Hi Rob, welcome to the forum. Sure, what's not to like about a Ferrari? I wouldn't mind owning one myself, and yours looks very nice. Love the engine especially.

I am not one of the sissy Ferrari guy either I have done all the work on the car since I bought it 13 years ago, Contray to popular belief these cars are as close as you can get to a foreign muscle car. At only 3 liters the car has no problem reaching 155mph and shooting flames out the exhaust pipes. Burnouts however can only achieved at the replacement of a very time consuming and expensive clutch! However since vintage US cars have been tipping the scales of insanity cars like mine are pretty cheap again!!I am on 3 other Ferrari chaat sites so my maian reason is the pillows. I have had them on ebay for 6 months but I just figured out that only reaching the real audience for something like this would be successful. I am not interested so much in the money but finding them a good home! Here are some more shots of some of my projects. Do not be fooled we are cut from the same cloth, just have a slighty different passion!!!

Welcome to CHR, Rob! A baby Ferrari ! How nice. Good looking too, I might add. I dabbled in Ferrari's back in the early 70's (pre-wedding bliss). Had a friend who owned two - a 250 and a 330, who talked me into it. My first was a 250 Lusso which I had for two years and tnen sold to get a 365GTC. Had that one two years then...... marriage. It was sold shortly afterwards. Of course, back in those days a brand new GTC cost less than $16k, a new 599 will set you back $265K. So I think I will not be returning to those fun days of my youth anytime soon.
Hope you enjoy your stay here and participate often.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
