    All things in their time, but IYKYK. The significance of this local F40 is HUGE. Well... To me at least.

    Got a lot of time driving and caring for her during my time there. Most memorable were the shakedowns after a (RC Pre-Competizione) rebuild. He was tired of contorting in and out of the thing and let/helped me learn about what a F40 can do.

    At one point we serviced 4 of them and for a short time I was the trusted driver and QC guy before return. One of my Glory Days stories I'll never stop telling.

    Godspeed, thank you for trusting me, and Eyes Up.

    I had the pleasure of riding in this one, driven in anger, at Summit Point ~20 years ago. It was the pinnacle of all my automotive experiences.

    Yeh, a real local legend of many years passing along to a new home. My favorite memory of that car was back on 2007 when I participated in the Ferrari 60th Anniversary Global Relay. Allie in the F40 led the procession drive from Ferrari of Washington down to the formal reception at the Italian Embassy in DC. A sight to behold and remember was watching Allie'e wife climbing out of the car with elegant awkwardness at the Embassy in her evening dress.
