    I bought this car over 3 months ago, and immediately took it in for a 30k major service. Tragedy struck while it was in the shop – the owner and principal mechanic died – and I just got the car back two weeks ago. I finally have had an opportunity to enjoy it, with summer finally arriving in the Northwest on Thursday. At long last, here it is:

    Thanks! Work so far: Hyperflow cats and Quicksilver exhaust; the (obvious) 360 wheels; removed the Scuderia shields (poor quality and misplaced too low by PO, new Yoshis are here!), removed license plate holder from front grill and replaced with a Cavalino; a whole lot of cleaning and polishing. I really love this car!

    Chris - Thanks. The guy was quite an icon in the Portland area - at least in the exotic car realm. Dick Guthrie of ATD. Hell of a guy. Some nice post on the Northwest chat pages under "Dick Guthrie" and "ATD".
