    Well, my owner decided to get me uncovered again yesterday and gave my body a really good polish. He was fettling and messing around at my rear end for some time but whatever he did felt good. I like a good tune up.

    I took him on a lovely 250 mile trip across the wonderful English countryside, sun gleaming on my polished body. I couldn't help but take a cursory glance in the shop window as we passed and I must say i looked.... damn good.

    Eventually we found the Ferrari Owners Club event at Sywell Aerodrome after he had stopped peeing around, I overheard him talking to his wife saying "No I'm not lost" but we got there eventually.

    The FOC steward guided me to the special display area where lots of other beautiful classic cars and more modern ones are parked. He met up with ISUK and chatted while I bathed in the sunshine and posing for pictures, these courtesy of Isuk's wife. One young lad asked him if he could sit on my seats which he kindly did, I think it made his day which was nice.

    On the way home he put some fresh high octane fuel in me and I could really show him, even at 50, what i was made of.

    Hope you like

    Mark,

    Maybe an odd question, since the time frame.

    Driving a modern car today is far different than a vintage car.

    Do you look at modern cars as better or older cars as better?

    I can see both angles, just curious to your perspective.

    I personally love modern for creature comforts, but love the stress/intrigue of vintage.

    Wait until electricity and charging is no longer an option, kind of the old Tortoise and Hare debate….

    Who would you bet on?

    Also, just saying, which battery do you think is easier and cheaper to replace…

    Nice!

    Why is the a PF badge on the driver's side? I thought they were only on the right side of the car.

    Good eye. Yes they are on the passenger side. when I got this car there was one on the left and I wasn't about to take it off and fill the holes and paint!

    So, in England, Australia, and Japan they are also on the passenger side, opposite of where they are on North American and European market cars?
