    Here are some more 80s pics from what I think was one of the Italian Happening shows in Michigan tho it might have been something else... Not sure exactly where or when this was though I guess with a 328 in the shot it's got be 88 or 89 or after...

    I'm not sure what i better...my white pants pulled up too high and white shoes.. or the blouse the judge is wearing in the second photo and her hair. Hehe. :) One of my brothers makes an appearance with the hat in the Ferrari Dino pic...

    Some nice 308,328, Testarossa, and a Daytona...

    Even more fun news as I've been sorting through videos I realized my Father had taken insurance documentation videos... basically proof of car and quality... so these are like area by area walking through the car for how it is. This included a shot of the door plate serial number. So now I know some S/N's.

    For example his last 1985 308QV appears to be S/n ending with 57185
    So s/n: ZFFUA13A9F0057185
    wonder if I can hunt that car down... lol

    I'm surprised more folks don't go the boxer route with mondials. It never got the stamp of approval from the guys behind the gate but it does wonders hiding those bumpers. Also, these days you can get a 'wrap' on the lower half of the car you can just peel off later if you want

    Ok all here is another VIDEO release!

    This one is from 1987 sometime in September or after. It's our 83 Lamborghini Countach 5000S being driven around the block by my mom. Most of the video is her trying to get the seat adjusted hehe. I do have some other better driving videos etc for the future.

    Anyhow enjoy...and apologies in advance for my annoying teenage spoiler nerdom hehehe.

    Link to video:

    Happy Friday!

    Shot of a Ferrari 512BB in a dealer in LA I think. I've got some video of this car in there as well with price info...will post another time. Then some more Italian Happening shots from 87 or 88 or so... Black Countach and Jalpa and maybe Espada... and then of course some Testarossas... and another black Lambo... with more people and cars in the background...

    enjoy!

    There was an exotic car dealer in northern Virginia back in the 70's/80's that I used to visit called Thorobred Motorcars. They had a small showroom crammed full of interesting cars. My favorites were always the Dinos, I recall they were then priced at around $20k. I am attaching some photos of the shop I found on the web. These are not my photographs, but show the place exactly as it appeared about 35-40 years ago.

    Happy Friday! Been a while since I have updated this thread... I've gotten busy with work and other things. That said here are a few more pictures. I also have another video near ready to go too...soon.

    Another shot of our neighbors Turbo 911. Then my dads Countach. A later shot of a white countach at the Italian Happening... and finally another shot of our friend Ferrari 512BB at the Cleveland Metroparks.
