    Well I picked up my '89 Mondial-t coupe from FOD in mid June and here we are 3 months later and I have put nearly 3,000 mi. on her. WHAT A RIDE! It's everything I thought it would be. Great handling, powerful, comfortable, and boy does she turn heads. I had to replace a cat ECU, a fuel regulator, and an ignition coil but that's it.
    I just finished the last of this 3 thousand mile jaunt with a bunch of buddies (all in sports cars) cruising the gorgeous Colorado high country for 3 days. I feel sorry for you guys (and gals) who do not get to drive your Fcars very much because boy are you missing it! About ready for some new tires and then off we go for the next 3 thousand. Stay tuned.

    Steve, you sure are doing what Ferrari requires us to do and what it needs,
    is to drive the damn car. Good job.

    I was wondering if you were driving that car. I haven't seen it around but I trust you have been putting on the miles.

    I'm curious, have you taken it to any of the local resturants and parked it or valet it?

    F,

    Yes, I have been driving it, mostly in the mountains and side roads to Boulder, the Springs and such. I haven't driven it to any restaurants because I'm a little paranoid about parking it or letting someone else park it and my wife is pretty self conscious about being seen in it. Women, go figure.
