David- Just go to the Forum tab above and select. Then pick the section where you want to start a new thread (say Boxers or Ferrari Discussion) and select. You will see a New Thread bubble just above the dialogue box. Select that and, presto, you can start your own thread.

Thanks a bunch! I just couldn't sort it out.

Hey guys!

I guess I'm such a newbie that I can't start a new thread yet. Contacted the moderator to give me a hand, but no response.

As we discussed, could one of you start up a new thread with a title something like "Back when they were just cool cars and not commodities" or similar? Then put a link in this thread and we can all go over there and make up tales about the "good old days".

I'll also send the link to some of the old gang. A lot of us still stay in touch.

Thanks, David

You should be good to go with full thread/posting rights.

Does anybody have pictures of the engine of the NART 365 gt4 BB competizione? I'm trying to make a lego model, but can't find any suitable pictures.

Hi, been away from this thread for quite a while. I am now sorting out thousands of slides and will post anything I find on the BB.

I'm getting a special tour of the factory before the Ferrari Challenge Finale at Mugello in October and am making a little photo book for our host showing pix from my '79 factory trip as well as photos of Riverside and Virginia City in that era.

The California photos are crazy. Some of everything of course, 250 GTOs, 250 LM, tons of Daytonas, 275 GTB's, four cams, 275 GTB/C's, 312 PB, pontoon fender Testa Rossas, you name it! I will post some when I get organized.

:thumbsup:

I just found some more shots of the car at Riverside. I agree that it doesn't look as good as it did in Le Mans livery. I was the guy in the red driving suit. That is Mike Sheehan in the red cap.

There are some very nice models of that exact car available. I just ordered one in the #86 Le Mans trim. Oddly, the year after I drove the Boxer, I drove the Red Lobster BMW M1 both at Riverside and Daytona. There is also a nice model of that car out there. I wasn't driving a whole lot back then. Life and money both got in the way, so I count my blessings that I got to drive some great cars.
