    Yesterday I had the perfect day. I spent the day in Maranello at Atelier to spec out my 458 Speciale. Of course there was the factory tour in the morning, a wonderful lunch, and then a chance to sit down and talk Ferraris with Ferrari and how to make the best Ferrari for me.

    but there is more.... (!!!!!)

    This was not only a chance to make a really cool car, it was a media tour to create a feature story about the experience in a future publication of mine. I had the chance (for the first time ever) to walk the line and photograph the tour. I visited Corsa Cliente with camera in hand. And the best part (other than eating at Montana twice in one day) was to spend the night INSIDE Fiorano at Casa di Ferrari. I had breakfast to the sounds of two LaFerraris in the Fiorano paddock a stones throw away.

    Now as much as I would LOVE to, I cannot post any pictures at all from inside the factory (yet) which is fine by me as everyone will have to wait for the magazine to come out!

    Well there is one pict I can post in a few days. The pdf picture of this new Speciale of mine!
