Today I drove around 200 mls, the last 50 miles around 100-130mph in a freeway following a VW station wagon :-)

It was very sunny (although still cold), no other Ferraris seen (in fact I haven�t seen any other Ferraris this year), only one police car seen, luckily I wasn�t speeding at the time so no harm done. Driving within speed limits very difficult when the roads are clear. TR really is a very capable GT machine.

All in all, a great day! Love the car.

Regards, LC

I did a hill country tour with the Porsche Club today--in my 550--by their invitation. Nice folks, nice cars, nice roads...but I never want to see another cattle guard again as long as I live! We must have crossed every one there is out here.

Great drive early this morning! Did one of my routes with good mix of twisties and straights twice. The 360 just love it! Drove by what looked like a Corvette Club caravan along the way. Waves all around. Cool guys.

Funny thing - I woke up, flipped on the TV and Magnum PI was on. Couldn't resist and took a nice morning drive along the California coast - the weather was perfect. It was indeed a great morning!!

Just finished a run in the backroads. Not much traffic impeding my progress (and fun) until an idiot Volvo decided to block me on my way back to the house. Thought I had the perfect run until that point.

Not today since I had the day off, but Thursday I took it to work. Of course, driving it is against doctor's orders. I'm recovering from a fractured hip and was told to lay off standards. But it's been 2 months, I can just about walk (the force on my leg from that is just less than my awfully stiff 308 clutch), and for crying out loud, it needs to be driven. Probably the only one in Houston driving a Ferrari yesterday with crutches in the passenger seat.

I drove my Europa yesterday in 88 degree, stop and go rush hour traffic for 45 min. to get sashimi. It ran hot but didn't boil over. If it did I'd not only have been stranded but by the time I would have gotten home also had $100 worth of bait. But I HAD to take her out for a spin as it had been 4 whole days!

I drove mine for the last two days. Went out for dinner last night and the wife and I couldn't eat all our Calabash Chicken so we opted for a Doggie Box. I put it in the trunk and It stayed nice and warm for the trip home. My wife now calls the car the $40,000 bun warmer and it now has one use. Some people are too practical.

I'm looking out my office window at mine right now. Not exactly the best day weather-wise, but who cares?
