    Since Rob has OK'd the release of identifying info; I can disclose that the city is Los Angeles (including surrounding areas) and that EarlyFerrari is now posting from the LA Public Library. A name is not certain, so not appropriate at this time.

    His statement:

    "You guys are so, so, one sided as a group."

    is also untrue and I resent it.

    Just the other Day Bill and I were arguing about whether Cream or Blind Faith was a better band.

    Figures, probably some state employee, my tax dollars being wasted. We must all be bored because this guy hasn't said one thing that holds water.

    If the bar code scanner or the copy machine at the LA Library are speaking to you again, have you tried adjusting your tin foil hat or getting back on your meds?

    I have zoomed that photo big time and I can't seem to see any signs of Photoshopping. However I do think the tools shown are NOT factory originals. The plastic handled screw driver and the sockets on the clip do NOT look like circa 1958 to me.

    Hmmm, link in the youtube video lead to this.


    Your comments only prove that you too are also part of a "major German collector car fraud conspiracy", Mr. Marinello, of which, as you may know, also currently involves the "current" Porsche Factory and Jürgen Barth. I am a Specal Investigator with the C.C.F.B

    and:

    http://USCCFB.com (Trademark and copyright protected).

    Wonder if RM knows their copyrighted image of 0714TR is being used as part of his logo?

    Interesting, the only website that makes mention of the "USCCFB" is his :D. This is a fantastic train wreck, and he only has himself to blame. That website looks like it was put together in about 10 mins.

    Frankly, at this stage in the game, McQueen908Unabomber or whatever his name is.. is ready to join the pantheon of all-time Fchat clowns beside Andales and possibly Goldstein.

    On to more pressing matters- Fchat the movie.

    VIZSLA, here's what I'm seeing so far;
    I nominate Krasnavian to Produce,
    Napolis to Direct,
    *IF* we're lucky we can get Haskell Wexler as Cinematographer.
    Since no one else has stepped forward, I'm willing to play Rob Lay for SAG scale plus a % of back end receipts.

    Umm... if said popcorn is consumed while watching Fchat the movie, I get a cut of the concession revenues. It's in my contract.

    This pic is floating around, supposedly of the Drogo body made for 0738 but subsequently fitted to a 250GTE chassis. Mr. Massini noted, in a previous f-chat post, that it was a replica, however. Does anyone have a pic of the actual 0738 Drogo body?

    Seems I've already been cut out of my own project.
    Typical Hollywood BS!
