A multitude of books, handbooks, shop manuals, literature, CDs, etc. from Kurt @ ferraribooks.com. What a pleasure to deal with!

Hey Tom, I went to Exotic Car World on Friday and checked out the 512 BBi while I was there. The car is perfect. I couldn't find a flaw on the body or in the interior. It's a two owner car, and both owners are Dallas residents. It has all the books, tools, and even the plug in shop light. It was recently at Norwoods getting a new clutch, so they've had it apart and could probably give you the low down on the engine internals. If you're still in the market, this car is gorgeous. |

The Boxer sure looks good on the website. There seem to be a lot of Boxer's out there, but this one may be worth looking a little deeper. |

I didn't see any flaws, but it was hard to see anything through the drool! I wasn't really looking for 'flaws', but nor did I notice any. The only thing that struck me as strange was the cloth seats. I realize that it's a euro car and it isn't unusual across the pond, but it was the first Ferrari I'd seen with cloth. Easily changed I'd guess. |

yes thats the one - talked with Rob about it when he was up here - he also said it was nice. I am looking at a few near by me first but may end up taking a real look at that one - it looks great in pics. I will let you know if I need any help. One issue with the car is they have been unable to get the local ferrari dealership to provide recent service records. did you see any flaws with the car? |

Tom, if it's the Black boxer, I think we've already seen the car. It looked perfect. I've even sat in it! It was at Norwoods for service during the dyno day and it got plenty of attention from us. If you send it back for an inspection, I'd be happy to go by again and listen to it run, etc. Robs office is even closer to Norwoods than mine, so I'm sure he can be convinced. |

Hey Tom, if you need Rob and me to go over and drive that Boxer to be sure it's mechanically sound, just let us know! I'll check the redline and it's cornering limits for you. |

Ordered a Tubi exhaust and Krank Vents from Nick's Forza Ferrari. Had a recent opportunity to have Nick port and polish my water pump, but he was too busy to do it. |
