    Well, it's arrived!!!!! I picked up my 330 GT at IFS yesterday and the thrill is back!! If you are passing through RI and see a red blurrrr.......guess who? This is the fulfillment of a 40 year dream. Boy what a great ride it is. The sights, the smells, the sounds, the handling (interesting around corners), the smiles. (I guess that now would be a good time to take those driving courses at Lime Rock!!) But I digress....this posting is a general "Thank You" to Road & Track for igniting the flame in the 60's, and to the Ferrari Community as a whole for keeping the old cars alive and being very enthusiastic, caring and helpful during my search for the right car. Thank you.

    Very very nice car. I've admired it several times at IFS. I understand that you now have some extra legroom on the drivers side that you didn't have before. :)

    Kenny K.-

    I am 6"3" and JT @ IFS put extensions on the seat for me. Interestingly, a previous owner had welded the seat to the frame, so it took quite a bit of time to free the weld, make the extensions, and bolt the whole thing back on the car properly. Kudos to John for a great job.

    Jason W.-

    I am around. I will PM with number.

    Sorry to say car is out of commission temporarily with coolant problems and will only be on the road for a Thanksgiving gathering and thence to bed for the winter. Maybe next year. Thanks for the interest.
