    After 100 or so days of no Ferrari driving, not even a 3 pedal car to drive, we had a nice day Tuesday and I got the 328 out. As usual, it started up and ran flawlessly. A great lift to the spirits. We have a pool going on when the largest pile of snow will be melted. Anyone can chime in. 14,196 Mt Princeton is in the backround.

    Dave,
    Awesome picts!

    I know how you must feel- I snuck mine out a couple weeks ago for the first time this season.

    You do have quite a bit more snow up your way (just drove the "back" way to Leady on way to Vail) vs me in this part of CO. 3 winters so far & still have not picked up a snow shovel :)

    I have a snowblower that hadn't been used in several years. On a hunch, I went through it in Oct. to make sure it was ready. Turned out to be a great move. We normally have dry, sunny winters here with most snow falling in Nov & Apr. Dec-Feb average is just 13 inches. This year we had about 5 feet during the period (nothing compared to Phil's 25 feet) but it's been so cold, none melted and winds just kept drifting it back in near my house. The Ferraris sat for the longest by far this winter in my 12 years of ownership.

    I was going to take the 360 out for a spin today but went skiing instead. ;)

    Dave,
    Glad to see that you're getting that old beater out every now and again. Let me know when that snow melts and I'll come up there for some training.
