    with some old (er) Ferrari Club members that I hadn't seen for years and years. Those on here that may know these names may realise why I am only starting to feel ok today! Peter White (1neon), Simon Hardwidge, Victor Tarchi and Nigel Parkinson. What a day and I'm still laughing at some of the jokes! Simon has had a few Ferrari's (365BB, Mondial T cab, Mondial cab and a Dino 246GTS...which he still has and is now yellow. It was a Queensland car until he bought it and I remember the owner rang me (1986?) and asked me if I wanted to buy it ($45,000) and I said no because I was sitting at a salesmans desk signing up for a Porsche :( )

    Sounds like you had fun horse. :) While we are the topic of the 246 Dino. What colour was it originally? The old guy here who owns a few cars( 1981 Porsche 911,1999 Bmw Z3,2000 Merc Kompressor(white),2001 Merc Kompressor(red),1986 Merc sedan?)......told me that in 1986, he had a choice to buy a red Dino 246GTS for $45K or a white Porsche 911 for $36K. He went with the porker. I wonder if thats the same Dino? Was it originally red? :) He could have bought 2 houses here in 1986 for $45K he said.

    Wondered why when I called the next morning I didn't get a reply, guessed you were still asleep.

    Little funny to start your birthday with a hangover, it normally follows.

    Was a great lunch and great to catch up, sorry I had to leave, what sort of trouble did you get up to after I left?
