    I just took possession of one today, a very nice Rosso Corso example. It doesn't need any photos; we all know what they look like. I wanted to share with all of you, though, my experience with the sellers at the notary-auto title transfer place today. The husband was winding the 328 into the parking lot as my wife drove me in. We went to the notary's window (It's in a shopping mall.) and began the transfer process. I looked behind me and saw a tall, beautiful woman observing us, who turned out to be the co-seller, the gentleman's wife. After the introduction, she explained that she and her husband had taken the car out for a farewell drive in the early morning and that she had cried a bit in bidding it goodbye. After completing the paperwork, we decamped for the parking lot, where I was presented with the keys. The husband had already vowed to me that he'd be getting a 360 Modena, so I reminded him of that, in lieu of what I could see was a difficult parting. With that, he said, 'I reminded my wife this morning that I'm a special Ferrari owner.' Then he lifted the sleeve of his t-shirt to reveal a tattoo on his bicep of the prancing horse and the initials 'S.P.' They are the loveliest people and I will be happy to hear of a 360 in their driveway. You know who you are, and I thank you. Bill Grady.

    Congrats!

    I disagree with you on one point. There will never, ever be too many Ferrari 328 photos. ;)

    Congrats, and a great story as well! Go ahead and post a few pics. We all know what they look like, but it's sort of a tradition here. :)

    Ok, I will, as soon as my son returns home and shows me how. I posted the story to illustrate what wonderful people so many Ferrari owners are. Thank you for the kind words.
