The Mayor is MIA

Me too! I like to keep my cars.

 

Yeah.... I have long drawn out affairs with my cars....

 

It's not speculation if you give them back the dealers, which I believe the mayor did. There's no money to be made.

 

+3. I have my cars for years. I have had my FGT since 05 and another car since 93. If I like a car I like to get to know it....

 

+1. much enjoyed his perspective over the years

 

Thank you DM. Ironically, I'll be in Hong Kong on Wednesday night.

I'm fine. I've been traveling a lot in Europe and Asia this year on business and pleasure.

After giving back the 458 Spider I didn't see much reason to post anymore. But I will sometime again in the future. I do check in every once and a while to see what's going on. But I have new priorities today.

Six years ago on Wednesday, I walked into a hospital in LA after feeling rather poorly at the Beijing Olympics. I had one of those tests where they stick a camera up your crotch to take a peak inside your heart. While lying on the table and seeing this patchwork of black blood vessels on a monitor, the doctor told me if I left the hospital now I'd be dead in a week. I think you know what I did.

So, if I have a message for everyone, it's live everyday. Its great to plan for tomorrow but never forget how precious today is.

Instead of leaving you again with a picture of an Italian car, here's a picture I took of the GF at Lake Como with the real Bellagio in the background.

It's a reminder --somethings are just more important than Ferrari's.

Thanks again to everyone for their kind words.

Obviously, I don't know you from Adam personally, but if you are with her, the old ticker is working just fine. As many on this board like to say "enjoy in good health". Sounds like you have your priorities in line but hopefully we will see you back here with a new Cali T sometime in the near future.

 

Great to hear from you.Looks like you got your priorities right - Enjoy

 

Good to hear from you Bob. Looks like you're enjoying life. Be well and happy.

 

+1 enjoy…

 

The post shows why you were missed.

So right

 

God bless you and your GF. Thanks for the words of wisdom. Hope you continue to live life to the fullest!

 

Order in the Universe

 

I think you have a new girlfriend. If I am not mistaken the last picture you posted was of a blonde one. If you keep changing women, your health will be fine, it is when you get stuck with one that you will need another angiography and quad bypass.

In any case best wishes with your health and life. I hope you are taking your statins and aspirin diligently. Your posts and wisdom incorporated within were an inspiration when I was contemplating first time ferrari ownership and ordering my new car.

 

I'm new to ferrarichat- but even I enjoyed your post. It's really not the same without you. Truly I mean it! I wish you the best! Stay thirsty my friend-

 

+458 miss your posts and still hope to see you sooner than later, maybe at the FBH Christmas Party.

 

Well said, sir. Agree with you 100%.

 

Mayor, thank you for your words, I had a bought of Cancer scare about a year or or so ago. I went out and put a deposit on a Cali T. I feel and felt as you do and did, thats why i did it. We realize way too late how short life is, and how precious living should be. Thank you so very much for all you have posted, shaped the board and kept it real. Good Luck, God Bless and perhaps one day we will meet on the other side

 

Mayor:

I hope you deal successfully with any other health issues. And make sure that you enjoy the road between Como and Bellagio!

Best.

 

His insight was helpful and I enjoyed reading his posts.

Good luck wherever you are.

 

Great post Mr. Mayor. Thank you and enjoy the journey

 

Glad you are OK.

Life is good.

 

Nice to hear from you Bob.

HK is still not. Was there last week...
