I'll be damned, I think he's got it! You're right DES, the bumPers give it away ever time. And the wheels on the 328 aren't stock, thats why I picked that picture. Congrats, you're a Ferraristi!

Jim - the front bumbers give it away...! The bottom one is a 308, the top one is a 328 - both GTS, of course; also like the black TR between the white Corvette and the MerceDES in the top picture... :-)

The wheels on the 328 don't look stock, either; not that i'm complaining, just an observation... :-)

By the way, a guess won't work. You have to tell us how you spotted the 328.

Ok DES, you're on. A pat on the back if you win. Is the 328 on the top or the bottom? This is a test for DES only!

Once we arrived for ice cream, we emerged from the exotic machines that had darted us there. A yellow Testarossa, a red Testarossa and an Azzuro blue 328GTS - oh, and a Durango...! Didn't wanna forget that...! :-)

The locals quietly admired the captivating vehicles with a few kind comments from some passers-by. We placed our orders and were soon sitting around a picnic table, enjoying our treats... Josie and i switched places and she was to ride back with Andrea and i, with Augustine. The ride back was inevitable and i was only too happy when we unanimously agreed we were all ready to go back... i slurped the last of my chocolate shake (with extra chocolate syrup), tossed the cup into the receptacle and eagerly made my way towards Gus' car... A few pictures later and we were on the move... Back through the town, more locals ogled the rarities slowly inching through the traffic. Some just stared, some grinned, some waved and some even shouted requests like, "do a burn out...!"

Soon, we were out of town and back on the country road, jumping through every window of opportunity that the broken double yellow line offered... It is a sight unparalleled by any other to see two Testarossas driving about the country side, wide rears wiggling back and forth as they command the road beneath them.

Soon, we were back into another town, whereupon, we pulled over so someone who knew how to get back home could get in the lead; no sooner were we on the side of the road, some idiot pulled up next to Hutch and verbally accosted him. He pulled away and waved us on; confused, we just sat there, wondering what was going on. Then, said idiot pulls up next to Gus and begins spewing crap about us not driving safely and so forth... None of us drove without safety in mind and we only passed when the double yellow line was broken... This guy was being an assh0le... We pulled away behind Bruce, Andrea and Josie in tow... Safely and without harm, we all met back at the house; Andrea had to take a different route since this moron blocked the road the rest of us turned on and she was stuck behind him... Some people really know how to foul up a Sunday afternoon...

A brief moment in the driveway to make sure everything was in order and that everyone was okay and then we were inside... Alas, the hands on the clock just spun around and before we knew it, it was time to make the trek home... Getting through to the Transbridge Bus Lines was impossible, though, so my trip back seemed a little more sketchy...

Jeremiah jumped in Hutch's TR and Gus & Josie followed in the 328; then out of nowhere, Andrea suggests her and Bruce drive me back home - all the way back home...! To Long Island...! How nice can two people be...?

We jumped in the Durango and the three of us headed to the Island; we were all a bit hungry, so i convinced them to have dinner out on the Island and so we did...! How lucky can i get...? A wonderful weekend with great people, a fabulously unbelievably ridiculously gorgeous ride in a Testarossa and then dinner with the two wonderful people who made it all happen. Dinner was great and we took our time, enjoying life, laughing and just having a good time. All my troubles were neatly tucked in my back pocket as an evening with truly genuine friends illuminated my soul with the radiance of the goodness in life, we rarely get to see anymore.

Dude... what's better than that...?
