Cavallino magazine

Really? My copy looked like a Swiss (?) cow had chewed it in the mouth.

My copy arrived in pristine condition with the additional cardboard packaging.
Sorry to hear yours was damaged.

 

It simply is amazing, my Motor Sport magazine and another couple, always arrive spotless in a plain envelope.

What gives?

Regards, Alberto

 

my subscription runs from #95 until today
in all the years I had not a single problem with damage, to late or non delivery
28 years.....WOW

 

Received today, FOC UK magazine, issue #240.
Freshly chewed by either a British or a Swiss cow.
Sadly FOC UK uses the cheapest plastic wrap. Not suited for such magazines.
It's really very tedious and nobody cares.

Unfortunately Marcel, most do not care. It is sad and really shows the mediocrity of their actions.

To be mediocre, is the worst possible adjective in life.

A little faith was starting to be restored and 263 looked very promising with a brilliant article by Alan Boe on the Peron 212 Inter.
Sadly, the text has obviously been edited by a robot and not proof read by a human again as Peron is constantly, one would assume by some form of auto correct, typed as Pern.

For me that is not restoring a little faith, that is destroying the last faith I had

 

That was my sentiment; I felt that there had been some improvement with some better quality articles in recent issues; the odd typo still occurs which is very frustrating when it is the numbers that are so relevant in the text, but this is a schoolboy error and questions what editorial systems, if any, are in place.

They simply don't care. Really not.
They or their robot also cut out stuff that should absolutely be in the article. Important stuff that I know WAS in the article, because author Alan Boe and I corresponded heavily/intensely for this particular story.

But hey, seven full color pages about collector Bob Lee's widow with 7 color pix of this wonderful woman, but not a single photo of any of the 30 classic Ferraris in the Lee Collection.

Apparenly my recent decision to allow my subscription to lapse was the correct one. Too bad, it was a great publication for a long time. John Barnes did far more for the Ferrari marque and legacy than most know or appreciate.

 

Not only, Perón carries an accent on the 'o'.

This, from a mag. that is supposed to be a 'top' quality..... ?

Had she lived now, Evita would have way more than 7 color photos in the article on her husbands 212 Inter.

Lifestyle larger than life.

 

I fully agree with you, lifestyle larger than life, while wearing her mink coat, and addressing her adoring, "descamisados" (shirtless) populace,
but her husband and her, single handedly (double) destroyed Argentina to the sad state it has continued to be with the Peronistas.

He was her weak puppet.....with a Ferrari . Hopefully, and very slowly, things may improve some.

The truth behind the myth is often inconvenient, it is easier to remember her as the "Evita" of the musical.

 

Just in.

Thanks, Marcel. Can it be posted differently? The download keeps trying to redirect me to an App Store.

 

If you know you know.

I detest the use of the word "project" in this context. What might this project be?

 

I guess Enzo doesn't like his fathers name.

Unless........... you dont suppose he is using his mothers name for some level of business advantage ?

 

Security reasons, I assume.

Probably to make it clear that he's not the original Enzo Ferrari, that he is Enzo Mattioli Ferrari. The alive Enzo Ferrari. Only Mattioli I can think of involved in cars is/was the owner of Pocono Raceway. So I'm pretty sure it's not to show he's related to them.

Similar to why when they catch a serial killer they use their full name in the press release. JOHN WAYNE GACEY, for instance. So that folks living next door to John Paul Gacey don't think their neighbor is a serial killer. Makes it 100% clear who you're dealing with.

His father is the principal at several of the So Cal dealers, is a partner at Ferrari Silicon Valley and held an executive position at the factory.. Quite well known in the Ferrari world
