    I would not lower her if you wanted to drive her in the real world. Looks like a pretty nice 575M.

    I don't know about that Terry.

    The guys took out 11 turns from the front and 17 from the rear and I personally think it rides better than ever now.

    Guess I am going to have to explain this one. First, prices go down in the winter. Second, "Winter is coming." is a warning from a very popular HBO show.

    Wise words from our fchat Sr professor.

    While we’re talking about school and professors…

    I often have a recurring dream that I am back in school and having severe anxiety about not being prepared for an exam…

    when I was finishing my MBA in 1999… My masters thesis was on the effects of the euro conversion on European economics… Last night my nightmare was me walking into my masters thesis defense in a cold sweat…
    Feeling unprepared… And when I open the door there was Terry dressed in a military pilot flight suit… With one of those long professor sticks to point to the chalkboard noting all of these items that he was going to rebut… Terry was fair in his assessment (I was grateful) but his teaching aid was quite distracting as a very inappropriately dressed Pirelli calendar girl!

    Any dream with a Pirelli calendar girl cannot be all bad. Sounds like you passed your thesis both times.

    Again, maranello are not disappearing...
    Pictures taken during a French FOC trip, note the different available colors (my car is the red one, when buying a used car I do not care ;) )

    Another boring Red/Black Maranello. Does have three pedals and 21mm anti-roll bars, however.

    Stephen- I bet the front anti-roll bar is even bigger than 21 mm.

    Are you saying screwing the bottom spring support down to lower the car made it ride better? What you do is to soften the car and make it dangerous at very high speed. I bought a Maserati 4200 that according to the workshop bills in the US was "lowered for track use". That car was not possible to drive stable at 100-120 mph. Car was low and not driveable. I put the spring support back where it was once the car left the factory and the car raised about 1-2 inches and the car was rock solid.

    Do not have that one memorized, but big for sure. 27 mm near as I can tell.
