    what is a 124?
    Old guys don't know it all, even though they know a lot.

    I'm 68 have had a GT4 for 6 yrs now. It's not a daily driver but it does get some exercise every week. I love the fun this car provides. I am going to take it up to North Carolina next yr. to drive it in the hills. I would like to own two other fcars before I'm too old, so
    I'm starting to look for a 550 and/or a 250.

    Although, I'm not sure it is a 124 - the middle part of the dashboard doesn't look quite the same. I couldn't say what it is though... no idea.

    It'll be interesting to find out when Malcolm gets back to us. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I'm 67 and love to drive my Ferrari's nearly daily weather permitting. My 1st exposure was back in 1965 when I purchased a factory 1959 Testa Rosa race (Tr0768) car and have been hooked ever since. My current rides are a 308gtsi which we recently did a complete restoration, an original 400i cabriolet, and my newest addtion, a 348 fly yellow spider. I enjoy the different feel driving each car. The 348 is a mans driver, the 400 is a luxury ride, the 308 is a head turner.

    I have enjoyed the pleasure of driving different Ferrari's for nearly 50 years, some I owned and some were friends. I have never driven a Ferrari that I did not truly enjoy. I agree with the chatter "not driving your Ferrari is like not making love to your girl friend, why save it for the next guy".

    Guus Bierman is a famous collector in Holland, aged 73 now I believe, and he was on the Zandvoort track last year with his new 599GTO as well as his Daytona Competizione. He still has many fantastic Ferraris and drives them a LOT. Particularly his 365BB seems to be on the road quite often. An inspiration, this man.

    Will be 65 next year and drive my 308 anytime I can. I have told my kids that when I get old and can not push the clutch in, it is time for me to go. They understand. Owning a F-car is the best hobby a man can have, much better than collecting say stamps.

    I'm 65 and the 360 goes at least once a week,usually twice. This week has been sorta weathering so not this week,but that's unusual.

    If that's a single day's itinerary for you, where do you find the time to buy all the necessary Pfizer products? :D
