    Brothers and Sisters of The Revolution,

    I hope all of you are safe and well. I put my stimulus money to good use and bought some cool F355 collectibles. I have always had an addiction to this car and feel compelled to buy just about anything that relates to it. One of the items that I bought was a factory F355 video that was available in the 1995 Ferrari Idea catalog. The problem is that it is a PAL formatted video and us Yankees don't use it. Given that its a factory video no video conversion business will convert it. Does anyone know anyone that could help convert this to digital? Thanks!

    Per our Facebook discussion, I'll be hunting for a local video service who can read the format and digitize it. Make sure you PM your phone number.

    Thank you both! I think the best plan of attack is to go through The Outcast (Dennis) first as he is local and may know someone. If that does not pan out JohnK I will be contacting you. Thank you!!!!

    I just got a call from the video transfer guy...he'll be open on 5/26/2020, and the copyright issue is not a problem, as it is an advertising demo.

    Great stuff, looks like they hacked a couple of 348's to test the engine or something?
