    I went down to Buxton Motorsports today and I went into Mr.Buxtons office and was asking him if there were any cool cars in the back and he told me no but there was a Diablo getting detailed there just like 2 days ago(I cant believe I missed it!) And anyways I was looking at the pictures in his office and noticed a Picture of Roland standing in front of his LM and it was signed by him and I go "Hey you know Roland?" He goes "yup, actually in November he is doing some track day in St.Louis and then after that he is dropping his F40LM off here for a while until he goes back to Colorado". I damn near crapped my pants I was so excited! I can't wait until then!!! Hopefully I'll get to meet the legend himself as well! I want to hear some old race stories!

    Also I asked him if he ever gets on FerrariChat and he goes every once in awhile, but if your not on there everysingle day you hardly know whats going on. He said he spends most his time on Ferrari List.

    Im so excited. Cheers to Mr.Buxton for being such a stand up guy, And cheers to Roland for being so aweasome.

    Brians a cool guy. I used to spend a lot of time on Ferrarilist until F/C came along. He is right. He used to post all the time on F/L. I remember when he had the grand opening of the new store. He was really excited...........

    Rolands car is one you will not forget. Pictures, pictures...............

    Good for you, on being able to see the F40LM.

    But I beg to differ on the thought that if you aren't on FC everyday, "you hardly know whats going on." Truth of the matter, is you could be gone for a day, a week, or a month, and come back to the latest chatter without feeling like you've missed a beat at all. That's the beauty of this forum: same guys, same enthusiam and same passion for all things Ferrari.

    Congratulations! I can guarantee you it's a sight to see. I met Roland in New Orleans, Louisiana and his car was actually the first F40 I ever saw. He's a great guy and I am sure you'll enjoy it. The car is a work of art and he drives the wheels off of it.

    Rolands car is awesome. No wait, Roland is awesome. You have to spend some time with him and listen to the many stories he has lived through. Many don't realize how much Roland really knows and has done. Being with him is like a trip down memory lane!

    I hope to be able to stop by in CO next time I am around.

    Will be partying with Roland in New Orleans in November for sure though :)

    I don't generally invite myself to stuff like that. Is it an open track day at Gateway or something? Then I'd probably stop by, if only to hear an F40. :D

    Hello Gentlemen, I just got a DSL (whatever that means) and I was finaly able to catch with the many many post. I saw the one from Impala and read all the folowing post. Thanks to all of you for the kind words, I just wish that I could give rides to all at differents events. Don't be shy, and just ask me to get a ride.
    Thanks Martin, coming from you, I'm touch and I look to see you and Marion in New Orleans.
    The next step for me, is the Players Run in early June.
    take care

    The only thing cooler than Roland's F40 LM is Roland himself... Now that i'm at The Ferrari Market Letter, next time i see him, i'm gonna "have to" ask him for a ride - you know, for "business" purposes... :D


    ...i can't wait...! :)

    Hey Roland; I think your getting preoccupied with all this adoring press. If I were you I would concentrate on those piglets for the BBQ this summer. Remember; they're worthless after 22 days! Ciao for now.

    Hello Frank,
    Don't worry, the pigs will be perfect for your taste. Expect my visit this Saturday. I'll drive the LM to the school show down the road from Dave's and will stop to say hello and check on Rana's F40.
    See ya
