    After eight months of looking--aided significantly by lurking & learning on this board for nearly that long--I finally bought a 360 Modena F1. It's currently on one of VIP Transport's trucks, somewhere between Dunedin, Florida, and my home in Eugene. It's a rosso/black 2003 w/ power seats; "full" leather; sound system u/g w/ CD changer; Challenge grills; red calipers; and Tubi exhaust. Currently has just over 8K miles, and is under warranty until April of 2006. Sweet!

    Can't wait to roll it off the truck in a week or so, and drive some local roads--rain or shine. Hard to believe after all this time that it's really, truly headed this way...

    BTW, the individual I bought it from also has a 2001 550 w/ about 11K miles for sale, as well as a couple older F-cars, and an historic M-B convertible that once belonged to Conrad Hilton. He was a great guy to deal with, and I can put anyone interested in touch with him.

    Thanks to all who have provided valuable input via this board. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you in person.
