    If only The Man could have made it this far... Happy birthday to our favorite Constructor!

    On a side note, when I was younger, I was very disappointed when I found out that I was born a day late, from sharing Michael Jordan's birthday. I no longer regret it at all, as I later learned that I share Enzo's instead. :)

    I believe that he was born in 1898.

    If I am correct, today he would be 113 years old.

    FYI: In 1988 I sent Enzo a birthday card to Modena, Italy and 5 months later I received a thank you card from him, thanking me for remembering him on his birthday. Can you imagine that? I still have the thank you and envelope encased in a picture frame and displayed in my showcast at home.

    from Wikipedia:

    Enzo Anselmo Ferrari (February 18, 1898[1] – August 14, 1988) Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI[2] was an Italian race car driver and entrepreneur, the founder of the Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team, and subsequently of the Ferrari car manufacturer. He was often referred to as "il Commendatore"

    You are correct - he'd be 113 today. That's what I get for trying to do the math ten minutes after I woke up. Plus, I'm old now. :p

    (Someone please fix my title?)

    Happy birthday to you!

    And did you really have to go there, with Yoko? You couldn't have waited until tomorrow to mention that?! :D
