Ferrari Fun Day

Although it rained a great day was had by all as many of our members took a spin around the circuit. A big thank you to the Ferrari Owners' Club of New Zealand that ensured that this day was a great success. The MD Ferrari Fun Day is special in that Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo "Dino" had muscular dystrophy. Having studied engineering in Switzerland, Dino contributed to the V6 engine design of the Fiat Dino (1968 - 1976).
