    Ahhh, such memories that brings back. My son was viewing the video with me and remembered that when he was riding with me that he hit his head really hard against the back of the seat (with very little padding) when I accelerated up like Jay did. Way back in the archives is the story of my three days with the car. I remember it like it was yesterday............... Click on my profile and you will see the car I drove. Sigh, and I had to give it back.....parting is such sweet sorrow.......

    I am envious of myself. I just wish I had had more time in it........sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jay is really cool about his cars. It is like he wants to let others enjoy them vicariouly and he will take the monetary hit on purchasing them.

    We sold Rod Stewart a 550 Barchetta and don't think he ever drove it........What a waste....

    He sure is - he insisted multiple times after I kept declining to climb into his F1. I'm 6' 5" and while a contortionist act, I fit comfortably. He was very, very cool.

    Wasnt his F1 but I bumped into him around midnight at a newstand and he pulled up behind my 355 in his SLR. I was admiring the car and he graciously told me to hop in !

    Ive never heard a negative thing about him.. real down to earth guy.

    Good. I was told that he never took it out to play. I am glad that someone has seen him out in it........
