    The F40 is 20 times more fun than the tractor. (I'm holding back my true feelings since the owner is an FChatter)

    While I have seen and photographed perhaps thousands of Ferraris in my time I have only gotten to sit in a few, so my list is short, and technically one of them was a Dino.

    1980? 308 GTS
    1965 166/206p s/n 0834


    Anyone near Belgium want to help me expand this list?? I am willing to travel to get the experience of a ride!!!

    Today I had the pleasure to drive a 2002 360 Spider F1. :) The newly formed South Texas Chapter of the Ferrari Club of America went for a drive today through the Texas Hill Country. One of the club members asked if I wanted to drive his car back after lunch and of course I said yes. :D It was about a 30 mile drive and it was my first time to drive a F1 and a Spider. Needless to say... today was a good day. :)
