    Better pic from ECW.

    I remember that's where I met Jonathan. When they opened they had a black/grey Boxer for something like $60k. I wish every day I would've bought it.

    She certainly did, I have seen the Challenge Car at Moorespeed.

    She moved on from the BBi, which had been modded for 5 stud wheels.

    Dana gave me my very first ride in a Ferrari. She has since sold both cars.

    I remember when Wes brought the F40 to the Texas FCA meet in Dallas. His tow truck may have been cooler than the Ferrari.

    I remember seeing the same F40 when it belonged to its previous owner, at the USGP in Indianapolis.

    Yeah, good times. That was the first FCA regional meet I ever went to. Give me some time and I'll dig up the hard drive with those pics.

    I talked to the guy who brought my old car. He gave me first dibs, but I dunno. Just like Lorena the Whore in Lonesome Dove, I believe it is bad luck to go backward.

    And, yes, that was Dana. I used to see her with her Boxer at TWS. You gotta love it.

    was favorite picture of my 328 until The Clubhouse. The two best things in the World about the same size only an inch apart, one was the Ferrari hood emblem. :D

    I'm afraid Rob would violate his own TOS if he posted them. I share Robs perspective. You think it was a whole inch Rob? ;)

    You've got to love a good Countach story. This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my son! Thanks for the 157 MPH trip down memory lane. Good Times.

    Not sure I've ever seen that, thanks Jason!

    Offended? I've called you worse. Recently. :p

    That's the picture! You need to post your version of the event, I'm a little fuzzy on your cop conversation other than the 'you were clocked at 157'.

    Here's the version I always tell people! ;)

    Richard pulled into our mid-rally meeting spot in a park. 10 minutes later a cop drives through and stops at the Countach. The cop ask Richard if he was driver of the car, "yes". The cop says callers reported his car passing in no passing zones, "no, we didn't". The cop says callers reported there was passing on the shoulder, "no, we didn't". Cop then says when you came over the hill I clocked you at 157 MPH, "yes, we were going at least that." :D

    I don't think Richard even got a warning, much more a ticket. :)
