I caught it. Purely by luck too. My wife was trying to turn off the closed caption and turned off the cable box. When the cable box was turned back on it is set to come on to CNBC, Wah-la it was 7 o'clock on the dot and there was ENZO!!! ot.ot.ot.

it was a great show to watch.
as a footnote I personally met Enzo's personal secretary for 30+ years. I met her twice and both times at an intimate BBQ so I really had a chance to speak to her and ask many questions about Enzo and the drivers of their racing team. her name is Brenda Verner. what a lady! the second time we met she baked a "special" cake that she ONLY baked for Enzo. it was delicious. of course we asked her for the recipe but she would not give it to us. she baked the cake in privacy at the home we very visiting and would not hint as to the ingredients. I remember that she made the icing with crushed hazelnuts.
it was a great experience just to meet her. at the risk of sounding corny, it was like speaking to a piece of history.

Ms. Verner is quite a lady; she and my father have been friends for many years. Did you know that she was Michael Parkes' fiancee when he died? Parkes was a Ferrari team driver and engineer. I have to confess, I don't know when she retired from the factory.

Piero is very much alive - here he is w/ my father and our Mondial at Pebble 2008.

What an awesome photo for your father to have. I love the color for the Mondial.
