    Just wanted to post this up....my son was in Greenwich today and stopped by Miller Motors. He had become friendly with the manager (Werner) ever since he contacted Werner about him being a speaker at his schools italian club. Not only did Werner show up to give a great talk...he brought an F430 Spyder and was beyond gracious to my son and hs clubmates. Anyway, my son wa scheduled to do an unpaid internship there but things fell through, but he remained friendly with Werner....So to the story...lol
    While there he saw a new California outside and stopped by to say hello....while admiring the car w/ Mr. Werner the cars owner (Mr.L.) asks this "kid" would he like to go for a quick ride!!...Needless to say my son was thrilled and very appreciative.
    Just wanted to publically thank Werner & Mr. L , you both took the time to speak to a young man who is nuts for all things Ferrari/Alfa/AM....and give him a memory he will take with him for all his life.
    Many Thanks...enjoy the car!

    I had a similar experience at Miller last summer... I went in one weekend to check out the cars and brought one of my friends along. I knew someone at the Bentley showroom, so he told me that there was a Bugatti Veyron in the shop up at Ferrari. So naturally, I got right up there, and told them that I heard it was there. After a short quiz verifying that I knew this person, a salesman named phil(?) brought me down to the shop. Lo and behold, there was the Veyron waiting to be unleashed. After looking at the outside for a while, he asked me if I would like to take a seat inside! My heart racing, I opened up the door and sat in the drivers seat. After a while of looking around on the inside, he told me to look in the console for a key, insert it, and hold down the ignition button. I asked him probably 10 times he was serious, and then I followed his directions... but the battery was dead. Nontheless, the experience was amazing, and I know that it will carry with me for a long time. Sorry for the long story, but I feel that Miller is one of the best shops around, and stories like this one and the others just back that up.
