    Thanks Pap, the office itself is about 12'x17' ( approx. 3.6 x 5.2 meters ), I can't pack anymore into it! The bookcase, my brother-in-law made, the red bookcase I got at Ikea.
    Now I just need to get another car, I sold my 308 about 3 years ago. Your car is gogeous,
    drive it alot! Thanks for your offer on the cap, I'll PM my address. I'm going to do an inventory in the next few days, I'll send you something I may have doubles on.

    What a great office Sindo. Once I get things gone that I need to get out of here, I plan on getting my office done. Mine is the same size but with a closet. I have a lot of things in the works that just need to be done so I can get some organization.

    I'm thinking of having glass doors put on the bookcase to keep the dust out. Dusting everything is getting old.

    I know you don't have to tell me I'm mesed up. It's gotten so bad people around town refer to me as the "Ferrari guy", and when I had my 308, it was "hey Magnum!" HaHa. What can I say, it's my passion.

    I started collecting around '97. Oddly enough the diecast part of it started with a 1/18 diecast of a ..... Lambo Diablo my brother gave me, even though I am a Ferrari fan. When I started to get the bug to buy the real thing, then the collecting when into high gear. The problem now is that the models I want are in the $300 + range. So I'm cooling off until I first get another 308 or 328, hopefully in a couple of years.

    Nice! I guess I've finally seen your office now!!!

    My personal favorites are the Gumby figure, and the Danica photos...

    Ironically neither have anything to do with Ferrari. :p

    HaHa! Yeah, I sometimes pose Gumby and Polky in sexual positions when guests come over just to mess with them. How's it going with you and your family? How's work over there?

    I love your desk! What an excellent idea.

    It's all good Sindo. Hoping to bring the family over once school ends. Be back in Miami during July sometime.

    By the way, that Danica photoshoot was done on the beach in front of one of my company's hotels. I was actually there that day, but the staff was trying to keep the shoot quiet.

    IE: not tell me. Jerks, especially considering I was their boss at the time....

    Mike nice to hear evryone's good. Keeping Danica for yourself huh?
    When I last went to Indy with my wife, a couple of people came up
    to my wife for her autograph thinking she was Danica,especially
    with her sunglasses on.
    Carbon, I know , I know, I really do have to get an Enzo pic. I kinda
    like the one where he's young at the wheel of a car, but then the whole
    older ,sunglasses thing is cool too.
    Future collector, yes the MC12 is a Hotwheels, one of my favorites.
