Of course, I had to put her on the lawn for a few photos...

Since this is THE Ferrari Forum, I included two of my previous love affairs.

Forza,

Dane

P.S. I CAN fit my six month old in the back of the Volvo...comfortably.

LOVE IT!!!!! :green:

 

[Stradale]

Dane. I love the Volvo. It's a classic!

Dane,
You went from a Ferrari (oh, wait, 2 Ferraris) to seeking a Porsche and you settled on that old Volvo? I'm not knocking your car my friend, but I have seen you go from a young, married and in love, Army Officer living in Hawaii and driving a Ferrari to an old family man with a kid hanging out the rear window of the old Volvo in 2 short years.


Please don't take offense to this, I have the greatest respect for you. It amazes me, as I'm sure it does you, how quickly a person's lifestyle and priorites can change. I guess with your new career as a combat helicopter pilot you will get greater thrills than any Ferrari could ever give you. The Enzo is shit compared to what you are driving. I drive oil rigs and supertankers for a living. For me, 10 mph is a speed that requires my undivided attention. Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to have the skills and opportunity to strap on an Apache and make it do what it was designed for.

You're a lucky man Dane! When you come home you can take your wife and your son out for a relaxing drive in your Volvo.

I can now see where Chrysler gets the PT Cruiser (or whatever its called over there) from! What a style! The exact opposite of the finned American cars across the water.

dane

now you can enter in classic rally's with that
that's what it gets used for a lot here in europe

 

[Andrew]

Keep that Volvo for life. It is a classic and a beautiful one at that!

Dane...can I please come down and see that Volvo in person?
I promise to take lots of pictures. :lol:


That is such a nice looking example!

 

[Dane]

360,

By all means! It'd be fun to meet you. I'm planning on attending the car show in Oxford on 7 Aug 04 in case you don't want to come to Fayetteville and want to see other cars as well. Either way, I'd look forward to it!

Forza,

Dane

 

[360 Spyder]

Hey Dane, please let me know more about this show in Oxford. That's like 30 minutes from me.

And, last time I was in Fayette-Nam, I was picking up a Ditty move check.

Awesome! Thanks and I'll see you there.

My morning was free that day anyway! Now I have something cool to do morning and night on the 7th.

 

[Dane]

Sold the Volvo...couldn't stand not having a GTB. More to follow shortly... very shortly. 8)

P.S. How have you all been? Andrew? Dirk? Dr Bob? And how could I forget the crazy off-shore driller named...uh...Pete, was it?

 

[Boxer]

now I am very curious

 

[Dr. Bob]

Everything ok here... Tell us more about that GTB

 

[Dj Dirk]

Hey Dane, how are things up in the Sky

so euhm?
back for a Mondial? or a GTB?

 

[Boxer]

are you going carb or injection ?

 

[Dane]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the nice reception especially after I've been away from the site. I sold the Volvo and my motorcycle. After a good, hard search, I just sent a check for a 1981 308 GTSi. Multiple award winner at local FCA meets. I'll take delivery on or about 19 May 05. I can't wait. I'll post what photos I do have which are mostly close-ups.

BTW, flying is going well. I get to actually shoot two or three Hellfires, multiple rockets and a whole lot of 30mm this June.

We just had our second (and final!) child; a little girl named Holly. Our boy, Lance, is now 16 months old and adjusting, as are we, to a little sister.

My wife realized how much I missed the Ferrari(s) and finally OK'd the purchase of another. The woman is patient and understanding, to say the least. I'll attach more photos latuh.'

Thanks, again, all. I appreciate the warm welcome. Dane

 

[Andrew]

Dane,

I would say you are doing pretty good! Three Ferraris in three years, two children in less time (congrats on the new baby by the way) and a new helicopter to pilot! I remember you wife was also a Blackhawk pilot, is she training on the Apache, or are the kids keeping her busy?

I love the 308, looks awesome and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

 

[Dane]

Andrew,

Yes, I am a pretty happy guy. It's my wife that's going nuts!
She does fly Blackhawks but insists she'll never get in an Apache; she's too proud.

She knew how much I missed the Ferrari(s) and made me a deal. She said I had to keep it for a long time and not have it shipped to North Carolina since we are moving to Idaho late this year. I thought those were terms with which I certainly could live.... :wink:

Great job site with the site. I'm proud of the work you've done. Dane
