    I am the proud caretaker of a 348 Challenge car which most of you will remember when it was for sale on the Chat a few years ago.

    As it left my house. . . great to see it found a great new home. It is still the best 348 on the streets. . . . enjoy it in good health.

    That would be Neil Heffron, MA # 64 for Gaston Andre Ferrari in the 1996 Ferrari challenge series.

    Alberto, I remember driving to your house to test drive that car! After Jerome bought that one, I ended up buying Mark Alexander's car, number 24, 18 months later and set it up inside identically to how yours was set up: Roll bar, Challenge seats, Harnesses, all carpets and other street stuff.

    Although I didn't buy the car from Alberto I feel I received it as if it just left his hands. He has been an excellent caretaker for this car maintaining all the items that came with it including all service records and race history. On top of that he has been kind and helpful in answering all my questions over the last week.

    Thank you Alberto!

    My ideal street/track setup, as long as it has A/C. Very nice. :)
