    I believe that: "there is no such thing as a normal Ferrari owner. We're ALL nuts to some degree, for owning these cars."

    Ok maybe I'm a little bit bored but being that this seems to be the premier Ferrari Fantacy Thread, I thought this would be the place to post this.
    I'm sitting here in my condo in Kona. My neighbor is thinking about selling me his garage. This would give me a two car garage on the Big Island. So I'm thinking about shipping my 308 here just for kicks. I can imagine ordering vanity plates that say HI-5O. Even funnier would be Montana plates. I can just see myself taking a careful yet spirited drive up to Havi for ice tea at the Bamboo.
    So is this a good idea, or should I save my money, and just ship my car to the factory for a full restoration?

    Im thinking of sending my Stradavarius back to Cremona to have Antonio rebuild it. I heard he did really good work. He claimed to have the formula for the finish that was on it originally, so no trouble at all to duplicate it.

    Are those the cups with that you have a poker hand with the fifth card on the bottom? If so, have them deliver you back a Royal Flush....Never seen one:D
