    As I mentinned in the Portugal section, I was supposed to meet him in Lisbon for the first time last summer but got sidetracked. He was also going to show me a perfect green Dino he brokered to a fellow German fchatter. He was always willing to help, was a great tech of the brand and was a true car guy. That is why I asked Rob for him to be a consultant. Miguel was sooo happy.

    This is really a shock as I didnt know he was in that bad of shape. I now regret not meeting last summer.

    We've lost a good guy.

    Thanks for everything Miguel.

    … Mont …

    After all this passionate conversations and so many adventures with always the Italians in the middles,
    Hours and days trying to find the best, all the time pushing and fighting for your love… the Italians… always Sharing ideas, time and knowledge with everybody… Ferrari, Maserati, Ferrari, Maserati … it was in your blood… they say love is blind… maybe…
    I am so sorry to had let some details and so stupid issues divide friends that way... life is always too short for that… we never learn too well this lesson…
    You always say with a smile, they have no defects… only characteristics… for sure we all will remember this words…

    Goodbye and a last safe journey Miguel

    Miguel was a true love for Ferrari, Maserati and all the Italian brands, which was a specialist.
    Do not forget when one of these Sundays I listen to the Inno Mameli, a Ferrari victory, he will be with my thoughts.
    My condolences to the family of Miguel.

    When i bought my ferrari, the posts he wroten about it's features, were all religiously read by me...

    Perhaps one of very few persons with the most Ferrari & Maserati knowledge in all southwestern europe, and this is far from beeing optimistic..it was the reality, plain and simple.

    I'm still in kind of a "numb" mode, i can still not believe that this guy passed away so young..i truly identify myself with this person, and a part of my "red irreverence", so as Mont used to call it, died with him as well.

    Impossible not to admire and love his sentences:

    "...when it was launched, the 348 looked like an ugly duck! half testarossa, half absolutely nothing...but well poised and balanced" :) :)

    "...there are no faults within this car! a Ferrari has no faults..only characteristics..." ;) ;)

    what else to say about this friend and car fan?
    Rest In Peace *
    We'll miss you for all ages to come

    Rest in peace, my friend. That picture was a happy moment that we've lived together.
    It would have been your birthday yesterday...
