    Initially, I wanted to name my Daughter Isabella. However, in coup de etat worthy of the history channel my wife announced our daughter's name to me seconds after delivering her. Given the circumstances, I offered little defense. As a result, my daughter is named Mary Kathleen (Irish enough for you) and my car is named Isabella.

    Congrats - and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been eyeballing your car for a while now while it was for sale. I'm glad it went to someone like yourself who will enjoy it with the family!!! As a fellow 3.2 cab owner, please feel free to pm me anytime about anything - and welcome!!!!

    Congratulations Joe,

    Beautiful ride. Your comments about family reluctance becoming acceptance is spot on---I remember it well, as do many others on ferrarichat.com, I am sure. When I had my 308 (a great car) I never felt like I had the "family support," but the Mondial t is a totally different story. Now, instead of just me looking for every excuse to drive the 308, my two youngest look for as many, if not more, excuses as I do to take the Mondial for a ride.

    Enjoy in the best of health!

    Congrats on the new car! It is beautiful,for sure. I know your excitement since I just became an owner again and I can say, it feels exactly the same as the first time. The excitement NEVER goes away no matter which model you choose. Drive the heck out of it and have fun. By the way, I'm also from the Philly area but now live in southern California. Watch out for the salt on the roads from the winter!

    I finally got to see Joe's Mondial today. He stopped by the shop to replace the metric wheels/tires with 348 wheels/tires. What a gorgeous car! You did well, my friend. :)

    Thanks!
    Coming from someone with as much 328 experience as you, I appreciate it.

    BTW, Thanks again for squeezing me in on such short notice. The wheels look great.

    If you find yourself with some extra time, give me a call.

    I am ALWAYS up for a drive.

    I am so happy, and my family is the same way. I am giving up racing for a while for the betterment of my family, but having a Ferrari is going to make the pain go away in a hurry! I haven't had the opportunity to get my wife in mine, but as soon as all of her friends tell her they want a ride in mine, I am sure she will breakdown and ride with me when I get it back to VA. Love the comment on the ear to ear smile and how they finally "got it".

    Best wishes for many fun miles, and the black and tan looks great!
