    It doesn't seem true but 119 years have passed by the birth of Enzo Ferrari. A memory in the day of his birth. A great Man.

    I used to send a birthday card to him. He always sent a thank you note.

    Yes, Edward, you are right. My aunt was also born in 1898 and since the 60's every year she sent her greetings to him, receiving a thank you note every time.

    Well, he took all of my calls starting in 1972, and still takes them now, when he's available. Now it is even easier because my international dialing package on my cellphone costs me only $5.00 extra per month for unlimited calls.

    When I was a guy I had already an unlimited passion for races. So when John Surtees won in Germany with his 158 F1 I wrote to Ferrari. Look at the date.

    In 1980 I wrote to Ferrari for the bad words that Jody Scheckter used for the car in Argentina. He had won the World Championship just 4 months before, but he was ready to offend the work of all the racing division.
    Enzo Ferrari sent to me one of the 1000 copies of Ferrari 80.
    A wonderful spontaneous gift.

    May be I missed something : @dinogts, can you explain better to us who takes your calls now and the matter of the telephone?
