Ferrari

I got the 164 ready for Cars & Coffee tomorrow. I just finished up a few minutes ago and all I can say is WOW! I had no idea just how dirty it was inside and out. I am very impressed with Meguiar's products. I've never seen it shine like this and pictures definitely don't do it justice. Anyway, I hope you guys have a good day. :thumbsup:

JazzyO recently sent me copies of fascinating pictures taken during 15-18 May 1973 during a visit to the factory, Fiorano and Scaglietti by UK Ferrari dealers. Taken by Neil Bruce with evocative captions one sees great pictures of current production Ferraris in the process of creation. The wonderful Dino 246 GT and GTS, 365 GT/4 2+2 and the Daytona 365 GTB/4 and GTS/4. And prototype 365 BBs being thrashed around Fiorano with Enzo Ferrari in attendance. And one picture of a 365 BB on the production line. With the caption that this is the first production BB. Thus exactly 40 years ago the first production BB was in the process of being created. As I sit in an Irish pub in the old walled town of Dubrovnik, I raise a toast to the BB. Here's to one of the most beautiful machines of all time. Cheers!

As we prepare for the big move to Santa Fe I find more cabinets full of Ferrari stuff. I have about 17 years of the Ferrari Market Letter from Volume 9 Issue #8 in Feb 1989 to volume 31 issue #7 in April 2006, practically complete although there may be a few missing. Really not interested in shipping so would expect that someone in the MAR would want them. Please see: For Sale Ferrari for $99 - Ferrari Life Best regards,

A couple of weeks ago and after several extensive test drives, we added a McLaren MP4-12C Spider to the garage. It is a phenomenal car. Extremely well behaved when you want ti to be an a completely focused road race car when you want to push. Roof is the best of any Spider I have driven and a great piece of engineering. Zero turbo lag, huge amounts of grip, and very very quick off the line. Overall we are very impressed. Attached Images

This will be my ongoing build thread to make a 348 motor work in a front engine car and rear wheel drive. I am adapting a Ford bell housing and a Borg-Warner T5 transmission. With the help of a friend (with a large CMM unit) I was able to measure the block and bell. I have created the CAD file for the adapter plate and I am sending that off for machining. Other plans I will be documenting in this thread 355 crankshaft Cylinder head work. Big valves, shim under, cams, porting EFI with a Lancia Thema intake etc Stay tuned Reed H

We have found a lovely 30000 mile 1997 456GTA, Going for PPI this week. Here's the question Given that the maintenance will be brought up to date and that no major problems arise at the PPI... what should we expect the average yearly maintenance budget to be? We will be driving the car once or twice weekly, highway driving mostly.... I'd guesstimate roughly 3000 miles/year. Steve

Good evening everyone, I figured I would join up on this forum since I have been lurking here for quite some time. I used to own a Turbocharged Lotus Elise that was an absolute blast and it is where my username is derived from. Ever since I was a kid I had dreamed of driving/riding in a Ferrari. My Lotus allowed me to meet and befriend people that owned my ultimate dream car. I remember when I rode in my first Ferrari with my friend. It was a Scuderia and the sound and handling absolutely blew my mind. I threw him off when I told him it was all that raw, but coming from a Lotus anything is pretty much luxury. Eventually my friend allowed me to drive his Scuderia to a car show (my wife was my collateral). That was the scariest moment of my life. I drove maybe 10 mph below the speed limit the whole time until he made my wife call me and tell me to hurry up after he got tired of me lagging behind. A few months later I had the honor of driving his Challenge Stradale as well. He is a big reason that the Ferrari fire is burning in me. I am quite a few years away from being in the position to purchase my own Ferrari as family and work are my priorities at the moment, but when the day comes, I know it will be well worth the wait. In the meantime, I will research and learn as much as possible until that day arrives. RB
