    I was a C&D subscriber since the 4th grade (1984 to 2009 when all the old writers had finally left) and a recent post in the black TR thread brought back the memory of this magazine that arrived in my mailbox so many years ago. Click on Slideshow for a better view.

    I'm pretty sure it subconsciously influenced me to marry a redhead and buy a flying mirror black TR many years later!

    That is so awesome. You're serious, right? If so, what a story.

    Get it?? Black red head for a black red head!! :D

    LOL...that would be great but I'm not sure I could talk her into getting her hair done 80s style and doing a shot like that. My birthday is coming up...hmmm.

    My intro to the Testarossa was most definitely Miami Vice. I still remember the episode where Crockett learned of his new undercover car and was raving "340 HP under the hood", etc, haha.

    Ok--that's it. I have to do this.

    One daughter has red hair....same length as in pic. She is also a hairdresser in Corona del Mar. I think she'd be up to the challenge....stick her in the black '86 TR. Now have to find a cheap pair of yellow sunglasses....I'll get on it...

    People tell my better half she looks like Susan Sarandon all the time...She just doesn't have the longer hair as the pic. It is in the works!!!
