    I was so glad the weathermen were wrong (sorry Vinny, but are they ever right???)
    and the snow/sleet/rain didn't materialize for us this weekend.
    What was left was an absoutely perfect driving weekend.
    I racked-up about 400 miles just cruising around with errands & such.

    Lots of friendly beeps & thumbs-up while driving.

    I was with a friend at a light when she wondered why two pedestrians were staring at us....
    then she said "Oh, it's not us. I forgot we were in the Ferrari" :)

    Anybody else get out?

    (BTW: My speedo came back from Palo Alto supposedly calibrated to the top end. Checking it against the Garmin Nuvi 660, there were *lots* of descrepencies of +/- 8mph both ways. Generally not consistently off. So now I'm wondering if the GPS is that inaccurate or the speedo or speedo sending unit is that off?)

    Was lucky to get mine out Saturday. Had a blast although it was only 15 miles or so.

    Got about 50 miles in Bergen & Passaic counties. My 8y/o daughter even convinced me to put the top down for about half the trip. Beautiful weather, maybe 15 degrees warmer and it would have been perfect.

    She FORGOT she was in a Ferrari?!

    Geez, Clyde -- I know you are a charming guy but to make a girl completely forget she's in a Ferrari -- You have to teach us that trick :D

    (And yep I took the Porsche out for a bit. Just had a new short shifter installed so I was having some extra fun.)

    Yeo just finished a belt change and carb tune up. Had it out today to clear out it's throat's . Short lived because I need to do a caliper rebuild and then the Sanden AC conversion. All this and play golf a few times a week. Going to be a fun year.

    The Mondi is out at least once a week, usually twice. Approx. 100 miles a week.
