Default Video: The strange town where everyone owns a Ferrari

Video: The strange town where everyone owns a Ferrari



Welcome to the Netherlands, where the houses are all perfect - almost to a Truman Show level of creepiness - and everyone, without exception, drives a Ferrari. Most people seem to own at least two. At least, that's what the Netherlands looks like when a Ferrari club rents a bunch of vacation bungalows for a group gathering.

The video shows a solid collection of 575s, California Spiders, 430s and 599s, with some 308s and a Boxer thrown in for good measure. Imagine the glorious sound that erupts in the morning when everyone leaves... Hit the jump for a walkthrough of the fantasyland.

Just busting stones, mang.

Seems pretty cool. The noise coming from that area has to sound epic...

Reminds me of when I stayed at Highlands Inn during Monterey car week, exotics all over the place (most rooms booked months in advance and they had covered carports).
