    Contrary to popular belief, Martin Weiner MD (a retired Proctologist) is still amoung the living. The poor thing does not have the strength to operate a manual shift car anymore so he had to settle for the automatic (he calls it F1!!).

    We had a nice lunch in Montecito (Marty tends to get lost if he goes more than a few yards from his home). After lunch he begged me to give hime pointers on how to drive his new 575 automatic. I did my best but I'm afraid his attention span is not what it once was :(.

    Anyway I thought you LA guys might want to plan a drive up through Santa Barbara like we did last year for Marty. Unfortunatly he probably will not remember any of you but it will make you feel good anyway (I'll try to tell him it's his turn to buy us all lunch!

    What to you guys think?

    Bob

    The real lunch story is as follows:
    Callahan is just pissed off at me for the following reasons
    1) I insisted he pay for lunch (for the first time in the 10 yrs I know him)
    since I am on a meager fixed social security income.
    2)I called his p.o.s. 355 an "unreal" Ferrari and suggested he add 4 more cylinders to his vehicle.
    3) when driving my "real" Ferrari in 2nd gear he downshifted into 1st gear by mistake at 70 mph on TWO occasions and I screamed "hope you flew your planes better than you drive!"
    4) after much cross examination I found out he does not and never has owned a 512BBi.
    All that being said, I enjoyed the 16 hours we spent together listening to the story of his life.Luckily I was wearing dark sun glasses so Bob didn't know I was asleep.

    I just got off the phone with Marty's wife Faye. She was very upset that Marty had wandered away again. She told me she thought he was "wandering around on the beach" somewere in the rain.

    If anybody comes across a man dressed in an old Ferrari shirt (he refuses to have it cleaned) that is wearing Roy Rodgers pajama bottoms please contact the local authorities. I'm worried!

    Anyway, even if he fails to show up, we should still plan on a drive up through Santa Barbara within the next few weeks. Art Chambers (Marty's court appointed guardian) plans to also meet with us and come up with a plan for Marty that will maintain what little dignity he has left.

    Please guys, help us out :)

    You guys couldn't wait until I get down there on the 5th of next month, could you. Marty got Bob to pay, but I'm sure the two of them will try to stick me the next time, like they did last year.

    If I can figure out how, I'll bring the 355 (I refuse to drive it all that way, but the Van, almost complete except paint, should be more than able to tow it down.

    Matt, I was going to let this go but it's just so funny that I couldn't resist... sorry.:) The registration you posted doesn't belong to a vehicle with VIN ending in "40141." You see the last three digits along the bottom (right after the license number you scratched out)? Well, those are the last three digits of the actual VIN.
