    The PPI at Norwood went well yesterday, so I purchased the Mondial t.

    I am very excited. What a great car.

    More thoughts and reflections to come as I get to know the car.

    I look forward to becoming active in this community and the DFW gang. Thanks to everyone for your advice and encouragement in my other posts. (Especially Tom and James)

    Having lived in DFW (back in my Fiat days), I know that you got this car just in time for the best top-down-motoring weather Texas offers.

    You bought from RUF? And had to deal with JONATHAN? OH NO!

    No, it has the standard clutch. Actually the clutch was just updated to the 355 clutch/flywheel.

    Thanks for all of the compliments. Today is a fabulous top-down day - darn this work thing.

    Yep, HAD to deal with Jonathan. (JK, hello Jonathan - and thanks!!)

    This is the second car I bought from RUF this year. I hope this one turns out as well as my 911 - absolutely perfect car.

    Jim, hope to meet you Saturday at Starbucks.

    Very nice! Of course the Mondial t is one of the best Ferraris ever - not that I'm biased :)

    Anyway.... where's Hank?

    I'm right here, Dave :)

    Hey Patrick,

    Congrats guy ! You have purchased one of the most amazing Ferraris on the planet. There are so many superb Ferrari models out there but none of them can can do the many things that your new stallion can do. Trust me on that one. She can act like a coupe on a cold day, be a convertible on a warm one - - why ****, she can even think she's a pickup when you need to "load her up". Not to mention, she even looks "as new" !!

    Drive in the best of health.

    Cheers, Hank

    That would be great if someone invented a nice, lightweight, easy-to-install temporary cover you could put on without putting the top up...
