    Well I finally brought my 308GT4 home tonight. After buying it in October last year, NJB rebuilt the engine for me and tonight I got to bring it home. My first time driving a Ferrari and it is my own. Yahoo!

    Thanks Jack and Craig for all of your work in putting all of the pieces back together.

    Photos to come when the sun comes out.

    mike,
    congrats on the new car! Feels great, doesn't it? Jack and Craig are top notch for sure - They had my 355 for 4 weeks and did tons of work to it and I couldnt be happier!
    You will have to join us for our drive outs in Cincinnati that Rich Wallace organizes! Tons of fun!

    Drove mine twice today - once this morning when it was warm and sunny...then tucked her away, as rain is in the forecast for nearly the whole weekend. Then, this afternoon - complete with dark clouds overhead - I tempted the rain gods by backing her out of the garage yet again! Just went for a short little jaunt - couldn't resist. It was like the car was calling to me from the garage! The newness might wear off someday, but the joy you get when you sit behind the wheel never does!

    Get that bad boy out and shoot some pics, mang!

    Took some pics just haven't got them off the camera yet.

    I took it to work the other day. First Ferrari to be there. Caused a bit a of a stir. I could over here people talking about it. I had a picture of a different one as my background and I somebody did come up and ask if it is mine. I wasn't sure if I should be embarrased or proud.

    I need tp get my pics resized too, apparently they don't like the 5mp pics that I have.

    Sorry for the delay.

    Mike
