Last I saw Art, this is what I got.

The Tub was damaged, and Ferrari found the molds, and they are making another tub.

The driver was hurt in the wreck, but not serious, and was with a customer,/friend of mine up at T-hill about 2 months ago. So, he is driving again. The injuries consisted of a damaged ankle ( I think fractured, but not 100%) and a few ribs broken. That is what I had heard from multiple sources.

Art made it sound as if it would DEFINETLY be put back together.

The driver that crashed the car was a Porsche factory driver- a really good driver who just underestimated the power of the car and didn't wait for the tires to warm up.

This is the guy that put it into the wall or something, right...? The tires weren't warm enough or something like that...? He's okay, right...?

I spoke to him at the Greenwich Concours for 15+/- minutes about his car. At that point his car was back in Italy being repaired. Apparently they have to remake all the parts that were damaged.


It should be running by the summer.
