    Today was the HUGE Ferrari Festival at Highland Village benefitting Texas Children's Cancer Certer we do every year. This year was the biggest ever with over 110 Ferrari cars. I believe that makes this event one of, if not the biggest, Ferrari meet in the south. I'm telling you this because it sets the stage....our car was SWAMPED with spectators. We're getting respect.
    Go for a drive fellas.

    I was out today! Did about 60 miles around Boston. Heat works...I think we owe the folks at BaT credit for making our cars far more recognizable than they were even 3 years ago.

    Great car, such understated lines and great colour combo.

    I really like living where I do but I have to admit that at times I'm a little envious of your guys longer driving season.

    The car is beautiful.....a great color blue. Even with that REAR Italian plate mounted on the front. :)

    It's sitting rather low in the back--does yours normally droop like that in that short amount of time? Mine stays quite steady even over months of sitting......although it's dropped now since it hasn't been started in 9 months and I have the rear sway bar disconnected...(sad to say...yes)

    Mine jumps right up in the rear as soon as it starts. But over the years it has been lowering faster as time goes by.
    And its a FRONT plate :D

    Gotcha. I wonder what the "failure" is if there is no fluid leak?

    BTW, here is a front Italian plate on my Milano. And the difference in size between front and rear. Not a huge deal of course, but I figured I'd explain what I meant.

    That doesn't take anything away from your beautiful blue machine.....I love that color for sure. And the fact that it's rear hinds aren't cut for side markers...lovely stuff.

    I was just busting your chops Brian. We're good. (But it's on the front which makes it a front plate :D)

    As far as failure is concerned I would guess that if leaking isn't an issue then the other two likely components of any load leveler failure would be the pump itself and the check valves. Thoughts?

    To put Dave's car into perspective...this was the Main Lot..

    Note also tx246's "Change of heart Dino" completed in the lower right corner.

    :D :D :D

    Attendance was estimated by Franco Valobra as "over 5,000"......and he still did not run out of champagne!!!

    Hahahaha well lookie there! I'm opening the trunk of mine (rightside of the picture about halfway back) to get more champagne out. We had our own bar setup in the trunk.

    Done with class sir! Hats off to you!

    Although Prosecco would have been more appropriate coming out of that beautiful ride! :)

    Cheers!

    That view reminds me of any number of "LeMans-type starts" in the old Speed Racer cartoons.
