Yes, please Bill, "wee" what you can do, i'd really appreciate it... Yes, i'd say you got your money's worth, considering you got books and records and it is a collector's item... | ||

Oh yeah, mine has a spec sheet in the upper right hand corner, it just doesn't show up well in the picture. | ||

There is no way you can put this puzzle together without that picture, trust me. Maybe I can scan it and e-mail it to you. I'll wee what I can do over the weekend. So, I may have paid the highest price, but at least mine came with "books and records"... | ||

Bill, am i cheating if i look at the picture you posted for help- mine came without that little picture you have and it's kinda hard trying to put it together without it... i got a few tiny pieces together, but nothing substantial... i found three corners, but i'm still looking for the fourth... Mine also has some words on it, Torque, Horsepower, Top Speed, etc.- your picture is too small for me to tell if your puzzle has that, too... Does it...? Because Ron and i don't own actual real Ferraris, he was referring to the puzzle as my "Ferrari", thus the question regarding whether it was a manual or F1 transmission, interior, etc. It's in our imaginations... 0.99 is more than a heck of a deal, it's down right incredible- Patrick, that's awesome... Bill, i got my puzzle off eBay and the winning bid was between $10.50 & $12 (i don't remember the exact number); include shipping & handling and i paid just under $15... Not a bad deal, if i do say so, myself... | ||

As the picture clearly shows the car in our puzzle has an F1 transmission. I doubt that there are two versions... $0.99 is a heck of a deal. We bought ours at a shop called Tuesday Morning in Peachtree City, GA for $29. They said the original price was $66, which is highly unbelieveable. We bought it as a very last minute Christmas gift, so the price was not the deciding factor, and besides,as we all know, we don't buy Ferraris for their investment potential do we? DES, what did you pay? | ||

Yes, Jerry, that's a priceless puzzle, you hold on that, mmkay...? Ron, LOL, i wasn't sure what you meant, at first, i'm sorry... It's got a 6 speed manual transmission... i'm still deciding on the racing bucket seats as this will be my every day driver... The interior is black and it's a got 1,000 disc cd changer... &, most importantly, i have the most awesome cup holders... Also, there's this funny key in the glove compartment with a thing attached that says 'Enzo'... You don't think... Naah... It couldn't be... ...could it...? | ||

Des, I know that. It's your puzzle, and you can make the interior anything you want it to be.. If it were mine, it would be w/the 6sp,and the racing bucket seats.. | ||

For those of you in the western US, stop by a store you might not normally frequent: 99cents Only stores. I went into one in the Long Beach, CA area about 6 months ago and found this exact puzzle for 99cents. It was the only one they had and I haven't seen another since - but keep your eyes open. | ||

Bad thing about that puzzle is: Unlike a regular puzzle, after it hangs on your wall for more than 2 years, you have to take it all apart and send it back to the dealership for a complete overhaul. | ||

We're also going to mount it. From what I understand, you have to get two pieces of mounting board, place one under the puzzle and one above it, flip it, spray glue on the puzzle and press the mounting board onto it. Has anyone done this? Any advice? | ||

Bill, that's awesome...! When i'm done, i'm gonna mount it and hang it on the wall... i actually finished taking some pictures a little while ago... Went a little over board with the camera- took over 20 pictures...! i might have to weed through them and only post the good ones... (or post them all and piss everyone off...! ) | ||

Bill, i just borrowed my Aunt's digital camera... i'll be taking some shots of the tin, the puzzle pieces (a before photo), my new gloves (VROOM!) and i might as well snap a few of my 1:18s... i'll upload them tomorrow or Saturday... & yeah- the tin is awesome...! Oh & Bill- the doctor says the only that will me down is a ride in a Formula 1 car- anyone know where i can get one...? | ||

My son Danny and I just finished the one he got for Christmas. Its a huge undertaking. Better than prozac--maybe the experience will calm you down a little, DES!!!  BTW, it comes in a great tin that looks like a 360 wheel and tire. I have a picture, but can't seem to resize it to fit F-chat. | ||

Ron, i'm not sure if you can see that in the picture, but i'll check... i believe it's a picture of the outside of the car, only, although, there might be pictures of the inside of the car, on the side of the can... | ||

Jerry, no, but when i have the opportunity, i'll take one... i'll take one of the puzzle when i'm done, too, sort of a before & after... It'll look great on my wall... For now, though, i'll just get a shot of the can and the pieces and i'll get a shot of my gloves( ), too... Arlie, i try to spend a few minutes each day thinking about other things, but it doesn't always pan out... Maybe i need a coach... | ||

DES, we're worried about you. Take a deep breath, relax, and concentrate on non-Ferrari items at least 15 minutes each day. | ||
