    I have not mounted winter tires, since this amount of snow is very unusual here. But driving the 75 is somewhat interesting. It's hard not to make the rear end step out in turns, lots of fun!

    At mostly 50 - 70 degrees all winter it always a perfect day for driving in south GA. Ah, my Miata.

    Ha - not far wrong - when I lived in Portland I ran my old 535i with studded snows on all four corners in the winter. Sounded like a half-track panzerwagen...some righteous grip in the ice storms though!!

    Cheers

    nice to see those pictures. Is the car melting yet? I hear they melt when they see rain or hell even snow. You could always sell it as : "never seen rain" :)

    Stay safe.

    Mr Napolis (AKA???)

    You should truly be commended for using your Ferraris, both the road cars and the comp cars. If I had them, you can bet that I would have them at every possible track event.

    When I lived in upstate NY and was very active in the FCA back in the 70s & 80s, I would run my GTC at Mosport, Watkins and Limerock or any other event I could attend and then drive it to work the following week!
    My girlfriend did the same with her 308 GT/4.

    A close friend of mine owned GTO # 4713 at the same time and on numerous occasions we would take it out and do some high-speed touring on back roads. Great memories.

    Believe it or not, some people actualy criticized me for driving my car daily - should be kept in a garage and only driven on very special occasions, they said.
