Very interesting, thank you. No I wasn't thinking about the Alfa engine (don't even know the connection to the California). From your report it sounds like the 360 engine design was used as a base for the 4.2 Maser engine and then that engine was further developed into the F430 engine. So for all intents and purposes I'd say your engine does qualify. Your factory tour confirms that. BTW: The MC12 IMHO also qualifies, in case you guys have one sitting around. Sorry Tillman for the hijack. I pack my things now and take a hike.
Here are the pics of Greg and Rob's cars, taken an hour ago. Like a genius, I of course forgot to take a picture of mine. Will try to remember on the way home. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here's my data log ... Gawd I am ashamed of myself 23761 - 21035 miles = 2,726 miles only Last year I did about 4500 miles. Image Unavailable, Please Login
thanks for getting the pic Jim. My total of 184 miles may be good enough for the garage queen award but not for Mille Miglia. Forr 2009 I will combine total miles on all the cars to get sail past the mille miglia mark. Greg
58075. A whopping 1551 miles. I'm ashamed of myself. There were extenuating circumstances though. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sam wins with 2,726 miles! Hurrah! Shoot me a PM with your info and I'll get something out to you sometime next week. I got to start looking for the right cup too, haven't found the one I want yet.
