Ryan, Tenny and friends,

WOW! Thanks for the posts! I wish I could have been at the school when this was going on, but I had a meeting I could not reschedule.

I have heard from many kids (and a few parents) that the F40 was a hit.

Sunday morning we put the LM turbos on, interested to see how that goes!

Good for you, Chris. Must've been a banner day for the kids and Grant (it's not every day you can fry the tires in a school lot w/out risk of being busted). More guys like you should have cars like yours.

Puting on a show for the kids is "WAY COOL"...

Bravo....

one of my friends regularly visits schools and lets the kids even touch his Ferrari.....I'm not sure who gets the bigger kick out of it, him or the kids...

Sounds like 60 youngters became F car fans in a huge way! Wow, how cool. Talk about sharing the love. Very very cool. My 6 year old boy would have freaked with joy at that scene. I can't wait till Rob posts the video. We'll be looking for it. Great stuff. Thanks!

That is absolutley awesome Chris. Forget about 2nd graders flipping out I would have flipped out. Oh yeah, hey Chris did you get the LM turbos installed and what kinda power is the beast making now? Honestly Chris my hat goes off to you. You are very generous, and I think it is fantastic that you share the way you do.

Chris, if you send me a VHS copy I can have it on the net within minutes of receiving it. Not that hard to do if you have the server space and software. I finally do.

John, if Rob would call me and walk me through it, I would love to post the video.

Maybe I could finally do pic's of my Ferrari room including my F355 "desk".

I will try to this this weekend!

Grant Maiman (Team Redbull Formula Reneault) is staying with me right now, he went to my daughters school (2nd grade) and did a presentation on his racing career today, the kids thought this was way cool!

Grant then took them outside and showed them the F40. Our school has a huge parking lot that is not used anymore, but it is reguarrly "sealed" so the surface is evtremely smooth and slick.... well with the entire 2nd grade classes watching, along with the teachers and staff, Grant took the F40 for a quick spin, and did 360's and powerslides in the school parking lot to the cheers of all the kids!!

My wife filmed it, the smoke was so thick you could not see the car!

60 2nd graders were screaming for more!

These kids will never forget that!

You have to share these cars!

Chris Parr
