What brand of exhaust / mods did you implement to achieve the "LOUD" sound? You GOTTA love a Gransport with the "flaps" open at full throttle! Also, when are ya' gonna bring out the "F550 Fiorano" in your profile? As a huge 550 fan, I'd love to see it. I had thought the "F" (F1 style paddle-shift transmission) and the "Fiorano" (Fiorano Handling Package) didn't come out until the 575. Is yours an "interim" car? I don't seem to make it out to as many local shows as I'd like (Maybe I've missed your car multiple times), but I try to make it to as many of the FCA meets as I can...hope to see the 550 out sometime!
What I see in this 250 GTO-R is the spirit of Ferrari. That is, in my book, outstanding!! Many of us take to preserving existing cars while you and Haley build one that is aligned with Enzo Ferraris mind set of performance. Many of us in the FOC look forward to seeing this car and hearing about the modifications. I have seen this baby grow up and if it isnt part of our car event, I am a bit let down. IMHO it is all about the fun and enthusiasm between people with similar interests. One lady at the Naperville show was freaking out because she thought it was a real 250 GTO and she knew what a 250 GTO was worth. When we told her it wasnt a real one, she had a good laugh, as we all did that was priceless.
Andreas speaks the truth!

Andreas, when will you be appearing as a guest on the 'What NOT to Wear' show? I know.....I know, you look exactly like Tom Selleck. I always get you and him confused with each other!
Great shots. Finally I get to see what you needed the Modena plate for... When my fellow compatriots and I came to this country, the Americans called us parrotts for our colorful clothing. Some of that seems to be still shining through... I like to think of myself more as a distant brother to Steve Matchett. An idea that flatters my ego.
