    Boy did you open a can of worms...I had no idea this section even existed! I am convinced that no one has had more fun with a former Ferrari Challenge car that I have! NO ONE! For the record, and thanks to David Seibert, I am composing a Ferrari Challenge Website, and have most of the early records. This section will be a welcomed source of information in my quest to finish this project.

    Fantango, i have always loved you car! the colors, for no logical reason, are perfect. it is very obvious that you truely love and charish your car and the memories you have had in it. i think you are the owner Enzo had in mind when he created these cars.

    Now that really makes me feel good that others can see my enthusiasm for Ferrari! I started not to put these original colors back on, but you are right, they stand out. I think this was in the Tommy Hillfinger time...

    LOL, I do keep them stored in a database on my computer. Makes for easy referencing. I can only remember so many numbers. With that said, your car is impossible to forget. I think my favorite part of your car - besides the exhaust note - is the odometer. :)

    I hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful holiday.
