    That's my local newspaper, quite an article and also quite a car! He spent half what I paid for mine maintaining it! I did see that car at a petrol station once, it did look brand spanking new.

    "The F355 is one of Ferrari's most important road cars and one of my favourite Ferraris," Montezemolo told me last week when he was in town to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ferrari's relationship with distributor Auto Italia. "My own 355 was also a Spider and it was blue with tan, just like yours. It was my go-kart," he said.

    Good enough for Luca, good enough for me.

    Going for a group ride tomorrow here in NJ. Foliage at it's peak.

    Yes, the top will be down for sure. Exhaust sounds and wind creating that priceless cacophony that you can only experience in a spider.

    I love NJ this time of year up in the NE part of the State is beautiful. We used to do the Fall Foliage Run on our bikes just needed to watch out for the wet leaves

    FCA run Tim. Dennis Hedlund scouts out the road. Starting in Mt Olive and going to High Point with lunch and at Swartswood Lake. Weather looks seasonal and acceptable. They usually get around 30 f cars for these rides. Should be great.

    Great article written by Kevin. He is an FCHAT member, but I haven't seen a post from him in quite a while.

    Hey, are you still out there Kevin?

    Nothing like a spider!! At High Point, NJ

    Highest point in NJ. A whopping 1800 ft above sea level.

    About 25 f cars for a three hour ride on some great roads a few other spiders but I was the only one with the top down. Windows up and heat on it was perfect. Had it down the whole way up there from the shore.

    Great fun
