    Oi. What a decision!
    I saw a Rosso (rosso corsa?) Ferrari F355 (Berlinetta? the convertible one) on Illinois Road and Ramona Ct. 45 minutes ago in Wilmette. It is LOUD, even when not accelerating! I heard it more than a quarter mile away! Was it anyone's on here??

    I hear you. Although I believe these are classified as "champagne problems"

    Berlinetta is the coupe, Spider is the Convertibles. Also Spider = Ferrari, Spyder = Lamborghini. Italians..who knows.

    It is. As close to it as I'll ever get.

    The one Ferrari I'd love to drive more than any other but likely never will.

    To be perfectly honest: I never tried it. Both bottles are part of a collection of "cute" wine bottles which only serve as decorum. John made probably the better decision. :)

    That's very cool, I'm happy to see it displayed! :) Who knows, if someone let Jeremy Clarkson drive one, someone's gotta let you drive one. :D (Did you see that episode?)

    Haven't seen that yet.

    I have a standing offer to any 288 GTO owner to give them the original Schedoni luggage of the car for letting me drive it for a moment.

    That's very generous.
    Btw,I am in touch with Joe Sackey since the beginning of the year regarding the 288.
    If all goes well,I'll have one here hopefully end of the year or soon after.
    You would get the opportunity to try it out.

    Whoa!

    I'd be delighted to pass on that Schedoni suitcase. Few people know that there is such a thing.
