I thought you were supposed to SELL your F-car when the youngster arrived - not get your 1st one!... The wife actually encouraged it. She says I never buy myself anything - and I had to buy her an Expedition (see background of the picture) before I got my F car. Small detail.

I can only imagine the hell you must have felt turning the key to realize a dead battery. Glad to hear everything turned out well. Good luck with her, Eric Byron (Bmyth) Junior Member Username: Bmyth Post Number: 149 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 2:28 am:    Scott... beautiful car. I've always admired the lines of the TR... maybe that's why I ended up with a "baby TR" (348)... hehe... Congrats... enjoy it!

Car arrived at 7 AM with a dead battery. After a trip to the local Goodyear dealer to get a $120 battery, the TR was fired up at 9 AM - sweet sound. I'll post more picture tomorrow...

Jean-Louis (Jlm348) Junior Member Username: Jlm348 Post Number: 54 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 9:00 pm:    Scott, post some pictures. If you would like more info on the ortega run, send me an e-mail [email protected] and I will be happy to foward you the invitation. It would be good to have another Trojan on our drives. That way we can gang up on Byron the Bruin.JK(Don't let the UCLA thing fool you he is a really nice guy) Matt Lemus (Mlemus) Intermediate Member Username: Mlemus Post Number: 1385 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 7:20 pm:    Scott It's desert imports.

Jean-Louis (Jlm348) Junior Member Username: Jlm348 Post Number: 52 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 9:18 pm:    Scott you should join us on the ortega run on February 23rd. About 40 Ferraris should be there and I know that myself, byron and Matt Lemus will be there at the least. Byron (Bmyth) Junior Member Username: Bmyth Post Number: 142 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 8:47 pm:    haha... no sleep for you! It doesn't matter if you sleep anyhow - in the event you DO fall asleep...you will probably wake up at 5am in a frenzy, thinking you overslept! By the way, you can probably expect a bit of delay from the driver's ETA... the driver may not have taken in account additional time at the scales or possible morning traffic... I was expecting delivery for my car at 9am, but he didn't arrive until 12:30pm... talk about a VERY LONG 3 1/2 HOURS!!! anyways, just thought I'd share with you my experience. Scott Stokes (Desert_trojan) New member Username: Desert_trojan Post Number: 15 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 8:01 pm:    The truck driver called me today - they deliver the car 7 AM tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! No sleep tonight!!!!!!!!

Matt Lemus (Mlemus) Intermediate Member Username: Mlemus Post Number: 1360 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 7:36 am:    Scott, I think there is a independant guy out there. I have his name and address at work. He is in Palm Springs. Scott Stokes (Desert_trojan) New member Username: Desert_trojan Post Number: 13 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 10:27 pm:    Being I'm in the desert area and there is not a authorized dealer here, does anyone have a suggestion for a reputable repair facility (with reasonable prices)? The closer to Palm Springs, the better. I've talked with Gary Bobbileff (Bobbileff Motors) in San Diego when searching for a TR to purchase - does anyone have any comments on his shop? Matt Lemus (Mlemus) Intermediate Member Username: Mlemus Post Number: 1349 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 10:26 am:    Congradulations from a Colorado Buff. Desert drives are a must in early spring and early winter. Summer in a Ferrari in the desert.....NAW Jordan Witherspoon (Jordan747_400) Junior Member Username: Jordan747_400 Post Number: 134 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, January 10, 2003 - 10:26 pm:    I got a bass player friend at USC right now...Im thinking about going there myself for the Early Music department. My friend said the music schools is EXTREMELY competive, so i may not like it Im more of a small school guy Although it seems that almost everybody here went to USC and has an F-car...hm...maybe I should go there after all! Eric Vartanian (Evartanian) Junior Member Username: Evartanian Post Number: 76 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Friday, January 10, 2003 - 9:53 pm:    Awsome, look at all these Trojans...I graduate in May, BA Econ with business minor. Congrats on the TR Scott! Truly one of my favorites, you must post pics when it arrives.

You will have to come join us on some of our rides Byron (Bmyth) Junior Member Username: Bmyth Post Number: 133 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, January 10, 2003 - 3:44 pm:    Scott, congratulations! I know EXACTLY what you are going through... when I had my car shipped from Miami, I was tracking it via GPS on a daily basis. The few hours just before it arrives is the worst, but it'll be well worth the wait! That's great...now we have more local So Cal Ferraristi - the list is growing by the minute!

Wired the money yesterday and bought my first Ferrari ('90 Testarossa - Red/Tan). The car has been loaded on the truck and its on the way to California. I'm so excited I think that I'll explode before it gets here in 5-7 days. Any drives planned in the Palm Springs area?
