    19. First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it, lest thou foe shalt be a Ferrari.

    20. Thou shalt learn that concours is the French word for competition, as in concours d'elegance, and stop typing "concourse" like an idiot, because concourse is the word for a thoroughfare, such as a wide path through a park or a branch of an airport. ;)

    21. The garage that keeps my Ferrari shall always be in spotless condition, and have clean floors free of gas and oil drops.

    (This ties into the 22nd commandment) >>>>>

    22. I shall always have newspapers or large piece of cardboard placed on the garage floor beneath the engine and transmission.

    Many, many years ago there was a Road & Track article on what a Ferrari driver may or may not do, I thought might've got a run here, not to mention the humorous expose (perhaps less relevant), on what was in and what was not during sixties motor racin', anyone remember - as I've lost mine ?

    Regards

    25. ALWAYS check the welds on the tow hook under the front right chassis BEFORE pulling onto a flatbed towtruck,
    lest you want to see it almost roll through the neighbors fence.

    This has a whole new meaning to me since the last time I saw this thread.....

    I certainly try to meet all of the commandments, but admit to having broken a few of them.

    Number 62: If anyone driving a tricked out import with a driver less than age 20 asks me to "Rev it", I will ignore him like the radio is playing too loud.

    Number 63: If anyone over the age of 40 asks me to "Rev it", I will hit the accelerator a minimum of three times or until I receive a "thumbs up".

    Tarak K. Please change your Avatar...speaking of the Commandments, that SuperWoman is breaking -or causing F-Chatters to break - at least five of the Originals....
