Please don't keep us in suspense... what was in the box??
I swear I don't even remember now! Nothing in particular by the time it made its way to me. I have been trying to remember what he told me it was originally contained since I posted that. As I said before I didn't pay it much attention back then but as the years passed, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.
I was thinking the same thing. So you are saying he gave you an EMPTY cardboard box with horsies on it. I missed that part too.
No horses. Just a simple brown cardboard box with Ferrari printed on the side. He had it in the trunk. Seemed like he kept touch up paint and a bottle of oil in a zip lock bag in it. Whatever was originally in there before was long gone. His point was it wasn't a big deal but people love having that sort of thing. Much like preserving a blue sticker on a wheel. Like I said, over the past twenty years I have realized he wasn't joking.
Apparently those empty boxes have value as well. $25 for the lot (not mine). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferrari-parts-boxes-for-model-display-308-348-355-430-458-Testarossa-/351644356639?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 . Image Unavailable, Please Login
maybe the same gay as the one of this ad. ( nb on this very site under ferrari parts and collectables!) http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferrari-parts-collectibles/506702-super-rare-momo-ferrari-polk-audio-speakers.html I guess, putting your momo speaker on a ferraribox does add value. What a joke!!
After spending several weeks trawling the artisan shops in the Modena area, I have managed to secure a source of blue self adhesive dots. The basic dot shapes have been individually hand crafted, from specially sourced Ferrari A4 paper, by Ferrari Trained Dot Cutters. Using scissors. The adhesive on the back of each dot is really special glue, I mean really, really special - it costs loads. Not any old glue, honestly. The glue is applied in a hermetically sealed area that has been constructed within Enzo Ferrari's actual office - by a glue robot. A lucrative contract has enticed Luca Cordero di Montezemolo to come out of retirement and he now QA's each individual dot. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each dot, with a signature that bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone vaguely connected to Ferrari. Pricing: If you have to ask, you can't afford them.
I agree with the clock tag but it is the market of others, not me. As for the tool and jack kit I have used mine more than once but I drive the cars and as far from home as I have time for. The tools and jack have save me from four hundred mile tows twice. The blue dot is evidence of a very small handful of people (here) losing sight of reality. There are signs of untouched originality of which I am probably more familiar than anyone in the conversation and then there are signs of lack of understanding of that.
