Here's a stock dealer photo of the car on the lot:



(BTW, the stain under the car, was NOT from mine :thumbsup

I purchased this Ferrari in January from Foreign Cars International and apparently neglected to introduce myself. I drive the Maranello almost daily. I am still learning about these cars and have a thirst for all things technical....my background in is electrical engineering and finance. A prior owner told me he drove this car in the 2002 GUMBALL 3000 Rally. Best, Doug

Terry,

Thanks for the welcome. Nice to finally read your posts again. Always informative and on the mark. No one provided more relevant material than you in that other virtual world. You played a large part in the successful upgrades I have made to my car thus far. More to come.

Dominic,

Thank you as well. Car is currently in Valley Forge for the summer. I had planned on leaving it in Naples but missed it so much I flew down in early June and drove it back to PA over a 5 day period. I stopped to see friends and play golf along the way taking many fine non-interstate roads quite frequently. They were the best 5 days of driving I have ever eperienced. I enjoyed it so much I am planning on driving it back down in October over a 5 to 7 day period. This after I swore I would never drive from PA to FL again after the last time back in 2005. Of course, then, I wasn't driving the proper (or any) Ferrari for that type of road trip.

As far as local events in PA I have only attended the C & C West Chester event twice. I am considering going to the Ferrari Fall Festival in Florham Park, NJ on Sept. 18th.
