    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.
