    Ivan...Thanx for compliments on Posters! It's been great fun to create them for the last 5 years. Attached is my favorite from 2009 featuring 2 gorgeous Italian bodies. ~Rick Andreoli

    Personally I like the 2012 one the best.

    They would be nice on a wall - are these available for sale anywhere?

    I will be with the Vignale spyder at the Keeneland Concours in Lexington, KY on July 20 and The Concours of America (the ex-Meadowbrooks) in Plymouth, MI on July 28. If you are attending, come over and say hi.

    Hi Trev,

    This is shot of the engine compartment and I bet you recognize the sticker on the air cleaner.

    You will have to attend one of the shows to see the rest of the car :)

    Beautiful engine compartment Ivan. Trev's sticker really makes it pop. I have one too...thanks Trev.

    My car is done, but I had to send it to the shop that rebuilt the transmission (the second time). It appears that I now need to replace third gear. I do not have the number yet, but if you have any idea where I can find one, I would appreciate it.

    Frank may know as he has contacts in Italy that work on these gearboxes.

    :)....I'd love to see her! I'll try and get down there.

    Glad the FISPA decal worked out! It looks great. They wouldn't have been done as well without your help Ivan!

    Ciao and best!

    Glad the FISPA decal is on your car Mark. Now you'll get more points at Pebble! :)

    If I hear of any ZF parts I'll let you know.

    FGM has all the contacts in the old country!!!

    Frank and Trev, thank you. I talked to one of the guys at Epifani's last week that was not working on my car. The gentleman that rebuilt my transmission was gone for the weekend. I spoke to him yesterday and third gear is fine. He is going to lap the gears to get more clearance between the ones that are noisy....no unobtanium parts needed.
