Hi Adnaan,

I try to post additions in the "what's new" section when I remember to do so, but may follow your suggestion if there is a need.

Hi Luke, http://www.tomyang.net/cars/garvey50.jpg Scott Garvey and I have been discussing where to put his speaker, and this was one of the proposed locations (with the help of photoshop), but it was rejected for something under the dash without the speaker cabinet. There may just be enough room to ...

I told Yale I would be interested in attending, but would have to ride "shotgun" in his car because I doubt my car would be done in time!

Hi Joel, I don't think this "330" emblem is easy to find becaue I remember Francois looking for one for a customer. Have you called all the "usual suspects?" Somebody may have one off of another car. After seeing what can be done by a laser cutter and CNC machine, one (or a dozen) could be made up f...

Hi Adnaan, Love the site. Been following it quietly for about a year now, and without a shadow of doubt, I think its the best site on the net. I'll let you know when I get my Ferrari. Thanks for the kind words, and please let us know when you make the leap into Ferrari ownership! This site continues...

Hi Deane, I own a pair of Simpsons, but that was for my track days with the 911. Although they are great for track use, they're a little overkill for the street. Luckily I don't have EEE feet, so most of my shoes are fine for driving narrow spaced pedals. It's a double jointed ankle I wish I had! Tom

I would generally agree with Fest about buying a 2+2 for price, but I have received many e-mails from people who were looking for a car that they can take their family along. any one with pretensions about being interested in them because of their scaricity wanting to preserve them for posterity etc...

Hi Derek,

It all depends which show you go to. Small local shows will let anything attend, but you may not be allowed into some of the larger officially sanctioned events.

I say do what makes you happy.

I was thinking the other day, how it would be just about impossible for me to sell my 330 America because of all the things I've been through with this car. It was my first Ferrari, my first Ferrari Restoration, and the first car I had a hand in every aspect of its rebuild. There's a lot of water un...

The sides of the console my have to pulled out a bit to clear the defroster box as the box pivots. The wires and the heater control...

derekf, Thanks for the kind words. In my observations, each Marque seems to have its own factions from devout purists, to guys who just want to keep their cars alive. I fall somewhere in between. I believe in preserving the history and the intentions of the original designers and engineers, but will...
