    The "Team" is upstairs, so I rarely hassle them, although I took a nice elevator ride with Mr. Risi once, at Windsor Court.

    This was all a chance development as my Child Advocates teamwear and his where made at the same place, I ended up dating the cashier for awhile... her name is Evelyn, a hot Spanish babe.........I have not seen her in a few years, we need to find her she'll fix you up, in more ways than one..

    Hmmm, I guess these clothes HAVE gotten me some action then, come to think of it that way.

    I don't order for Risi, the stuff I have authorized them to make was fpr my use or a few Chatters have benefitted as well!


    Mr. G., given the experiences I have had with Ferraris on fire, I'm not sure I'd trust the "other product line".......I love kids though a few more before I go for my Dirt Nap wouldn't hurt......Lady V. laughs loudly at THAT suggestion....!!!!

    Karen,

    We need to get you some dancing shoes with Sindo308QV charms on them. Valeria liked hers so much she came over after the break up, to dig them out of my closet!

    He made the charms, and we put them on some Jimmy Choos.........

    "If your gonna walk all over my heart, you are gonna have to take off those shoes...."

    Like Mr. G's pic, Dr. Wolinsky recently me a NART polo shirt that was very well done, so contact him in the 308 Section for vendor info on that.

    IMO that's the proper attire for North American owners, as Jim says in tribute Mr. Chinetti, Sr.

    Alright I'll exempt you from the comment about the guys in shorts since I realize you're wearing the gear as sort of a uniform at certain events.

    Would you prefer a blank profile or one filled with false information like so many others? Does using a name like "Howie Felterbum" really lend any cred?

    Note the blond behind me, from Holland......had to coat her, top to bottom, in some SPF45......probably saved her life!

    That was a reporter from the New York Times, I led off the article......

    Hottest day / worst sunburn of my life: working flag station standing on concrete apron wearing shorts, no sunscreen, burned bright red by lunch break and the ONLY long pants I had with me were the ones attached to my 2-layer Sparco suit.
    Some days you should have just stayed in bed...

    I have a small, gold prancing horse charm on a thin rope chain that's about 1/2 inch in size that I've had for years. I wear it all the time and usually nothing else. I have a few jackets and a hat that were gifts though.

    That could work in LA but in NY during the winter I'm not sure that that would be enough.

    Apparently you did not use the condom. When I use them it says: Ferrari, made in Maranello Italy.

    Thats odd; when I use them it says: Ferrari, made in Maranello Italy from certified materials under a computer controlled manufacturing process that ensures the highest possible quality in accordance with the long and honored Ferrari tradition.

    You sea-level types crack me up with your sunburns, although I would have definitely volunteered (make that begged) to help the girl from the Netherlands with her suntan lotion. For all of you living under a thick atmosphere, I recommend Neutrogena SPF 85 when you have to go out in the sun. Transparent zinc oxide and non-greasy. I use it when I go fishing above 8000', which is most of the time in Colorado.

    Only Ferrari branded items I have besides keychains are a G-P watch with a very subtle silver cavallino on it. My wife has a sterling necklace Ferrari pendant (no Ferrari script, so very few recognize it) and a pair of horse only cavallino ear rings. Chromed pot metal, like the ones on our cars, only way smaller, about $10.

    Have actually tried to find a nice long sleeve shirt for her, but all I have seen are too garish. Her Corvette shirt was very tasteful, and the only Corvette item we ever owned, but wore out about the time I traded the last Z06 for the 575M.

    If anybody knows where you can find a tasteful lady's Ferrari shirt, let me know.

    I saw a ladies' Ferrari shirt on ebay a while back that I liked because it looked sort of like a polo but with a horse instead. I hated the color though, but it was sort of understated and I liked it otherwise.

    It's funny, as my opinion has changed over the past couple of years.

    Before I owned a Ferrari but was a ferrari fan, I never had any Ferrari stuff.

    When I bought one, I did not want to have any stuff, as I felt like I was "showing off".

    Then after a few years of ownership, I decided that Ferraris were fun, but offensively priced and no better than many other cars, so I got rid of mine.

    Then Kimi won the WDC, and I bought my first Ferrari shirt. At that point I was pretty jacked up about the team despite not being an owner. I wore it with pride, admitting to myself at last that I am a tifosi.

    I decided that I didn't care that Ferraris were offensively priced and no better, that I was going to embrace the insanity and enjoy it.

    So I got another Ferrari.

    Now I have a couple other shirts, none of which actually say Ferrari anywhere, and I wear them off and on (though never when I am in the car unless at a rally or event). At this point, I think I decided I just don't care. I don't care if the company has some offensive policies. I don't care that reliability of road cars is often considered in race car terms (... this part should last 2 track days and then you should expect to replace it). I don't care if someone knows that I am a Ferrari nut.

    Because unless you are a Ferrari nut, you really shouldn't own one. Unless you think that a prancing horse tattoo and naming both of your children Enzo regardless of gender is perfectly normal, you should have another car. There is no logic in this addiction, no need or necessity here. This is all about irrational passion and adoration.

    And so now I think NOT wearing a Ferrari shirt here or there is just denying your inner tifosi! So bring it out of the closet!
