspirated 4.5-litre V8 engine
that equips the 458 Italia and 458 Spider and, in its
most powerful guise, the 458 Speciale.
The V8 won both awards two years running in 2011
and 2012, and with the company’s naturallyaspirated, 740-hp 6262cc V12 that equips the
critically acclaimed F12berlietta taking the same

One trip to a high-end steakhouse is all you need
to convince yourself of the benefits of dry aging —
and one look at a professional setup will convince
you it's not worth the price. Luckily, there's the
Steaklocker. Billed as the world's first at-home dryaging fridge, it uses fan forced air technology and a
host of sensors to keep your meat within safe
temperatures and alert you (via app, of course) if
they veer off course. It also looks great thanks to a
stainless steel and glass build that will look right at
home in any gourmet kitchen. $1,000

Fast Tire Repairs with Patchnride
This ride-saving gadget permanently seals
punctures with just the flip of a switch!
If you're turning the pedals a lot, you're bound to get
a flat. While knowing how to change your own tire is
required knowledge for any dedicated cyclist, it can
be a real pain—especially with high-performance
racing tires. The Patchnride permanently repairs
punctures in less than a minute—and without
removing the wheel from the bike. A leak detector
(included in the tool) aids in finding the puncture.
Simply pull out any debris, pinch the tire, insert the
tool and inject the loaded repair cartridge. The gap
between the tire is then filled with the patch material,
securing you'll be on your way in to time—though
you'll need your own pump to get back on the road.
Specially designed for high-performance tubular
racing tires, Patchnride works on any tire with a
tube, from a beach cruiser to a kid's bike to a
downhill mountain bike. And, at just 100 grams, the
tool won't weigh you down.

Significant Ferrari Events
Aug 8-10. Southeast Regional Mountain Trip. Once
again we are going to meet in a central location with
our Ferrari friends from Tennessee, Georgia, South
Carolina, and Alabama. We plan for this to be the
premier event of our Southeast Region’s calendar
and hope that you’ll come cool off with us at the
higher altitude.

Anyone who's ever tried traveling with their golf
clubs knows the pain that is trying to drag around a
heavy bag full of rattling metal sticks — and that's
not even mentioning the troubles of transporting
them on a motorcycle or bike. DV8 Golf Clubs aim to
get rid of all these problems by putting a full set of
clubs in a lightweight backpack. Thanks to a
patented quick-change coupler, you can switch from
a graphite to a steel shaft or from a 5-iron to a putter
in under 3 seconds, all without giving up the
performance you'd expect from a full-size set — or
dealing with the hassle of hauling them around.

Oct 18-20. Euro Auto Festival. This yearly event is
held at the BMW plant on Spartanburg, SC and is
featuring the Ferrari. This will be a great event for the
car enthusiast with driving and technical seminars,
high speed ride alongs on the BMW track, as well as
a concours if you would like to display your vehicle.
Last year there were over 350 cars being displayed.
Oct 24-26. Tail of the Dragon and Gatlinburg, TN.
Building on the success of our Bourbon Trail Tour
last year, we’re planning to head south and drive the
Tail of the Dragon. Join us for three days of
camaraderie and a drive you’ll always remember.
