Actually we have two GT/Es here. One Series 2 in my garage and a Series
3 on the way which I have yet to see.

Does that mean you aren't going to stand me to a bottle or ten of

person and 328GTS owner, Iain Miller (he who suffered sniping about his
beautiful wife from the aforementioned troll - probably because the
aforentionned troll will never have a beautiful wife) but this year I'm
hoping to get back to my more usual habit of touring in mainland Europe
with the car (an '84 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, with very fine black tyres
[go fuck your hat, Matt]) so a proper service is in order if we are to
enjoy the Alps without the fear of anything going bang...

And I trust this journey is going to be documented in the usual way?

And there's a Mondial QV Cab in my garage.

And I thought that was just a parts shelf.

My dear fellow! of course not. Even in the darkest of financial times,
one can still manage a bottle (or ten) for a gentleman such as yourself.

Abso-damn-lutely. That particular website is need of a serious overhaul.
A Euro tour will be just the spark needed.

No, no, not for years. The Mondial just needs a clutch. The Fastback
has been a parts shelf for some time now, but it will be done by the
end of the year. Has to be. It's going to SEMA.

And, everyone, keep your fingers crossed. I think I've found hand
controls for the Mondial. I may be driving it to Monterey this year
myself!

Jesus H. Christ! Are we back to the mutual love fest marathon?
<Sniff>, indeed!

I just wanted to tell all of you that I have decided to buy a shotgun.
I think it is best for home protection in the wild, wild west that still
exists here in Prescott. The guy at the Quik Stop liquor store a block
away from my apartment (they still have Sierra Nevada Celebration
Ale!!) told me he sells 30 crystal meth pipes a week. Since I have
definitive knowledge of the kind of people who buy such apparati, and
considering that my two cats, my TV, and my a/v equipment are more
precious to me than life itself (well ... only sometimes for the TV and
the a/v stuff), I feel it only necessary that I be able to blow some
motherfucking tweaker's chest out of his ass if threatened.

And, like I did with my mountain bike, I will be affixing a Scuderia
Ferrari sticker to the stock. That way the last thing Mr. Tweako will
see as blood rushes out of his mouth will be the prancing horse.

I got a job working the graveyard stocking shift at the local Petsmart.
That way I get a discount on all the ridiculous things I lavish on
Dahlia and Nickie, like Greenies dental treats (liver flavor). And the
trip to Guns Guns Guns (also a block away) becomes a reality instead of
a pile of bullshit.

A warning to Mikal is now in effect. If he wants to get fucked in the
ass by a Mossberg 500 Special Purpose - .410 pump loaded with #2 shot
and slugs alternating with no choke - I beg him to follow up on his
gutless insults and board that plane to his final destination.

You know Winchester makes (made, they went under this year)
triple-aught buck for that little .410... I have a few boxes myself.
They have 5 pellets per round in the 3" shell, and 3 pellets in the
2.5" version.

Obviously I'm new here.

The others have pretty well covered the subject for me. Paul made a
good point in that www.ferrarichat.com is a good source for Ferrari
owner stories and the like. If you think this group is interesting
you'll spend hours sifting through all the threads over there, as they
have more members and are much more active.


No offense taken, I just bristle at the bi-yearly "new guy complaining
about off-topic content" posts, as we have no moderator here and don't
particularly want one.


Have a good one.

Good on ya, man. I take it some progress has been made on the white car

That thread still cracks me up...
