    Are you ready for this? Last week I was in a Goodwill Superstore on Rufe Snow in North Richland Hills looking through the auction case to see if there was anything I wanted to bid on. I looked through the pictures and found the one above,,,,,,,,for $5 and a framed print of the same size of a 288 GTO, for $3.

    I had the "Man Was Meant to Fly" poster on the wall of my office at FoD on 75 and always wanted another one after my exit from Ferrari. I could not believe I found those two framed prints for $8. Now I have the two of them on my office wall at a Tom Thumb supermarket. Not pictures of asparagus spears and heads of lettuce but things really appealing.......

    If you look on the very bottom of the "Man" poster it has "Classic Ferrari", address and all....Cool......

    damn! thats a steal! I did meet up with the guy yesterday and picked the picture up. Your right it still does have the classic address on the bottom. Story he told me was that years ago he wanted to buy a ferrari and he wanted to see if he could fit in one so he went down to classic and tried (the guy is over 6'3") and he ended up buying the poster on his visit not a ferrari. I love it. It has found a good home out here at the airport.

    Cool. Mine has the red frame just like the one that was in my office there. The office was the one in the back of the showroom. I could not believe that after all these years I would run across one in a Goodwill. I have a limited edition 360 spider picture that is 1 of 4 done. It is really interesting. It has the 360 sideview in the center of the picture. It has a hazy purple background and has an interior view, shiftknob, key, engine view through the rear cover and a few other things in the background. I love the picture. If I can get a photo shot of it I will post it on here. I have not seen another one like it.......

    Jake,
    How long have you had your 355? If not too personal, where did you get it? Just wondering if I might have any connection......
