    Naw, my first wife started out like that, but became unreliable after high mileage was rolled on her!

    Had to trade her in for GF #1.

    That came off the 'net man. Stockholm Sweden.

    Maybe our New Man can find her!

    See, he DOES know her!!!

    Well, we had some stars in town for football last weekend, but none I saw compared to THAT! (Well, maybe the University of Texas cheerleaders)

    Is she a model or film star or something?

    You tell THAT young lady that the Rodeo starts next month, and she can stay out at my brother's ranch! Longhorns and all! LOL

    That's priceless, man.

    But the closest I get to a horse is the rear of my car. I grew up in Galveston, on the coast, so I'm more into the beachfront, surfer girl look.

    BUT I CAN CHANGE! If that lil' cowgirl's interested.

    Check my profile, winning the Texaco Grand Prix of Houston in my class in '98. Dario Franchitti won the CART heat later in the day. Maybe you could give me a referral.

    Seriously I have some friends in the music business, mainly blues and alternative country. I think Dale Watson has played in Helsinki, Finland and I met some girls from Finland once in my local honky tonk, watching Asleep at the Wheel.

    OK, Use an NGK BP5ES in the 208, keep a spare set in the trunk for emergencies.

    Use Royal Purple 20-50W, or Mobil 1 in a pinch.

    Goodyear tires, the GSD3 Eagle F1 are made in Germany, I use those.

    Change the air, oil, and fuel filters per the Owner's manual, and drive it ALL THE TIME.

    And don't stay out too late, downtown!

    But the offer still stands, if ALL of ya'll want to come to the Rodeo!
    Welcome to FChat. Pm me for another good chat site. ;)

    I also think the stock wheels are okay. I'd keep them over the 5 stars, but that's really a personal call. Your choice. I think I have a spare one like that, if I can find it I'll send it to you.

    Thanks for the cowgirl pic!

    Hi Alan, (Speedy308) You most clear some space in you private messages storage.

    I hope the pain in the neck isn't to bad. Why I purchase the car in Italy? The Ferrari is made in Italy :) . No not only that, in Italy the cars has no rust! and it's possible to find some very nice "old" classic Ferrari with very low mileage, my car has only 40.000km on the clock. I must say that the car that I purchase was the most good looking car I was possible to find.

    Sorry to say that the GT4 have never got turbocharging... :(

    Now I will go skiing, I'm coming home on Monday.

    So long, Claes.

    Ps. Alan, I will try to get the red t-shirt of so I can send it to you. :)

    Skiing! You lucky dog!

    My skis rest quietly in the corner, waiting for the day.
    190cm, 195cm, 200cm.

    I have a friend in Colorado, I haven't seen in a while.

    It took me some time to figure out the FChat Pm, it's empty now.

    Oh, I forgot about your temperatures there!

    You may want to go with a 5-50W Mobil 1.

    Sorry, it gets HOT here, so we use the 20-50W!

    So were ski conditions good?

    We're starting to get some base, here in the states, as well.

    I say keep the basket wheels! My .02 cents (US)

    Hi Speedy308,

    yes the skiing was very good? But now the snow has start to melt, it's raining. I think the snow is coming back soon... so I think I have to wait some more month before I go to Italy to collect my car.

    I have at last decide to order the "Opera Omnia 1946-2002" books from the Ferraristore and what do you think happens... the words "PRODUCT NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT" is screaming on the screen... so I will be left here at my frustration.

    Any of you guys have a connection for wiper arms? My GT4 is missing them and Ferrari UK and Superformance are pretty steep when you add in shipping and duty. Any other car have the same arms...Lancia, Alfa?
