    When you consider I bought the car with 10K, 10 years after it's birth ( I am it's 3rd owner of who owner # 1 placed 7.5 K and owner # 2 added 1.5 K ), the idea of having doubled her mileage after just one year of ownership hit me today as the Odo passed the 4 0s....
    No problems, no issue,s just pure driving pleasure.
    Just wanted to share with my fellow Ferraristi :D

    They certainly do. I took my car through the emissions inspection yesterday as part of getting my plates renewed. Passed with flying colors. 44,000 miles.

    Taz, maybe you can recommend an orthodontist to Alex to fix that loose tooth on his 575.

    David- Does look like he has lost a bicuspid there.

    I have seen a few license plate holders that allow the plate to be centered and fitted down low, but Alex' looks like it gets removed quite frequently, so probably not a problem. In the winter, blocking part of the radiatior intake is probably not a bad idea, like the radiator shutters of old and racer's tape today.

    Yes sir! I collected those and some soil samples as well on 13 separate trips of 5.2 miles each.

    Terry,

    When the car was back in the U.S., I did not bother to put on the front license plate, but after I export the car to Taiwan in 2006, the local traffic law requires front license plate to be installed at all time, I could not find a better place to put it. Does anybody knows if Ferrari actually made a bracket for front license plate on Maranellos?

    Thanks

    Alex
