    Months and months ago, Eugenio called to ask about the availability of an SD3 diagnostic computer. These machines are outrageously expensive, but Eugenio knew that as F430's, 575M, 599's, Scuds, and 612's roll through his facility, he'll need the proper tools for service. Anyway, I told him if the prices ever drop to level we could both stomach, I'd ring him immediately.

    Fast forward to 30 days ago. As the US dollar gained unexpected strength against the Euro, my currency adviser at Tempus Consulting (http://www.tempusconsulting.com/) suggested I had a window of opportunity for any big Euro or GBP transactions I might have been considering. Well, in the same 48 hour span, my buddy with the F1 pit crew jacket (posted earlier) called to ask if I needed a few SD3's. I said "Yes! I'll take 3". Gulp

    I quickly called "E" and asked him if he was still in the game for an SD3, because we had a narrow window of opportunity. As a shop owner who knows where the service game is headed, he naturally opted-in. Without an SD3, he'd never be able to totally and completely service F430's, 575M, 599's, Scuds, and 612's. With an SD3, he's in the catbird seat. Customers would have complete confidence in his diagnostic tools. Heck, he would have the same tool as the dealers -- with the latest and most recent software too! (Why not buy an ST05 or some other 'cheap' diagnostic computer? Ask "E" about the differences, and the value-proposition of using a real SD3.)

    Last Friday I had the machine in my hands in North Carolina for a quick QC review, and this morning FedEx brought Eugenio his amazing stocking stuffer!

    What else can I say? This is the future of independent tech service... and "E" is perfectly situated to serve Southern California from the OC all the way to Valley.

    p.s. That metal thing on top of the Ricambi shipping box is also a supposedly 'unobtainable' and unlisted 360 frame piece. Hah!

    P.S. That is my 'unobtainable' and unlisted 360 frame piece that Eugenio replaced & color matched to the rest of the frame, after Beverly Hills Ferrari service dept. removed and never put it back when my car was there for service....dumbassssses

    No, they are all pre-sold. The next one arrives in about 2 weeks.
