The engine quit when I was backing the car. So I just repeat the start up procedure. The engine won't crank over because the gearbox was locked in reverse. The Ferrari mechanic found that the actuator was out of center and leaked badly. The loss of pressure weakened the actuator finger's ability to shift gears. |

The F1 actuator locked up near the end of a 3 day trip. Got the replacement parts but it took some time. |

I'm probably going to go up to Bruno's after the F1 race. Maybe get to his place around 1:30-2PM. |

I'll drive it to both.
Are we going to form a Seattle caravan up to Bruno's? DJ Parks mentioned that we could meet up with him in Arlington around 11:30AM then drive over. |

Just want to let everyone know that my car's back on the road and it felt SO GOOOOD!
I must complement Ferrari of Seattle for their hard work in finding the parts during a Factory one month holiday. Without their push, I might still be waiting until sometime next month. Thank you, Tino and the crew! |
